NAMCO HIGH COMBINES CHARACTERS INTO DATING DILEMMA
The term “dating simulator” often carries unflattering assumptions, if not pointed disdain from critics—critics other than myself, that is, since I'm always objective. Shiftylook's free browser-based Namco High, however, is not the typical dating simulator in purpose or appearances. In place of the typical gamut of coquettish schoolgirls and dashing upperclassmen, there is a lineup of familiar faces from Namco games, starting with the Galaga ship.

Others announced so far include a gloomy version of Lolo from the Klonoa games, an alarmingly upbeat version of the eponymous heroine from the Valkyrie action-RPGs, a Meowkie from the Mappy series, and, as the government-mandated bad boy of the game, Anti-Bravoman. The player controls a cousin of the Katamari Damacy protagonist, freshly transferred to Namco High. The resulting romantic entanglements and drama (including a rival school called Evil Namco High) are overseen by creative director Andrew Hussie, the man behind the voluminous and highly popular Homestuck webcom…er, multimedia endea…uh, whatever Homestuck is. It's a bit of able bet-hedging on Shiftylook's part, as Hussie's involvement guarantees the attention of Homestick's fan legions, and possibly even some cameos by its characters.

Hussie isn't the only webcomic talent involved, as the writing staff includes Ananth Panagariya, Magnolia Porter, and Brian Clevinger. The artists span a similar array, including some of the illustrators from ShiftyLook's own webcomics and animated series. Shiftylook's made a name by revamping classic Namco arcade stars for the modern era, and Namco High might be their most inventive creation yet. It's apparently headed for release just before the holiday shopping season, which could mean as early as next week.

Welcome Mat
I'm honestly really looking forward to this project just because of the people involved with it... not so much Hussie (I've never gotten into Homestuck), but Ananth and Brian are fantastic writers I've been following for ages, and there's a ton of great artists on board as well.


((Er, hi everyone, I don't think I've posted here in several years. And who knows if I will again. But I keep up with the twitter feed at least!))

That makes me think that YOU isn't really a trouble maker, but someone that is merely found in the wrong place at the wrong time.
