Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Napple Tale was a game on the Dreamcast, now pretty much only playable via emulator.

It has a cutesy, robo-candy aesthetic, filled with bright, cheery colors, and dancy animation.

It is also a game for which the primary theme is 'coming to terms with the fact that time takes everything from us: family, friends, joyful times, and eventually even life itself.'

It is also soundtracked by Yoko Kanno (the woman behind the soundtracks for Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and Wolf's Rain) and is voiced by Maaya Sakamoto. (If you are an old anime fan, you've pretty much definitely heard her voice, even if you don't know the name. She's the original and later Motoko Kusanagi.)

It's like it was written by Mary Shelley and then handed off to someone who had only worked on megaman and barbie games to do the visuals. Wild stuff.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! The game itself seems to have been beautifully made, and the narrator was engaging while not distracting from the content.

Make sure to check out EarlyBird's other videos - she makes some great stuff.

Came across her because of napple time. Her videos are fantastic! And kinda depressing.
