Time and Eternity from Namco Bandai and developed by Imageepoch is using hand drawn character animations in a 3D space.
Gary Green said: Imageepoch Inc. was a game developer based in Tokyo, Japan. It was owned by esteemed JRPG mastermind Ryoei Mikage and founded on June 9th, 2005. Other key personnel are Senior Director Kazuya Niinou and Director Hiroyuki Kanemaru. As of January 2009, the studio had over 120 employees.
Mikage would gain fame in the industry for his passion for grand stories and quirky characters. His earlier work on the production of Grandia III and Beat Down for the PlayStation 2 would bring many supporters to his cause. Running his own studio would allow the eccentric Mikage to be more experimental with his own unique twists on the JRPG genre.
The studio would develop exclusively for the Nintendo DS before alternating games with PlayStation Portable releases, plus others in the following years. Their first release was the Nintendo DS tactical role-playing game, Luminous Arc, which blossomed into a reasonably well-received property for Imageepoch.
Immersed Gamer writes: "Let Me Solo Her is a legendary Elden Ring player who mastered one of the most infamous bosses to help his fellow tarnished via co-op. And for his service, he received an award from Namco Bandai to commemorate his 1,000th victory. The reward in question is a real, and extremely dope, custom-made sword.
Malenia is regarded as the hardest boss in Elden Ring, and the relentless Tarnished has defended literally thousands of hosts against this malice. Let Me Solo Her apparently passed 2,000 Malenia kills a while back, but it’s hard to measure the exact count he is at now. Bandai Namco sent the gift his way when he was at around 1,000 kills. But due to the nature of the object, it got stuck in customs for a while!"
Nice to see an healthy online behavior to be recognize by the dev teams.
But man.... How many hours did he spent playing Elden Ring? Not sure it's that healthy in real life 😂
But still kuddo to him :)
Laced Records has teamed up with Bandai Namco for the release of a triple vinyl-set featuring music from retro-classics Tekken Tag Tournament & Tekken 4.
TTT is one of my all time favorite games, but I always found its soundtrack to be terrible. I'd mute the music and put my own on.
