I'm on your host, Blessing, Adi L.A. Jr., alongside the founder and CEO, Grasshopper Manufacture, Suited 51. Hello. And also joining us is the community manager. and interpreter for Suda 51, James Mountain. How's it going?

Welcome back, welcome back. Just some dude. And we also got Greg. Hey, everybody, I'm here to play. I'm just going to play. Yeah, Greg is here to play. The one and only Romeo is a dead man, of course, if you're watching. We just did a games cast all about Romeo's a dead man,

but even more so about Suda 51 and his career. And now we're jumping into the game. The game is out next week, February 11th, I believe is the date. Greg's going to hopping. Greg, have you been, is this one? you've been looking forward to. Where are you at with Romeo's a day? Yeah, every time we've seen the trailers for it, I've been stoked about it. It's gotten me more and more in, especially as I'm always like, oh, this is one, yeah, I'll chase.

This is one I want to go after. Hi. Yeah. Now, Suda, when we were talking earlier, you mentioned 150% more blood than any of the games we put out recently. How would you say, how would you measure, I guess, the craziness, the wackiness, right? Like, how out of control does this game get compared to your previous games? Yeah, I mean, uh,

now the last the time of the time. Uh, uh, the, uh,

the time that's, yeah, I'm doing, yeah, yeah, yeah, so,

that's, uh, yeah, that's, that's, that's, what, you know,

it's, the level, is, that's, that's, um, mech, much,

much, it's not, it's, that's, that's, that's, that's, the story,

uh, uh, uh, I'm, uh, Mario and Peach's and Romeo and Juliette's exactly the same

so much so much this is pretty much this game it's actually probably going to be he'll really easy

to understand compared to all the stuff we're beautiful it's pretty much the same exact story is a story of like

Mario and Peach and like you know Romeo and Juliet it's just you're you know run of the mill basic ass love story

really easy to get into an understand every day is the same beautiful I'm pretty sure he's being sarcastic. Or we have to start worrying about him. Now we're jumping into this intro cut scene here.

I want to acknowledge and compliment the visuals. Yeah, how did we do this here? This visual, how did we do this here? This is studio in the studio, actually, this is the show of this. Kaj's the first in the studio. This is an actual, like, diorama that we actually have in the studio. That's cool. big ass town of of

Deadford and filmed it using that. This is so cool. Of course if you're watching live, remember you can super chat in to be a part of the show over on YouTube.com slash kind of funny games. If you're watching the games that they did before this, also I love these titles, by the way. Oh, thank you.

Yeah, it reminds me of Yorgos, the director behind Poor Things and his most recent recent movie, Bougonia. There's like a similar kind of style that I like. I watched it on playing. That was awesome. Yeah, right? This opening was Yorgos, the director of something like,

I thought, Poor Things, the movie or the other like that recently, Magonia, that's

Oh, Magonia also yeah. Yeah, I'm a chucked I, right, yeah, yeah,

yeah, I, okay, I'm really really really. Oh, really?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the current president is controlled by a fifth generation AI, implanted by

the Space Time King. The space time king, what the hell is that? He has an AI chip in his brain. All his executive orders are decided by the AI.

Wait a second. A person? Let's pull over. This is car number four. I'll go check it out. As I was saying, if you were watching the games cast before this, I'll be pulling Super Chats in from that episode. We had so many come in, but I was able to get to all of them.

Look at you. Pain the forward. Come on. Here we go. Someone's asking why I'm all wet, and my hair kicked getting in my eyes. I just couldn't be bothered. I was wet. Yeah.

Yeah, already we're getting a lot of blood. Also are we here. Shout up to the Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Delaney the Saw in Twining. Already so at my alley. Let's get weird. Let's have some AI stuff. Let's talk about the end of the world. Let's bring us some undead zombies. And now we've got a portal junkie motorcycle. Seriously? Don't worry.

I made this just in case. The Dead Gear Life Support System. Damn, five seconds left. Don't move, okay? Oh, right, yeah. This visual. Yeah. You're not a person.

You got to watch this. Yeah, how is your art team able to manage all these different styles? You had the diorama. You then went to like the realistic kind of visuals, and now you're in this cartoon world. like how much is your art team doing for all this? Art team, how do you know what kind of art team

do you like this? How do you know, like this, this is all of all this all right? Maybe it was in-house or maybe, and then it's like that

all right, so how did it, how did it, uh, that's, uh, that's, uh,

pre-endant of the place, this is the, uh, Girogmy's, the Girogmy is, Glock, 0.0, 0,000, uh, academy show up

that company, and then um, and the time made made made made made that's yeah,

uh, ninja badman, yeah, ninja badman, that's doing so with so, uh,

uh, uh, uh, actually, it wasn't all just our, uh, internal art team, uh, a lot of the animations

will see what were done by, uh, uh, a couple of studios we collaborated with. One of them is, they're called Shirokumi. They worked on one of the more recent Godzilla movies. Oh, that. No, Niro, Niro. Or something like that.

Another one is, uh, Kemi, Kami Kaze Doga. Another one is Kami Kaze Doga, which is another studio we've worked with, we've worked with for a while. They're just, they're really good at what they do. They come up with all kinds of,

a crazy shit and yeah they handle a lot of the actual animated sequences for us Shirogmy's man, yeah, oh yeah, uh, shirogmy, sorry, that's... Kamikaze's kami Kami Kama Doha, the second one did he mentioned. Yeah, they worked on the the Ninja Batman series. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yakuza and Ninja Batman. That's cool. That's cool. This is cool.

I'm going to die, so don't worry about it. Everybody knew that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Greg's on the controller, they knew you're supposed to die. I wouldn't die if I'm not supposed to die. Yeah, but video game, not really not going to be in the game has not just to make

make the controller to try to try and get in the game, I'm going to get in the game. A lot of times when you start a game, like it takes too long for you to actually get into the game and be able to do anything, you know? So we tried to keep it as short and sweet as possible so you can at least do something. thing with the controller, quite a way for the game to actually finally start.

Oh yeah, Greg, you like these comic con-coup panels. Oh, yeah, this is what we saw in the trailers. I was like, oh, wait a second, this seems like to only my stuff. This is a lot of the diner every night as their love grows. Eventually, Juliet persuades him to elope with her. This scene was in the normal

um, uh, art, uh, leader, and, uh, other, uh, uh, the video satka is one, this one, Araki, this one of two are conby-cun, and they're making this scene right here in particular was done by

one of our veteran artist named Nomaro. And we also have a video director named Araki, who they work together to put together this whole

sea These are actual grasshopper group. Cloud Cheap, who is watching live, is asking if there's any plans for a physical release. I'm, I'm going to hear about right, right.

Physical band does you're okay are. Now just getting to do work

we're doing we're we're doing we're just a digital version

let's all we'd love to put out a physical edition we're doing what we can to make

that happen in the moment but for now everyone please buy the shit out of the digital version that would

actually help us make a physical So, but we're trying. Oh, nice choice. Yeah. Ahum, who's watching live, wants to know, will you ever return to the somber, surreal, even spiritual tone of Moonlight syndrome or the political thriller style of Killer 7 in the future? Oh, yeah. Like, sort of, like, sort of, like, sort of, um,

stage-like, um, like a lot of a little bit of a leader like that yeah, like a style, uh, might have to, uh, yeah, that's off-

promise, yeah, I'll, you'll get back to it, yeah. Awesome. For sure. Yeah, maybe,

you know, maybe, you know, it's right, x, uh, , uh, , You're comfortable with the controls and everything, like the rod next to the heavy moves and the lighter moves.

Yeah. No, easy to pick up and play. Easy to get your head wrapped around. The voice that says dead when you finish that combat sequence, is that the same voice from No More Heroes? Is I remember hearing like a similar sort of thing? Oh, that's going on. Yeah, yeah.

That is normal heroes to the same voice? Oh, is, yeah. Yeah, the voice is different, because of the company's voice, this is the voice of somebody one of the guys in our studio

apparently. James, also, I'm at least I myself actually have a voice part in the game as well. Oh, cool.

See you guys can figure out. You James or a Suda 51? Oh, me, me. Oh, that's cool, that's cool. Was it earlier already? Was it in the first cut scene? Because I thought, I saw, it sounded like you. I don't think it's come out.

It's not, it's right, right, it's right? Yeah, it's a one. It actually, yeah, it has come up one. Oh, I got the ear, everybody, don't worry. The white devil, a really disturbed guy claiming to be from the FBI Space Time police showed up. According to this Kimberly fellow, Juliet is a space-time drifter that has popped in and out of all sorts of different eras. Is she a singularity? A variant?

A clone? Or a visitor from another? Mario's a little bit of Mario to just a different is a couple of there's no Cooper equal

Peachieheme like Juliett is both of Juliett got the role of singularity uh one difference between

this game and Mario is there's no cupa and there's no Bowser in this game in this game Juliet kind of does double duty

as the princess and Bowser in the same time. Inventive. It's basically the only difference between this story and Mario and general. Good to know, good to know. I want to shout out this one that we got from Banderas, N, who's watching live, who says,

Hey, Suda, No More Heroes was my first M-rated game ever, and I was obsessed with it. Been a fan ever since. Still listen to Philistine from No More Heroes, too. This is a group member from a comment on. I, right. The first emulating game was No More Heroes. Oh.

Oh. Wow, thanks so much. This is no more. No More 2 of Philistine I'm really, I'm really, what kind of song was that? It was kind of like

upbeat rock song, I also listened to that song a lot. Yeah. Yeah. It's a little, like, um, upbeat, I think it was one of the boss songs. I'm, um, most of the song song, yeah,

no Morrow Heroes 2 soundtrump, yeah, the No More Heroes 2 sound track, uh, actually appears to be pretty popular, among, among fans. We've got great taste in music. I listened to the Zazan boys out there. You said Zazin boys, I was, I turned out, I'm like, they're good, I like them, I like that. It's GERNOS what's up. We've Trevor space and dine that won some intense battles, and now, And now we discover another new Juliet.

Oh, okay, Romeo, it's time to fight. We have one from Sky who says, if you could use only three words to describe Romeo is a dead man, what would they be? Romeo is the Dead Man? Okay. Okay. Okay.

What's the word? Okay. Okay. Okay. He's here! He's got it! I mean, you think, okay, Oscar Wilde, clearly we need this, this random American dude with the manicure of adult being to get a voiceover for that, so that's why I was chosen. Uh-huh, ultra-violence, bratti, science fiction.

Okay. Uh, yeah, that's way more than three words, but let's say, ultra-violence is one word, bloody is one word, and then science fiction. Yeah. That has a dash, though. That counts. Yeah. So, that's... Yeah.

Thank you. Uh, AJB, in who's watching live, says they love Grasshopper's mix of visual mediums. They wish more studios experimented like that. Do you find it tough to create elements and match them together? Oh, that's right? Do you find it tough to make elements and match them together?

Um, Grasshopper's visual style is so good. More of different studios like this would like to do you know I think. How do you have to be able to make sure of how do you make sure how much can't be able to be able to do. How are you doing? Um,

this is all right, yeah, because of the schedule, that or the, you're just, yeah, hami-egett'n't, so there's,

there, I'm, there, probably, I'm, doing, And this, this is, this again, Thomas I, Hiros,

like, so, and, just a different form of the other ways of using, we're doing it's we're doing it, but we're doing it, and it's quite smithing-n-like-pick-s

making it look like this. We're not really starting to make it like this. these pretty great up, you know, full Polygon 3D game. I'll be honest, I was reading some of the comments and wasn't paying attention to the first part, but we've gotten similar questions, so I'm pretty sure I can nail this one. We came to a point we realized if we did the whole game just in the same visual style, it was actually going to go way over budget and way over schedule, and we decided, okay, we got to change some stuff around.

So we came up with the idea of making some, you know, using some of the visual style. for different parts of the game. Which is something we've experimented before some of our past games. And so yeah, we mixed up a bunch of visual styles, making things actually cheaper and take less time to make. Wow. R-D-R-D-N-A. Nice.

And the reason it all comes together so well in the end, he says, because the director's got an excellent eye. So that's... That's thanks to him. Greg, how's been on the stick so far? Feeling really, really good. Like in the style? Like in these attacks, love and zombies, of course.

Especially, you know, to go into that, uh, hold down R1, come in, make it all... ...at also, ah, so. So, this, long-push, so. Oh, you can, uh, long press the button, yeah, there you. Okay, yeah. Also, you know, the other, so, yeah. This is right, L, L. If you use one of the L buttons, you can like, hold your gun out.

Oh, L too. Oh, okay, yeah, there you go. Okay, yeah. And if you want to reload on command, you'd aim and then press square. Nice! Oh! It's... Mm. So, this game, for any-court,

but, well, in-distance, but, in-distance, there, can't get a lot of, So then, then the left here in the Blattie Gage is there, that there's got to, that's gonna be that gonna be able to

this, this kind of kind of a quick kind of here is, uh, if you use the, uh,

oh, there you go, if you use the gun, uh, you know, you get lots of blood, but if you use the, uh, the melee weapons and the sword and get up close, uh, you get even bloodier. And you've got that gauge on the left side of the screen there, called the blood gauge,

um, you actually just pull it off a second and you actually just pull it just pulled it off a second and go but if you get that all the way filled up you can pull off what's called Bloody Summer which is like Romeo's uh nice oh there we go come here which is that you need next time there's an E3 you need somebody to play i'm ready to go out so you're go ahead um also there that thing right there that little glowing thing on the ground uh you can blow those up too yeah i got the trophy for walking through them earlier i wasn't sure if they were good or bad Run through them. Yeah, you can just step on them too.

That's fine. Yeah. Let me get my upgrade material. That's one of the Mario things. Yep. Yeah. Nice. You see a barrel, you got it now.

There's somebody earlier in chat has gone now, but they mentioned that this game reminds them of the free-to-play skeleton man game. That's let it die, which is a game that came out from Grasshopper as well. Well, so. You know, I just, I, right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we're, like, that game in Nintendo, uh, , that's, like, a skeleton-like-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-old-a-old-a-old-a-old like a little-like-a-old, yeah.

Yeah, that's it-pac-pac-gave-dye-hack-a-game, and we're... Yeah, we were, uh, we were someone involved in that one, too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, funny enough, um, I know I mentioned, I'm a big fan of No More Heroes, but Let It Die is, like, like, right under that, it die is like, when I talk about my favorite grasshopper games.

I really love Blooded Die. Um, no more hero, but, um, I know, uh, one's like that'sop bag game of the cut through um,

uh, probably, that's maybe, maybe it's okay. Oh, thank you so much. Of course, yeah.

Oh, Lassie? Yeah, in my time previewing the game, I noticed that there's a lot of different, like, Lasi and different types of foods that you're picking up

and foods from different cultures. What inspired bringing that stuff into the game? This game I did it like to do that I thought of it, but I'm going to do come from there. There are, like, for many of the other countries, like, and other things like that. So, you know, that's what I've got to come from?

Yeah, I've got to get out to get it, I'm just. So, this, this, this is the main thing. I decided a while back that I'm going to start putting food, like some kind of food in all my games, And so for this one, I decided to go with Kutz Curry, which it's, yeah, you'll get into it a bit more later on. But that's kind of the, that's the main food item in Romanos again. There you go. He's locked in.

Yeah, right? We're in an old school TV. I love it. Again, like I feel like every like visual style in this game, moment to moment, feels so distinct but also so intentional. Yeah. that I like that's suitor. Yeah, that's true.

Yeah. Yeah. Wow, thank you. Yeah. It's really here. Yeah. Yeah.

I have a two-part question here. Yeah. What's the obsession with Juliet? Of course, Juliet from lollipop chainsaw? And then in your head, is Juliet from lollipop chain saw in alternate universe of this Juliet? Because you were talking about the multiverse. Thank you. Oh, you mean obsession with Juliet as in...

The name? Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no, not it. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Um, I'll be honest. I'm sorry. First, um,

Joliette's the name to, um, kind of, like, like, got it. Oh,

Rolipopper, you know, got to get back. Yeah. I'll be honest, sorry, I space, what was the second question again?

So, so, obviously, already having Juliet starling, right, for the last game. So why another

Juliet here? Oh, we like that name so much. And then the second part was, in your head is Juliet, Julia, Starling, an alternate version,

multi- is Juliet here? And the second is, um, Romeo in out of the Um, say,

uh, different time line, or a different, uh, Rory Pop's Juliet like, yeah, you know, uh,

Uh, well, uh, uh, , uh, and Nick, and Nick.

Nick, the name, actually was, the, one of the brother's, just a d'asay name it's

Nick to buy you Nick to buy you need to make you know to start

off he says for Lollipop chainsaw you know as you mentioned the character's

name is Juliet and she's got her her sidekick whatever Nick

her boyfriend who's mainly just a head on a shout Michael Rosenbaum

great great voice out and actually at first I meant to have the

character's named Juliet and her boyfriend would be Romeo. And then Warner Brothers stepped in and said, that name sucks. Changed to Nick.

And I was like, I think we can all agree. Nick is a terrible name. I've never met a Nick I enjoyed. Yeah, Nick was, I'm sure sure, there's a guy who's never. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's there.

Well, so, well, there's, yeah, yeah, come over here. Hey, Nick. So, that's why this I'm the show you know so that's the main didn't even at the first didn't even

shillette's like muck, m'c m'c'n'c out of this kind of character now just an character so anyway, I decided to he says I decided to name the main character or Romeo to, you know, kind of give him his props

that I got screwed out of giving him years ago and with lollipop chainsaw but conversely, Conversely, when I first started writing the game, Juliet wasn't that important or big of a character. She was barely in it, like if at all. And after, you know, going through and rewriting a couple of things and doing a couple more drafts, she just sort of naturally kind of became a bigger and bigger part of the game.

And now she's, you know, clearly a pretty crucial character. But, yeah, at first, she was barely in it at all. Maybe I didn't mention it a couple times. This is this. This place is a space, the other-go-the-the-the-air-the-air-the-crow-the-crow to the air-coup to connect with, and here in the here, and here, and here, then, and then, the place you're in now, this is called Sub-space.

You enter into the Nirvana TV, and it's sort of like a corridor between different levels, between different parts of levels. What you have to do here is, yeah, you've got to collect the... collect the pieces of the space time key for what's called the clista gate. And once you get all pieces together, you can finally progress on to wherever it is you're heading towards. We had a super chat in from Kessel Winks who says, just jumping in from catching up on the interview.

Is there a game or moment from a game that cemented Suda 51's dislike of Perry's? Ha ha ha ha ha ha. What? What? What? I like Paris I like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, you know,

like, this game had that because maybe that's there's that's

like that there's, yeah, uh, that's so, maybe, it's

I'm, uh, I'm too, little, that's, a little bit, uh, from software,

the game, uh, you know, Chrome's game. And Fromm's game, it's difficult, Pardie can't really can't. And so, that, um, meghe's just gonna. Okay. So, that's just...

So, see, C-Sik. Alright, so, um, this is secret, which is why he said it really quietly, but, um, he, uh, he tried playing some, uh, some games by uh, From Software. Oh, uh, uh, uh, Perry was really difficult, and, uh, I just couldn't. didn't seem to get it right. My man. And it just made me feel shitty and I gave up on it. But that's secret.

So, you know, try to keep it between us. We'll cut that out of the final. Right on. Yeah. Nice. Okay. He's locked in. He's locked in.

Were there any gameplay changes in your previous games that you implemented here that you weren't able to do in previous ones? You don't know, let's scripted the game with it. Right. quite a good combat of cycle that's done yeah, I'm not sure

this probably answers your question but, you know, we've been doing hack and slash action games, swords and stuff for a long time.

And it was, it had been a while since we did anything with guns. And I've been wanting to go back to to gun action for a while now.

And just the last couple games, you know, didn't really have a place for it. So I was happy to finally be able to go back to the

the use of guns in this game, if that counts. Oh yeah, that counts for sure. And, I'd like craftyose to get this, this game. This was not really craftyote's not not yet crafty did not yet so, zombie's cyber can be able to be

zombie, and then, they're doing, and can be able to and, this kind of, this is a good, uh,

this system, Bustars, name, Another thing is something I've been wanting to do for a while, he says, is the crafting element. He says, I've been wanting to do a craft, some kind of crafting element in one of my games for a while, but haven't got the chance. We finally have it here. It's basically zombie farming. Yeah.

The zombies that you can farm and sort of craft, they're called the bastards. And you basically, you grow them, you harvest them. You harvest them and you equip them as various types of skills that Romeo can use in battle. Nice. Love that. Yo, this shit's awesome. This is fucking awesome. The motion on them too is really cool.

Whoa, wow, wow. NWO. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Do you still watch wrestling? Nowadays? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

He's like old proreses just like old proxed by the Twitter X day. Recently, he says I've just been watching like old school matches on like Twitter and stuff but not like actually recent

Reclear Harley Rice Oh yeah Yeah Yeah, suit it! Okay Oh somebody ordered a beer for me just now so if I can get that

anytime Do you want an IPA or do you want something lighter? Uh IPA is something lighter? Cool Greg! Thanks for that one, Nitrid Mustard appreciate it. Jesus.

Well, Slyde. Yeah, there you know. Jesus. What goes into designing Romeo's character? You know, I feel like a lot of your games are known for those iconic main characters, especially somebody like Travis Touchdown. But when you're creating a new character like Romeo, how do you think about designing a character that's going to resonate with players? Like this, like this, like, this kind of,

like, how you character, how do you, how do you, how do you do, like, so you're, like, like, so, right, right, right,

so, and, like, like, like, like, every day, like Monday.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like, like,

yeah, how, yeah, I'm, , Normal to, with the design with with you know, and take some time,

and re-take and write, and then, this Romio was kind of, really, really, both of the two of the nice,

so, one of our veteran artists, a guy named Tadeyuki Nomaru, he, uh, he's really great at character design and constant art and stuff. And he says, basically for Romeo, and with a lot of our characters,

I work with him when we go back in the forest, okay, I want to him, like this kind of element and this kind of vibe and something like this and he'll draw something I'm feel like what do you think about that and we'll decide okay maybe let's tweak this this way and just kind of going back and forth with the guy and yeah we thank you Barrett oh shit yeah you asked me delivered we're not your average video game commentary company also so he doesn't get one huh He's upset down.

So, stick, push, and he can, just get against the stick. If you hold the stick down, you can run too. Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah. Nice, nice. Game, um, you're good at games. You're good at games. Yeah, don't, you know, you all see I'm about to die somewhere here.

This, this, okay. This is this the first time you've actually played this game? Yeah, this is the first time? I wanted to hold off until release. Really? Really? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Um-huh. I'm trying to gameer 2015, too. I'm a gamer 2015, dude. I was the game rate. I was the first, the first one, he died about 10 times.

I? Yeah. So, yeah. Oh, Tzuza, was. So, so, so. Oh. He says, the first time I played this boss

when I was debugging the game, I died like 10 times. What's up with you man? Well, you're definitely to see me die once at least. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, there we go. Oh, thank you. That's weird.

Oh, yes. Cheers. Go, go, go, run, run, run to you! Oh, no, no, no. You might want to use bloody summer on the dude. Oh, I was wondering if I had to get him down first. Oh, that's like you. Oh, I think you get a melee.

Oh, nice, nice, nice. He got me, oh, you got me. Hey, run it back. Run it back. We got this now. I thought I would have had some health. I didn't realize I was empty on my health. Oh, here we go. So we, well, we needed to see that for the demo.

We need to see that for the demo. What? What? Oh, nice. Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. This scene was actually, actually, actually,

that's the scene with the Raiders' ass base melting thing that was actually done with practical effects.

We actually shot that. Wow. That's cool. And this game, one's just just a from game is a game

that's one case save or if one, like, take set, and set up set up.

We actually did rip off from, sorry, we're influenced by from software. It's when you save, all the dudes that you just took out respawn. Nice. Which depending on how you look at it or I can be off the car, piss you off. Yeah, I imagine that helps for if you just wanted to farm resources by killing guys and then upgrade for the boss. I imagine that helps for him if you wanted to farm resources if you're stuck on a boss or something. Yeah, yeah. But, that's kind of so you're sort of,

like, you know, like, sozoos to make, like, yeah, yeah, so. That's exactly what it was for. Gotcha. I think he's probably a sand that because we brought it up, but let's say this. Let's say this. One more, let's chance. This is it. This is the shot. We got it.

Um, we got one, uh, uh, for a friend. Uh, we got one, uh, uh, uh, for it. from Meg Anair, who's watching Life, who says, earlier Suda discussed a few ideas for an unconventionally peaceful grasshopper game. I just want to point out, Frog Minutes is the world's best casual game. Oh, what is Frog Minutes? I think. That's how, you know, like,

to kill or not, like, do you. Okay. Okay. That program game is the world-eat-been-fueled Yeah, it's a game that's gonna. Wow, wow,

there's still people who are there. Yeah, this, how you know, this is, this is Apple's apply, it's only made it, that's really, that, this,

the world's the place, the world, He's just a... ...aimaheuvre... ...degrae... ...that's really... ...it's a game that...

...he says it's a game we made way back in the day for Apple. It was a mobile game. And you basically collect frogs in this really super beautiful, peaceful place. It's like the most beautiful, peaceful place on Earth. And you're playing with frogs. with frogs. Honestly, that's pretty much the game, but uh... Alright. It's a... I got a lookup footage.

I still got a couple uh... still got a couple fans out there. Ah! Are we... Too long, I went to him! Yeah, unfortunately it's not uh... officially downloadable anymore. Yeah, it's not, uh... I guess you could say it's not on the Apple Store anymore. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Oh, good kind of. This is there, there's a... A, a key key on the... A, jukech on the o'erick on the... ...augh-uzee on a... ...culecoulde, oh, oh, oh, oh, that's why you've got a... ...celsels one... ...you use a...

...you can use a... ...a capsule to rea... Oh, I'm away. I'm saved it before, so I don't want to waste it. I came in with no capsules... Ah, I... Oh! You made the game, I'll take it from here, all right.

I know what I'm doing. I like this question from Openus, who's watching live. If there was an anime studio that could take one of his IP and make it into an anime, what studio and IP would you choose? And why is it studio trigger? If you, if one of an anime studio, if you know, if you're doing it,

if you're doing it, run! Stop reloading it, run! What do you want? And then, and then, why the studio Trigger of you're

Yeah, Trier that's the right? Yeah, Yeah, that's Yeah.

But, that's the coming Kame Katsi Doga to with Gondam to make together, you know, I said,

I've actually made a promise with the studios that did a lot of the animation for this game. Okay. If I'm gonna make an anime game, it's gonna be Gundam and we're gonna make it together. Nice. So, I mean...

Yeah, that makes sense. There's a lot of guns. See how that works out. No More Heroes, too, had like big Gundam fights in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you get it. Oh. Oh.

There it is. We got there. Nice, nice, nice. They call me Greg two attempts. That's all I need. Just two attempts. You try Greg. Collars they called me two-pump chump, but that's a story for another time.

That's almost going to bring us to a close, but I do want you to see the next portion of it. Okay, okay. I almost fell in love. You're a sucker for pretty girls. Get in your blood? Hey, grandpa. So this monster's also Juliet. What the hell is going on?

This is probably some kind of fake. So transformed? Or? It could be a failed clone. We'll look into it back on the ship. This is Kimberly. Singularity disappearance confirmed. Begin recovery operations.

Wilco. Metal Ifi, who writes in, wants to know, is this in the same universe, is any of your other games? Is there a pseudiverse? Oh, oh. Oh. Oh. So, so, so the other games,

is the universe, it's a sort of existence. Yeah. Yeah, Suther Barth is, there's some sort of there's been, um, this time of the character has been

some of the character that's the whole thing, so it's so much so it's not so much uh, yeah,

he says apparently, uh, mostly based on what the fans say, you know, uh, there is a pseudiverse that exists. All right.

And, um, but real talk, uh, there are a handful of, uh, characters from previous games that make an appearance in this game. for various reasons and in different contexts.

So, that's something to look out for. I just want to watch out for. And Skywrights, it just says, how's this game so cool? This game's so cool. Oh. Why this game was like so cool-y-do-do-do-do-do-do?

Wow, thank you. Really? I'm he's really happy to hear that. Thanks a lot. I'm really soke-key-making so, I'm really working our asses off making this game, so... It shows.

super happy to do that. It's really cool. There have been multiple people that have been asking, how long is the game? Oh, what kind of can be? This is, what? This is, about, about, nice. Like, about, about 10 or just about,

10 or 15 to go out, to be able to be. Um, if you get pretty good at it, if you're used to games, You could probably get it done in maybe like 10 or so hours. On average, depending on, you know, how full on you play it or how quickly you get through it, how good you are. Somewhere between 10 to 15 hours on average.

Okay, nice. This song, the Japanese band, of the band, with this new song, with this new song, we're doing. This band, this song here, So this song here, this is an original song that we had a band called Luby Sparks Do For Us. Judd Nelson? Yeah, we got Ted Nelson.

What? Who's John Nelson in the game? I saw the list of, you know, the voice actor auditions. Yeah. I'm like, I don't need to hear the files. Yeah, yeah. Put this guy in the game. Trust me on this.

That's the only American in the studio. I don't know what I'm talking about. But you walked out, just hand up. You get him. He's like, oh, so he really is popular. I told you, dude. Sky in the chat, Judd fucking Nelson! That's right.

So as far as I'm concerned, we got Judd fucking Nelson and Larry fucking Cedar, and I was just for Stoke-Go-up. There you go. Also, what an opening credit sequence. Oh, opening of credit road and so very cool.

Thank you. This also also in our other other really sense in. This is

our video director Araki made this he's got some pretty good sense for this kind of

shit. Oh man I love how weird you are I love it God these are games of style

I like why don't know why don't know I like a nice. Yeah. Come on. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, I see one to stick around for it. That was great. Yeah. I still want to stick around for just the very, like the start of this next part. And I love how weird this is. Yeah. It looks like the old ones where he'd be like, MTV, video premiere.

Apart from the typography, that was also... That is justice without her sword in her head. That's you. Yeah, bud. It's embarrassing and shit, but that that is... me quoting Oscar Wilde at the beginning of every chapter. Flashing FBI in the side. Oh my god, Suda.

So this is your hub area that you come back to you after mission. Oh my god, Suella. Yeah, can you talk about how you landed on this, I guess this segment, right? Like this pixel art style for the hub area? Um, here, this, you're like, you're a hub area. Why why this pixel out to do you want to do? I'm really. Can I be real here for a second, he says?

Yeah. Kind of Family, because, I'm not. This is 3K.00k. But, you know, but it's not so, this one-one-the-heartri-san, Hattory Grazs'an, and he's all right,

and he's all right, and the $3-0. So, $3-0. what's so? Actually, to be honest, the parts that took place inside the ship, like the other parts are now on, you know, pixel art, they cost something like altogether like, something like, something like, I guess around $3 million. Oh, wow.

Maybe $2,000, $3 million. And we were like, yeah, no. We're good on that. We're not doing that. We have the rest of a game to make, and we like feeding our kids and stuff. We talked to a guy named Hattori of Hattori graphics, who's really good at this kind of pixel stuff.

And he basically got the whole thing done for us for like... What do you? For about, like, $300,000. For about like... a tenth of how much it would cost and it came out like it so it was perfect it looks cool we were able to save time and money and um my kids can still go to school and where this is kind of an upgrade menu right yeah yeah yeah you press r2 it'll accelerate you yeah so yeah so status uh hearted day

You know, level up or a gun or a gun or something. It's a foot of so it's

a lot of no, no, no. You should go that way so that's a waste. So what I'm trying to match up the amount

the same thing? So, you kind of I'm just don't know how I put this You're fucking tough guy,

you play the guy. You're sure what you want to do. You grab my man to the max. You grab this shit

the power of different shape. That's what he's saying. Okay, or maybe, sorry. Oh, yeah, look, it's really easy, huh? Then go this way. And go this way. You want to match, will you pick up?

Ha ha ha ha. Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong, right? But if you... Like, going over a sword, upgrade my, like, sword. Yeah, your melee. Yeah, mellarer. So, so, so.

So, so. So, I'm just gonna... ...knowing to, ...nowing to... Okay, I'm just gonna... Okay, yeah, I'm just gonna... Okay, see? ...and we come out of it, that's what your stats are.

Okay, and then, you can, like... After this, if I keep playing, I can come back and, like, rewind and redo it, right? Yeah, I believe it. Yeah, yeah, it's... Yeah, when you build enough power to do it... Oh, yeah, then you... Oh, okay, yeah. Looks like you can do it again.

Oh, or not then, let's go. Oh, yeah, no, I can, like, go back and, yeah, read it. This is, like, yeah, re-chre-mark- ... ... Oh, okay, sorry. You said, if you go back to the place with the exclamation mark, then you'll go on to the next, uh...

Oh, I see. There's like a new thing you can do with this. Oh, my, mother. That's, uh, mimi-mio's mom. Oh, yeah. Definitely not ripped up. from a relatively well-known comedic actors. Hey, Romeo.

But you can't sue, it's not that close. Catchy Curry? Can you tell us a bit about the amount of things that you can do in this spaceship area? Well, in the other things, there are more... So, yes, there's. What about? What about? What about?

Let's what's status, or the weapon of power-up here is, here here. And, my mom's, Karee Karee is Karee is a buff

so so all the kind of and make kreel there's lots of stuff you can do

here one of them is what you're doing exactly right now you go to his mom and she makes curry for you

No not that really much this is actually pretty hard so don't feel that but

the mom makes curry for you and depending on how well the curry is fried what you put in the stuff, it acts as different kinds of buffs for the robot. Nice.

And then, so, so, go to, okay, okay, here, okay, here, and here, this is Romeo's little sister, Luna. And this is Romeo's little sister Luna. And this is, here, this is where you can do the crafty-orfering stuff. And this is where you can do the crafting stuff, harvesting zombies, well technically,

bastard harvesting yeah yeah yeah and then zombie they're there's

seed there's there so they're on the so they're on the the

the family zombie is a that's kind of that craft use

when you take out a zombie one of the the bad guys sometimes they'll drop like a seed

and you can pick those seeds up and bring them to Luna and she can like check them out and tell you

know how rare they are how good they are and yeah you use them to plant the... ...more one more too. You're using to plant the bastards here and then come back later.

That's not, that one or one. I think that's the tutorial, it's only one at a time. Uh, tutorial, so... Okay, and this... Okay, and this... ...it, this... ...how their own game works. Yeah, come on.

Game devs are right. So, yeah, so... What the hell? What the hell? What the hell? Yeah. There we go. Yeah.

Now you can bust that out. in combat. Oh, you also name it here. Particular about tools, Jeffrey. Grew of well. Yeah. That's also, that also varies from bastard to bastard too. So it's grew up well or has bad manners or all kinds of random-ass descriptions.

Awesome. Well, I just wanted to hop into this area. Thank God. For a little bit because as soon as I got to this hub area in my playthier, I was like, oh, this is awesome. Like, I absolutely adore how you guys went about all this. But I think we're out of time there. So thank you guys so much for joining us once again for this episode of Gamescast plays. Again, if you're watching, if you're listening,

what should people know about Romeo is a dead man? Why should people buy the game just February 11th coming out? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. First, just time in, sorry. Oh, sorry. Uh, sorry, for a lot of, any, for a lot of me for a lot of me and say to putt for,

that, uh, many, like, uh, buy them The Dead Man you know,

if the Red Soap man, yeah, really good, so much really, uh, really,

uh, really, uh, Cuyardt Fulie's fans of people, definitely,

uh, kind of game, uh, so he says, uh, well,

for all the fans out there, uh, if you guys really care about grasshopper and video games in general,

um, if you buy this game, since we're self-publishing it, we'll make a shitload of money off it. So please make sure you buy as many copies as you can. And if you're a fan of kind of funny, then you're definitely going to like this game. And if not, then I believe dude said that they were offering complete...

Dude didn't say anything about the refunds. I don't know with this. Nope, nope, nope, nope. It'll be out of Greg's pocket. No, I didn't say that. They can happen. We're going back to Japan tomorrow. I'll try to sue us.

If PlayStation 5 and then Xbox and then Steam by it's I'm not this way

if you buy the PS5 version and then you buy the Xbox version and then you buy the Steam version you can have

three fucking versions of the game like you know you can't beat that deal right a lot of people in the chat were calling for that fourth version

the switch version that's the fourth that could be a fourth one yeah that could be a fourth one. When you get back to Japan, hit the port button.

Have it ready for February 11th. It'll be great. Well, in Japan, more than, the next to the next to the next to the next to end up to meet up. But, but, really, switch two are now, now, just wait for now, just wait for sure to do this, we're going to be able to, we're going to make. But honestly, though, we are trying.

We're doing what we can to get a Switch 2 version. out there, get the package version out there and everything. We can't promise any dates or timelines or anything yet, but we really are doing what we can to get this done. So, uh, please wait for it. Please wait for the, you know, wait for the switch and possible a version. But at the same time, absolutely don't wait and buy it right away. We need the money. This, um, this one version, actually, sort of, just are sort of, just a different,

uh, bug's not quite kind of different, so. So, so, so bug-fork so if people, so that Romiza Deadman X to

if a bug got out of if they're going to get to be PS5 of PS5 of the Xbox

and Xbox and Xbox and Xbox bug and X XM Shill of bug so

let's be all like like this can't like

this I'm gonna I'm gonna try to localize this I guess because

it's gonna make it sound like the game is buggy as fuck it's not but one reason

that we'd like you all to buy multiple versions is to help us give you the best gaming experience possible because each version has its own different bugs sometimes like the PS5 version has its own bugs the Xbox versions have their bugs

the Steam versions have their bugs few and far between almost no bugs totally not a buggy game at all sure but if yeah the more people The more people we get playing the more versions, the more bug reports we can get, and the more we can fix those bugs.

So, again, try to buy as many versions as you can. Help everybody out. And report the shit out of those bugs. You might even want to buy the same version like two or three times unless you want to clear it like... That's a great point. I like that. I like that.

I like that. I like that. I just, maybe make you know, yeah, but then, yeah, game, it's back on the bag of the job. So, just to make this clear, we, uh, we did properly debug the game.

We paid good money to have the game to be bug. Time to walk back your own joke. Walk back your own joke. VGC's already writing the article right now. But I mean, you know. Bugs happen. Also, he's had a whole half beer, and so he's getting kind of shit for it.

He can't be held liable for what happened here. I remember being 11 years old, too. Again, Sudda 51. Thank you so much for joining me, James. Also, thank you so much for joining us as well in helping us, man. Thanks for much. Yes, of course, this has been
