I mean that's a pretty big plus already, but it's also fun to play and the romance stuff is completely optional which is pleasing to my cold unloving android heart.. I'll admit at times some of the writing (especially for humor options) could be a bit cringe, but overall it was a fun experience, and I believe in the dev team enough to show my support with my wallet. I rate this game one high score obsessed husbando out of the precious time I have on this earth.. Not much of a reviewer on Steam (or in general), but I felt passionate enough about this game to take a shot at it.I played this game on a whim, looking for romance VNs with LGBT characters and options. And, honestly? This is probably my favorite one so far. It's not by any means perfect, of course, but I literally pulled an all-nighter the same day I bought it to finish one playthrough, and I'm plenty motivated to play more. I've never been an achievement hunter, so doing multiple routes when I've already picked a favorite has never been very favorable for me; why romance the other characters when I found my favorite? With Arcade Spirits, though, I'm thinking twice on my original standpoint of that principle. I think the characters are pretty well-written, and I'd love to do other playthroughs with the rest of the cast. Each one has a really compelling story to them, and I find depth in even the ones I had initially written off as being more two-dimensional than others. There's something for everyone. Plus, all of them are hot in their own way. You can never go wrong with a dad bod, fight me on that.I think a strong point to this story is how heartfelt is all is. You're in a rut, down on your luck, thinking you're doomed to a vicious cycle of your hopes and dreams being crushed over and over, no matter how hard you try. (Okay, so you nailed my personal life right on the head. Well played.) You're given options to jump into the unknown and take risks that can just as easily lift your spirits as they can crush them, all the while having a small band of friends behind you every step of the way. Call me sentimental, but I found a personal reassurance behind that. And with each connection I made to a character, the more invested I became in their happiness and well-being. Misty eyes were had many a time.... Okay fine, I may have full-blown cried too. Don't @ me.The art itself is a really cute style, and the preview images alone are what drew my attention. Some pictures with major and minor characters side by side make the lack of detail in the minor characters a bit more jarring and obvious, but that's just a small complaint. The player especially has little choice in the matter, considering the customization options and what tweaks you'd have to do for lighting and shading in the individual scenarios. Still, I found some pictures a bit awkward in having a base colored character next to a fully-detailed one with shining hair and dynamic shadows.Tying in opportunity with risk, happiness with sadness, and comedy with seriousness, Arcade Spirits is one heck of a roller coaster. So strap in, everyone, and enjoy the ride. I couldn't recommend this game more if I tried. I rate it 5 socially awkward, dorky technician cuties out of 5.. Reviews aren't usually my thing so bare with me on this.This game is heart warmingly sweet and was the best pick-me-up after a long tough week. I have only romanced one character, Percy, and just his track alone was great, but the main character really sold it for me. Every one can probably relate to this MC and they really made the game far more investing. I can't wait to start a new game and try a new route with a new romance.. This game was so much fun.I ran into it via LRR's YouTube page back when Graham Stark was talking about his voice acting role and I was immediately intrigued by the fun, flavourful art style and the highly entertaining snippets of writing I saw. Having now played it, this is very high up my list of favourite dating sims, probably a close second after Dream Daddy.Super LGBT friendly, with an entertaining plot, great character customisation and a lovely cast of endearing characters. If you like inclusive, story-driven romance in your games, Arcade Spirits is more than worth a shot - you owe it to yourself to give it a try.I've played through start to finish once, in about 6 hours I guess, but I'm already into a second playthrough and enjoying it immensely. What an excellent and endearing game.. Unlike Japanese visual novels, the content won't make you feel like you're going to be put on a watchlist for sex offenders. I mean that's a pretty big plus already, but it's also fun to play and the romance stuff is completely optional which is pleasing to my cold unloving android heart. Freshly Canned Laughter: Welcome to the Arcade Spirits developer blog. Each week I post an in-depth look at some aspect of the game, or of arcade culture in general. Today, let's talk about one of the slightly more obscure influences behind Arcade Spirits -- the classic 1980s workplace sitcom.As a kid, I grew up enmeshed in the world of the 80s / early 90s sitcom. Night Court, Cheers, Wings, things like that. "Must See TV." I wasn't really that interested in the standard family-based ones, though -- no Steve Urkel for me. I like workplace sitcoms. There's two key aspects to these, a sense of place, and a sense of belonging.The place is obvious: wherever everybody works. An office, a bar, a courtroom, an airport, a diner, something like that. The locale is the same every week, and you get a feel for the flow of rooms and hallways, the background details baked in which make it feel unique and lived-in. Sometimes they're populated by extras moving around in the background, going about their lives... customers, usually. It feels like a living, breathing location and not just a sterile living room or something. This is where you come back to when you want to be somewhere familiar. But it's not a home, some generic suburban house; it's got a flow and a purpose directed towards whatever the business is.When you're there, you belong there. You're family, without actually being family. The television family consists of the friends who you're close to, the ones you're emotionally tied to, working arm in arm towards a common goal or just choosing to spend time together. There's no typical drama from being stuck alongside a parent or sibling you hate because these are the people you've selected to be your family, rather than a coincidence of birth. (Shows where the family hates each other 90% of the time and all the drama arises from that are pretty much the opposite of what I want.)I wanted those two things for Arcade Spirits -- a sense of place, and a sense of belonging. The Funplex becomes familiar to you, and your character grows to consider it something of a home. The staff and the regulars are more than just co-workers and customers, they're your friends, your family. Even the ones you aren't actively trying to romance are close companions, willing to help you and you them. There are conflicts along the way, bumps in the road, but you work through them because keeping the family together and keeping the home intact is important.The story is even divided up like television episodes, with each contained story being its own "Level" of the game. Unlike an 80s sitcom, though, they feed into each other serially, gradually developing character arcs and plots rather than being standalone piles of gags.Overall, I want the world of Arcade Spirits to be something you want to come back to not just to laser-focus in on your romantic target and woo them, but to be because it's a place you want to live in for a time. Familiar, friendly, warm, and inviting. And when the credits finally do roll, I want that time looked back on fondly. I hope I can provide the same feeling I had watching these sitcoms to you as a gamer.. Streetlight People / Headlines From 20XX: Apologies, forgot to upload last week's dev blog -- and it was a doozy, so let's make sure we don't pass it completely! I'll roll last week and this week into one post.Today we're talking about the new animated backgrounds we're adding, one of which you can see in our updated demo. Nearly every single background in the game is animated, adding lighting effects and other subtle animation cues. Little things that bring the otherwise static images to life.Today, let’s go over three scenes, and how they’ll be different under the new animation. First, we’ll look at the Funplex.The Funplex has three main effects going on. The first, and most commonly used across all the revamped backgrounds, are glowing elements glowing brighter than before, with the extra glow fading in and out softly. It’s almost impossible to see unless you’re looking for it, but adds some life to the scene. next, the prize game at the bottom left has a shifting color scheme, to reflect the lights inside the game changing colors. Finally, there’s a simple animation of the UFO Catcher crane lowering and raising.Next let’s go to Flotsam Beach, home of the Obligatory Beach Episode Where Everybody Wears Sexy Swimsuits.The streetlights (in the niiiiiiiight) pulse, in a bit more obvious a fashion as this is an old Mid-Atlantic beach town under disrepair. Similarly, some of the tube lights in the arcade will flicker, showing the double tube bulbs before turning back on full strength. I considered a cloud animation, since the clouds animate during the daytime scene, but figured the lighting was more important.Finally, let’s look at a scene from later in the game, which I won’t spoil beyond showing you this vague imae of a run-down arcade...Lots of stuff going on here — glitched out game screens, pulsating neon lights, error codes, and more. It’s a flashier scene, to be sure.“But wait!” you might say, as I’m pouring the gasoline and getting the match ready. “What if I don’t want to be distracted by fancy background effects? Also, put down the matches, please.”Not a problem! We've revamped the Preferences menu. Not only did we improve the ‘Style’ option to show you what each of our three UI styles looks like, but we added an option for the background animations. It defaults to Slow, which should provide ambiance without being distracting — but you can turn them Off completely, or even make them Faster if you want something flashy and fun! It’s up to you.As we finish up the story and start polishing up the game, we’ll have more new features to show you — including a pretty big one which we’re not ready to talk about yet. Let’s just say there’s a reason I had to crop down the Preferences screen…Okay, with the technical stuff aside, let's do some goofy shenanigans next.I like world building. Hey, who doesn't? And frankly I've been wanting to do more world building for 20XX, the timeline in which Arcade Spirits takes place, where the video game crash of 1983 never happened. How are things different? How are things the same? Let's find out.Not sure if these are canon or not -- we'll know if we end up selling so well that a sequel becomes a good idea. So hey, if you want more... y'all know what to do. Spread the word!Introducing THE (entirely fictional) 20XX TIMES, an (entirely fictional) Newspaper From The Year 20XX.--- President Mitchell Embroiled In New Emulation Controversy – Tweets Focus on "No Hot Sauce Collusion"New allegations have risen regarding President Billy Mitchell's most recent high score submission to Twin Galaxies for Donkey Kong. Independent investigators have verified that his video evidence was created using MAME emulation, thus negating his score.When pressed for a comment, President Mitchell instead focused on another scandal facing the White House, concerning illegal campaign contributions made by a hot sauce manufacturer from Georgia. Sources say that he was encouraged to divest his own hot sauce company prior to election as President in exchange for a sizable campaign contribution, filtered through numerous individuals.Twin Galaxies has struck President Mitchell's score from the record books pending a complete investigation. The White House has issued no comment, although press secretary Roy Shildt stated that President Mitchell remains adamant that any reports of falsified scores are “fake news” from “dishonest scoreboards.”--- Nintendo to Announce the Nintendo PlayStation-U Pro, With Features Similar to Atari XLXSources close to Sony of Japan say that an announcement is just around the corner regarding a new release of the Nintendo PlayStation-U, dubbed the “PlayStation-U Pro,” which will have both advanced 3-D capabilities and better support for consumer-grade CRT televisions for full backwards compatibility with classic titles.Critics have long lambasted Nintendo for having a distinct lack of backwards compatibility with still-hot retro titles and eSports standards, forcing players to re-purchase barely upgraded remasters of classic titles if they wanted to move forward to the next iteration of Nintendo hardware. Meanwhile, their primary competitors in Atari and Sega have maintained twenty-plus years of backwards compatibility, able to read and play any discs from earlier consoles through embedded hardware or emulation.“Nintendo thinks they deserve the attention of gamers, just because they beat everyone to optical media back in the 90s,” an alleged source within Atari posted on Facewall today. “And don't get me wrong, the Nintendo-Sony partnership really moved the whole industry forward. But they did so at the expense of supporting home ports of arcade classics. Atari believes in game preservation, and will always maintain full backwards compatibility.”While many game developers have pushed for adoption of HDTV for higher resolutions and crisper images, a counterpush by gamers for CRT support in order to properly display older titles was embraced two generations ago by Atari and Sega, resulting in the multi-monitor setups common today.--- Exidy Partners with Gottleib For New “Indiecading” PushWith the rising trend of bespoke arcade games crafted by independent video game developers, it was only a matter of time before one of the big names sat up and took notice. In this case, two mid-tier players in the arcade scene are teaming up to scoop up the rights to mass-distribute several indie titles, under the “Indiecading” name.”“Exidy has always pushed forward with innovative new gaming experiences,” explained CEO Paula Westenbach. “Together with Gottleib, we believe we can get a wider exposure for these great titles. No longer will you have to go to a smaller arcade to enjoy these amazing games – we'll be in Deco's Palace, DisneyQuest, and several other major chain arcades.”Exidy-Gottleib are currently in negotiations for the rights to Magical Moon Cuties, the hottest independent title on the scene. If all goes well, we can expect to see this game in an arcade near you within the next fiscal quarter.--- OpEd: MicroPlay To Unveil Revolutionary New Ultra-Responsive Arcade Joystick; Snake Oil or The Next Big Thing?Here we go again, folks – another company claiming to have the next big thing in arcade hardware. MicroPlay, a recently formed mash-up of the decaying corpses of FunWare and Sinneslöschen, have announced their first commercial product, a new “psi-responsive” joystick.According to Cooper Technologies, the parent company which bought out what was left of those two once-slightly-better-than-mediocre companies, this new joystick will “use bio-electric feedback to read the user's intentions, providing unparalleled responsiveness in arcade gaming.” So basically it reads your mind. Through your hand. Meaning... why tap the joystick at all, if it's just going to predict what you want to do based on your thoughts?Yyyeah, I'm thinking this is yet another flop from Cooper Technologies. From my research, only ONE tech initiative of theirs has gotten past the investment stage – remember the Phantom Console, which ended up basically being a phantom? That was them. They also had a large market share in the technology behind the Nintendo 32x, that abysmal add-on. About the only thing they've ever done which went anywhere was “Iris,” a dime-a-dozen virtual assistant with extremely limited capabilities and a heavy-handed sponsorship by PizzaYums. But hey, she's cute, and people like cute apps, so...I've said it before, and I'll say it again – arcades are driven by highly short-lived gimmicks, but ultimately are ruled by classic titles that bring people back time and again. All sorts of gimmicks have come and gone, including force feedback, and virtual reality. (Although recent moves by the Oculus-Ouya partnership suggest they may be taking a run at that cheeseball 90s helmet-and-gloves idea again.) So I wouldn't expect much of anything from these supposed telepathic joysticks.Besides, with Fist of Discomfort expected to move on to optional USB controllers with its forthcoming iteration, who really needs built-in control innovation? Just bring your favorite input device to your local arcade, and ha. Arcade Spirits v1.04: This version of Arcade spirits introduces a few fixes and enhancements...

Not much to report, since we wrapped up the game and are just waiting for the release. But we're not TOTALLY resting on our hopefully-arriving-in-the-future laurels. Let's recap and discuss the doings and goings on.Pre-orders are up, as indicated in this handy chart[stefangagne.com]. My recommendation is itch.io, which has both the normal game and soundtrack+artbook bundle at a discount, and gets you both a direct download and a Steam key. If you don't wanna pre-order, that's cool, we'll be having an identical launch week discount on Steam itself.Aenne (co-author), Steph (Iris's voice actor), Molly (character artist) and special guest Jacob (voice director) are all going to be at PAX South 2019 this coming weekend! We're going to have our most elaborate booth to date, with comfy seating and a fun environment. We'll have shirts and actual pre-order game codes on sale there, so drop on by to play the demo, chat with the devs, and have a grand 'ol time. We'll also be participating in the Houston Gaymers pre-show party Friday at 8pm.Press will be getting their hands on review codes and working to get you advance notice of how amazingly awesome our game is (hopefully) towards the end of this month. If you're press and want to get in on the fun contact pr@pqube.com for more information.And finally... Feb 12, we release. And then we wait and see.Because if we're a success, if we can break even and then some... I've got biiiig plans for an Arcade Spirits II. Since I've got an unexpected and unwelcome surplus of time on my hands I've been doing preproduction work on it, in hopes that we take off like a rocket and the project is greenlit. So tell your friends, tell your enemies, and thank you for your support!
