PLECTRUM SOFT | Wishlist PROJECT MIX on Steam!

The PROJECT MIX Kickstarter campaign has officially ended! In the end - we reached $189,681, which is slightly short of the next next goal. However, good news - we've enabled late pledges for a week, so there's still a good chance to hit it! I believe we can get Meguro-san on…

The earliest PROJECT MIX demo was so bad it was like injecting wasabi into my eyes, but it was also a crucial part of getting the project to where it is today #indiegame #gamedev

We haven't been showing off work because we're busy writing documentation, compiling moodboards/refs and putting together art guides to make the hiring as smooth as possible. Also doing lots of production planning. Can't wait to build the game content though! #indiegame…

It’s certainly a challenge to find a suitable 3D anime environment artist in the West. Most people are trained in a PBR workflow to be noticed by companies like Ubisoft or EA. If they’re trained in a stylized workflow, it’s usually in the Riot Games style or a Western mobile…

Just released a small update for the PROJECT MIX Demo! We worked on optimization and updating some of the visuals. Patch notes can be found here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/24397… #indiegame #gamedev

We've decided to re-open applications for the 3D Environment Artist role. This is your chance to apply if you haven't! We’re looking for someone with strong experience in creating 3D anime-style art. Ideally, you’re passionate about classic anime like Ghost in the Shell and…

I think with how volatile the VR game industry is, depending on publisher/platform funding means certain death unless you're willing to bend to the trends - which doesn't guarantee success either. You have to be your own marketing force and plan for a no-funding or…

I feel like theres some secret mainstream VR cool kids gang, and you need to be part of their inner circle to get into these showcases. Every time I apply with PROJECT MIX, I get rejected without any explanation. On their website: "We are looking for originality, oddity,…

Starting an indie game studio feels a lot like playing a JRPG.

I feel honored receiving countless messages from people saying that PROJECT MIX inspires them to become VR game developers. With the current state of the market and the general sentiment that making a VR game is a dumb move, I'm glad we're at least one of the few remaining…

Here's some work we've started on that we didn’t have a chance to tackle during demo development: We’ve begun creating stylized NPCs that can be used in the backgrounds to bring more life to the environments. #indiegame #gamedev

After the excitement of the stretch goal being met, let's share something more mundane. We're busy with the admin work that comes with hiring people and having money, and trying to take a step back from the countless months of grind to plan for the future better. Our 3D artist…

いい曲書けそうな気がする、なんてデカいこと言ってしまいました…

The translation from Japanese to English may be a bit scuffed, but this is what Meguro-san has to say about contributing guest compositions for PROJECT MIX! #indiegame #gamedev

While it required late pledges, we’ve just reached the $200K stretch goal! This means Shoji Meguro (@s_megarock ) — the maestro behind the Persona, Catherine, and Shin Megami Tensei soundtracks — is officially confirmed as a guest composer for PROJECT MIX! While the number of…
