※ At the morning meeting…
※ Say, everyone, what do you all do to stay motivated?

※ Drink sake after work!
※ Don’t isolate yourself?
※ Do your best at the thing you’re great at!
※ Talk yourself up!

※ Should we even be relying this much on “motivation” to begin with?
※ Just keep working steadily, day in and day out.
Is that really not enough?

※ Whaa~

※ [First-Time Morning Meeting Participant, Sound Effect Supervisor, Sugiyama-san]
Just find the thing no one else is doing and do that!
Right?

※ Great one!

※ 6PM. Dusk. The witching hour for indie-game-making uncles…

※ Agh! My eyes are so blurry I can’t even read the screen!

※ Ahh! My foot! Why is it cramping up now?!

※ These fingers! They’re cramping up and I keep making typos!

※ What?! I swear I did this already… but it’s not done!

※ My back is killing me!

※ I can’t hold it any more…

※ [Ryo-sama, Technical (Draconian) Artist]

Oh my god, both of you!! I don’t care!! You have to learn Unity!

※ Okkkkk~

Hello everyone.
This is Kimura-san, your indie-videogame-making Uncle.
As you know, I’m currently hard at work developing a new RPG.
As usual, I’ve been very busy.

Today, I’d like to talk about “games, robots, and love”.

At some point in the future, a bipedal humanoid robot and an AI will merge…

Will there be a future where robots who move by their own will, like Osamu Tezuka’s “Astro Boy”, make games together?

Recently, as I chatted with the popular ChatGPT, I was struck by how naturally the conversation flowed.
It seemed to raise the question of what a human being even is.
If humanoid robots as kind-hearted as Astro Boy appeared in the real world and started making videogames, I might start feel many different things.

“Robots are cooler than us!”

“What’s the point of being human?”

Things like that.
