The Abroad in Japan Studio - WE GOT IT! 🥳 | Patreon Exclusive (*Watch Now*)

Comments

I loved the last Journey Across Japan with Joey and Natsuki. It was my favorite one.

I would totally play a journey across Japan game!! But all your friends have to be characters. It would be so fun to go on mini quests for Sharla or Ian.

tootles444

Game: design them cycling like from pokemon would be cool-to remind u of those leg muscles u built over those months; choice of characters would be cool too-unlock playable characters like joey/pete etc

the game should be like a a mario-esk / Temple Run game with power ups like fried chicken. Also I have experience with the Unity (3d game engine) and Blender if any of these game ideas come to fruition.

Game ideas : apple collecting mini game for Aomori, hiroshima- deer feeding game with the sea and Tori gate in background, Nagasaki- boat race in the river under the bridge joey was catwalking

A big green screen would be good in the studio. And it's probably a good thing for your health and sanity that you hired editors to help you with the work. I'm looking forward to the future content

Philippe Gosselin

How about a typical japanese vending machine as decoration or maybe even working. Would look great, you just have to steal one 👀

That's amazing, Chris. Congratulations! Well deserved!

Michael Taylor

First of all, congratulations Chris on finally breaking through the perfectionism and hiring editors! This is going to be a very important step later on as the channel grows. Congratulations on the office as well! As for decorating it, I think it would be a good idea to revisit your videos and include some highlights of Abroad in Japan channel there. Perhaps as you go about it you could even make a video reminiscing the past, reminding us of some of the funniest and most profound, and perhaps encourage people to rewatch them. With new editors it shouldn't be impossible.

Serge

I'm a little late to this thread so this will probably get buried But I really think for the next Journey Across Japan, you should do some hiking/camping (you did tell us in one of your streams to remind you ;) so here's that reminder!) I think that hearing you talk so much about the northern prefectures and how beautiful they are really could make this work. Obviously you wouldn't need to hike all the way across Japan, but I think even going across a portion of a prefecture you particularly like could be amazing. There's an app called AllTrails, I don't know how much it's used over in Japan, but it's a great resource to look for hiking trails and campsites, and look for paths of varying difficulty. That way you could find some trails that won't be absolute misery to film and hike on. On top of that, if you take Joey along and capitalize on his weebness, there's an anime pretty much entirely dedicated to camping called Yuru Camp, and it uses a ton of real life trails and campgrounds around Yamanashi and surrounding areas. The campgrounds have some sort of partnership with the series and are pretty vocal about nature preservation, so I'm sure you could get some great content from that. At the end of the day, though, I think your motto of quality over quantity means that however you do the next Journey Across Japan, it's going to be a blast

Chris, congratulations! You definitely need a manhole corner with stuffed animals just like that weird love hotel 🐻🐰🐯🦁🦝🐶😂!

Tinya Wollweber

Just joined Patreon and this is the first video I've watched on here. Love the look of the new studio and I'm really looking forward to the great possibilities of the content Chris!

Congrats on the new studio! Will be looking forward to how you will be designing it. Definitely on board with having lika a retro video game-esque corner. That would look so cool for your monologue-type videos.

Maybe Me

The studio needs a fried chicken corner where you review food from japan, as for journey i thought the last one had really spectacular views great quality stuff.

Congrats on the Studio. The studio ideas sound cool. I can only speak for myself but JAJ1 felt longer and more *journey-like*; but that could've just been how many parts it had. Looking forward to it nonetheless.

Mechnikov

Brilliant news! You should definitely include food based challenges in the video game - I loved the Google Olympic game too. So cool!

Rachel Boucher

Hey! If your really going to do a video game! Base it on Donkey kong. You can be Mario jumping over sushi and natsuki can be a ninja. Every time natsuki attacks you get a hair cut. Dr jelly slimes everyone and ryotaro gives out sake points. Then to win, you need to cross japan picking up prefecture coins.

Congrats on the Studio, looking forward to see how you are going to use it :) I myself are not a very experienced game dev but I am a very good programmer and I would suggest you start looking for people who are experienced Unitiy developer. It's a great games engine that is perfect for the type of game you described :)

anything you do we will love .. btw natsuki is cool and all but make some videos with risotoro . you two have such amazing chemistry, the jokes are amazing. from the videos on the channel we know that risotoro has travveled into a lot of countries and stayed a lot of years outside of japan you could make a short film about his life . just an idea what ever you do we gonna love it as i said earlier :P keep beeing awesome

Foivos Anargyros

That would be weird "man cave" with such corner ^.^

BrusLee

+1. You're an encyclopedia of knowledge. Share your secrets with us.

Mark

Chris why don’t you do more videos about sites, festivals (events), or places that are cultural/historical Japanese? Your older videos with Ryotaro covered some cultural information (pagodas and shrines) and overviews of historic Japanese culture. This would be really fascinating to watch for those who are subscribed to you that are interested in Japanese history/culture. Give it a thought. Also have somewhere in the studio that shows all the prefectures you’ve traveled to and the ones left!

Heytony

You going to give Sharla a tiny corner?

Karen Nakamaki

If you do another Journey Across Japan, you could try and do something with Emma since she had to be cut from the original one because you were half dead by that point XD What about a Journey Across (the whole of) Japan where you could also to make use of as many methods of transport as you can for certain legs of the trip; Bus, Train, Car, Walk, Motorbike, Push bike, ferry/boat etc. One of the cool things about the original was the different guests.. and when you think about Natsuki, the Trash Taste lads and some of the Tokyo Creative people too i think you'd have a good bunch. - Also, the original was a 25+ part thing which was pretty cool.

Need a life size cardboard cut out of samurai ryotaro with his menacing face.

AH, and if you get a couch or a lounge space, Amazon sells fried chicken shaped pillows!

You definitely need a coffee and KitKat nook! Congratulations on your new space!

Video games a cool idea! The power ups have to include Famichiki and Coolish. Good luck with studio space, excited to see what you make with it! Keep up the awesome content.

So freaking excited for the new studio and everything else you're planning!! Can't wait :)

Journey across Japan by scooter, that can’t go wrong. The first studio should be just a desk in the empty studio.

Lawrence Flower

sounds like you might need an architect for your studio interior. i wonder if there is anyone available for the task

Alev Akkor

Congratulations on the studio!

In the words of Natsuki, "WOW!" So much to look forward to...for yourself and for us. It's amazing to see how far you've come and exciting to find out where you'll go. Grateful that I found your channel nearly 4 years ago when I was trying to figure out my own journey across Japan. Here's to the future in a world that is safer and healthier for all. 🍻

Jolie

Hi Cris. Try the RPG maker Series. Not sure if the old onces became already public, but the google game kinda reminds me of the earlier titles from that game dessigning tool series. Its fairly easy, probably only, the scripting part may be a bit tricky. Though that depends on how complicated you want the minigames. As for the Studio dessign, i think retro japan and some modern futuristic sets are deffinitely cool. Cheers from Prague.

Peter

The new studio needs a Broad Street Pub decked out in British memorabilia like that British bar you and Natsuki went to, with a fridge full of ciders! Maybe have a guitar for any impromptu Natsuki performances.

congrats on getting the studio!! i think a corner with decorations from JAJ would be pretty neat! also a video game would be amazing! perhaps link the mini games back to the JAJ events?

harupi

Something you might love (or hate) as an idea for the studio: a mannequin, wearing shirts and hats with terrible English on them. And for the next Journey Across Japan, it would be really cool to see you explore lesser known theme parks, active and abandoned, and trying them all out. Maybe get more guests to come along? Good luck with the video game! Chris strikes me as a supporting character, giving snarky comments and useful tips to the protagonist, so there's an idea 😂

Austin B.

Journey across Japan Season 4 should be done on a horseback!

Congratulations on the studio! And hello to the future patreon editor!

Sereen

Your video game could see Natsuki travel Japan and battle different people who have appeared on the channel such as Ryotaro. After winning you can recruit them to your team and continue onward, getting items etc from minigames. By the end of the game you can choose your team to take on the big boss. Like pokemon but with locations/ characters from Abroad in Japan. Would love to see a Cigarette smokescreen special move for Natsuki haha!

Alex Bennett

The angry video game nerd has put out a few 8 bit games they are old school platformers he even got them put on PS4 and Xbox they was made by freakzone games

Jr pence

That studio space looks nice! You need a large green screen then you can sit on a stationary bike and insert it into a video for JAJ4 😉 Looking forward to the video game. Definitely need to make it a RPG style that Japan is famous for.

Tom W

It'd be really cool if in your potential game you could pick your character between you, Natsuki and Joey! Maybe even have a secret route with your camera crew, haha.

Froppuccino

Congratulations on the new studio!! Can’t wait to see how you’ll set up the space! 🤗

Jasmyne

Grats on securing the studio, Chris! Well, if you're going to do a Natsuki corner... you have to include some of his famous quotes or merch that uses his quotes (free advertising!) I think I mentioned it in the previous post about the studio, but cutouts of the AiJ team (Natsuki, Ryotaro, Pete, and You) would be awesome to see. A showa themed area? unless that's what you meant by retro game area! As for the video game, maybe you have "nodes" for each prefecture/location and you complete various trials to reach the end? Sendai to Kagoshima. Each of the places you go through has a little story related to the prefecture and there's an overarching one throughout the journey. I'm just throwing out ideas here on the spot heh.... You can even include bosses at the end of each Leg of the journey.

H J

The studio sounds awesome! Can't wait to see it all decorated. Congrats! A video game? Oh you're spoiling us lol. I would totally play a video game based off of JAJ! As for another JAJ series. I saw someone already say it but, a race across Japan would be cool. Limiting yourself to other modes of transport (no cars/bullet trains). But you'd still have to do weird challenges along the way! And idk, the last two JAJ totally felt like the real thing. You don't need to almost kill yourself on a bike for it to feel like JAJ!

Astor Reinhardt

Just a tip from someone that’s been involved in game development. Don’t. Do. It. It’s very expensive and unlikely to be worth it. It sounds like a good idea, but it never is.

Matthew (Zei)

I said it on YouTube but I’ll repeat here… Just imagine: an Abroad in Japan retro style video in an actual arcade cabinet in the studio! Now that would be cool. 😃

Laura Beaumont

Idea for the new studio: Make a shrine to Ken Watanabe. Perhaps then he will grace you with his presence.

Scott Adams

Awesome news on the studio! It's been really cool watching your channel evolve. As for Journey Across Japan, I always enjoy it, it ticks the boxes for me which is seeing places and activities I don't see in any other video. That being said (I know its difficult to organise), I do miss seeing some of the original guests on Journey Across Japan. As for the video game, an exciting idea, is this a thing I can throw money at? Cause I will. I think if you do a game with Natsuki as the main character, it would be cool if he had different outfits he could unlock; like Cherry Hat Natsuki, Pirate Natsuki, Rockstar Natsuki, maybe Balloon Natsuki? Maybe those outfits could even have some sort of special power that is necessary for overcoming a level, like Balloons for flight like Mario, I don't know. I think Dr Jelly could make an interesting addition if he's like a special character that could be summoned to help Natsuki overcome situations, maybe if he collects enough of something? I don't know, the worlds your oyster! Have fun with it!

Patrick

I’d argue that it wasn’t the physical activity that made the first “season” so great, but actually all the guests! Joey and Natsuki are fun, but would love to see other folks— Sharla, Pete, Emma, etc! 😁

Hope the game ends up happening. It would be a blast. All I can offer for ideas is calling it Natsuki and the Search for the Pirate Pants 😅

Dusty B

For the game instead of health it should be cigarettes and you lose one even so often

Thomas

If anything there’s Too Much Risottoro coming up 😂

Abroad in Japan

Haha, well spotted! We did indeed film before he lost the pants. It’s more like a prequel 😂

Abroad in Japan

game-wise, why not a JAJ style where each level is unlocked by Anpanman sending out a challenge and little 6-bit Natsuki has to overcome things like no sleep (he has to find Boss coffee/dt Jelly in vending machines) or flat tyres (pick the right words for “help me”)

Congratulations! Very exciting news and about time you got yourself a team so you don’t have to work yourself to the bone. Looking forward to all the new content!

For the studio you need a huge tv playing the doctor jelly commercials on a loop. the rest is optional. Well, maybe a large supply of family mart fried chicken.

rafa UGM

Wow, such ambitious and amazing plans! Very exciting indeed.

Congratulations!

I’m very excited to see what’s in store for the future!

Congrats on the studio! :) The first thing came into my mind was a morning show. Well don't have to be a morning one and not even a long one. Just like a happy hour or something. I know its maybe out of the content now as you have podcasts aswell but I thought I just leave it here in case starts something in your mind :))

Three words, Leisure suit Larry (Natsuki)

I love the idea of a game and would definitely get it. If you plan on having lives or a HP guage, would love if they were balloons. Life is balloons, y'know?

Congrats on getting the studio. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Huge congratulations on the space, Chris! You deserve it. The idea of a video game sounds like such a blast! We will of course need some nice dry, sarcastic scripting from you to make it feel like the real thing! I'm an illustrator and character designer so hey, if you need any concept or sprite art, hit me up! 🤪

Yay. I’m so very excited!!! This is great. I can’t wait to see all the collaborations that are yet to come with the team and friends. As for video games? I loved Myst . Unlocking puzzles and finding clues, exploring pathways and places to advance the game. And team members can meet at certain locations to give u clues onto the next area or not. Lol I am sure the sky is the limit with your talent. Congrats!!!!

Carissa

You need a developer + game designer. Pixel art games are pretty simple to make when you have all the required assets. I work in this field in London and it would be cool to have a go at this kind of project for fun if you can find designer :p

Yay! this is so exciting I can't wait for what's to come Chris.

DinoKōyō

Hey Chris! Congratulations on the new studio! It certainly looks more spacious than what you have worked with. I'm excited to see how you choose to decorate the space! No doubt you'll create a tour video of sorts when the time comes. 😊 To add to the comments about a JAJ videogame, I think it would be neat to add a puzzle aspect to the challenge part(s) of the game. The Legend of Zelda series comes to mind. I have fond memories of playing The Legend of Zelda (gold cartridge, of course) and A Link to the Past on the good ole SNES. ✌️Also, I did some digging on Reddit and found a link to the comic that you and Trash Taste are starring in, just in case you haven't read it yet: https://m.webtoons.com/en/challenge/trash-taste/list?title_no=632629&webtoon-platform-redirect=true

You simply must have a big Ryotaro's portrait somewhere in the studio, Chris! Good luck with everything, those are some really kick-ass goals you set for yourbself and I'm sure you'll achieve them all.

Aahzmandus

Just a couple of ideas for the game: 1. Make it a fantasy game with a clear goal. For example, could be a Journey Across Japan and incorporating Japanese folklore monsters (take look at Nioh or Sekiro), where you need to reach your destination and then journey back (there and back again, like LOTR and Hobbit, those kind of stories are very effective) 2. early on choose a style of gameplay. One option is real-time adventure, for which I would recommend to take a look at Katana Zero. Anther option is a JRPG of sorts with turn based RPG mechanics and level ups, creating a party of characters. BUT not both styles!!!! 3. make a goal of how long to beat, my recommendation is to make it at least 5 hours but no longer than 10 as it might be too much effort to make it bigger. 4. Main/playable characters should all be people who have starred/guested in the channel over the years not just recently. Make the bad guys generic with one big boss, who might as well be Ryotaro. 5. Include as make references to videos as possible, a very high goal would be to have one uniquer reference to each video ever made, even if there are several references per "scene". 6. Coding it is one thin, designing and planning is a whole other thing! I would recommend you plan it all out and story board it before actually hiring a coder or even starting actual work. Think of it as an animated and interactive JAJ film. You would not start shooting without a script, much less a story board. But both of which are flexible to change.

Gus Elizondo

Hey congratulations on the studio and can't wait to see the new editors at work. I with them luck. Personally what made the later JAJs feel less spontaneous (not that they were bad by any means) was that you had the cast (Joey and Natsuki.) As well as the locations set in advance. The challenges were on-top of the places you already when to as apposed to the reason for the video. Eg. S3 ep1, while the challenge was to catch your meal (hard mind you) the Cessna was the main focal point. And that was awesome! But it was (or at least felt) planned in advance. That's my opinion. Whatever you do Chris I'm still going to watch and enjoy! 😎👍

Matthew Davison

Congratulations on the new studio. As someone who has dabbled in game dev before maybe you should set up a game jam. It would be a fun, safe way to see what the community will come up with. Some of the more off the wall ideas come from these events. You'll be surprised. I think itch.io has a way of setting one up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_jam

Sounds like you're setting Chris up for success to win the Most Drip Awardw!

Turn based kinda' like Final Fantasy? It would be cool to see Natsuki fight creepy things in Scary Fucking Place! I like the idea of having him have different transportation methods. That aspect makes me think of Pokemon.

I'd love to create some fan art! Please let us know if you decide to have a P. O. Box!

Just watched the 1 hour behind the scene video (which was great) but then the ASO song popped up and the background music that I had finally gotten out of my head reappeared...honestly where do you find these amazing background songs?! PS: congratulations on the new studio!! :)

For your game try hitting up Lillymo games, they're a Canadian dev who does retro style titles. Their most recent game was Habroxia 2 and it was pretty cool. Their Twitter is @LillymoGames

Michael (ObjoGaming)

The new studio looks like a great space to experiment new ideas and stuff. Perhaps a game show or trivia game about Japan?

Yash Kapoor

Congrats on the studio Chris! I'm a full-time software engineer and your video game idea sounds fun! Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to lead a project like that, but when it gets off the ground let me know if you need any help!

e10109

For Journey Across Japan, you could hike/walk/bike from Sendai to Tokyo and the finale could be climbing Mt. Fuji with Trash Taste? If you want to tie it to the video game, you could different options to get there and obstacles and rewards along the way. (And Ryotaro could be at the summit of Mt. Fuji...)

Congratulations on the studio, that space looks amazing. I'm very excited about all the new videos coming up, looks like some great stuff is coming our way. I was wondering if the series with Connor is still happening as well? (I tried to re-watch the first one on Connor's channel, but youtube age-restricted it and I refuse to give them my creditcard info, so that was a bummer.)

claudia

And the trash taste bois would cheat but not as much as Ryotaro

WT

These ideas must be in game. Yes yes yes

WT

The Tobishima Video is finally here!

Alex Cheng

Chris here's an idea for the next Journey Across Japan - how about RACE Across Japan? You could have a few teams/pairs like team Chris, team Joey, team Ryotaro for example and you have to race from location to location but with rules and challenges along the way (like no cars, no trains or whatever). Just an idea, I'm sure you could turn it into something fantastic

Tom Barber

Yes!!!! My husband said the same thing while listening to the video. Oregon Trail, Journey Across Japan. Final boss can be Giant Buddha Statue Chris! Volcano background, Dr Jelly hp recovery potions 🧪 🌋 🤩

Kristina Taylor

Hello Mr. Chris! Congratulations on the new space! So happy for you. Maybe an idea for you, Put in a big (maybe retractable) green screen. Then you can be everywhere in the world you would like to be with the push of a button :) can’t wait for more of your videos! Fan for life!

Rob Biberhofer

Congratulations on your new studio!!! Looking forward for all the new videos to come 💫💫💫💫💫

Congratulations Chris, the place looks great! The image reminds me of the parents in spirited away, when they are turned into pigs. The body of course, not the face. As for the game, I would strongly advice not to go with the cheap option when it comes to development. Also, managing a product is a full time job. You will have to really keep up with what is happening or be ok with a game that doesn't match your vision and/or quality standards.

Johannes

Congrats on getting the new studio. So Exciting! Looking forward to seeing your final setups and overall look. Also, looking forward to more videos in the near future. Keep it up the great work!

Mercedes Mezzasalma

The studio looks amazing! Congrats Chris! Blue check on its way I’m sure. 😁 I’m in LA and recently got trapped at an unbelievably boring social function next to a significant talent agency’s stylist (both of which shall remain nameless). We spent the 2+ hours talking exclusively about you because the I got a AIJ alert right as I sat down and I pulled it up to read the text then sat my open phone face up on the table and they recognized you. Conversation started. So I think I scored you some rather expensive style advice for free. I finally managed to hunt them down again to ask if I could share the conversation with you and under a very strict set of secrecy rules, the answer was yes. I’ll leave out the shockingly brutal dissection and just give you the end result suggestions, if you are interested. Other than the podcast email I don’t see anywhere I can send that, it’s gonna be rather lengthy. Got another email or Just use podcast email and note accordingly? Scratch that I should have read the damn twitter post first. Lol.

WT

Congrats on the studio Chris! Excited to see it when it’s all set up 👍

Samuel Clements

Hey Chris, I'm a game design-studies alumnus. Although I don't make them anymore, ideas pop into my head from time to time. Listening to you, something popped up. Do you know "death road to Canada"? It's an "evolution" of the "Oregon trail", kinda. You have to escape zombified america to enter Canada. It's played top-down in Real-time in pixels style. And it has combat against zombies and survivors, a la "the last of us". But with more random Oregon trail-ish survival-themed minigames as you travel your road. Something that could work incredibly well is taking that as a "template" of sorts. Demon king Ryotaro magically kidnaps Chris from the past, and Natsuki jumps after him to free him. Only he gets teleported to the far end of the tokaido route, and has to walk all the way from Osaka to Tokyo. Underway, you can have some history facts. Some fun survival minigames. Some Abroad on Japan cinematic universe cameos. And a final boss fight against Ryotaro. The tie in could be you walking or cycling the tokaido route or something IRL. This idea could also work with the "Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage", which would be an awesome tie-in too! Anyways, you should definitely play Death Toad to Canada to get a feel for what I'm trying to convey, and how you could use it as a template! It's really fun!

Ramon

Congratulations on getting the studio (and the editors! Having them will definitely improve your chances of completing a short film!)! What size is the studio (in m2)? Your ideas for a blade runner set and a showa era tatami room set sound great; and I'd also include am area where you can shoot with plenty of natural light, if possible

Nynke de Haas

Congratulations on the studio!! perhaps a before/after video? Excited for all your future content :)

Great news about the studio! So excited for the video game, it would be an awsome extension of the JAJ Universe. Some ideas for it (it is hard to keep myself from going overboard with this): All our favourite JAJ participants (Joey, Sharla, Pete, etc) should appear, handing out missions for each level or even as playable characters. At the end, if you beat final boss Risottoro, Mr. Watanabe would appear. The levels could refer to some of your real adventures, like finding your way through a cave, fighting giant centipedes, hiding from a ghost in an abandoned hotel, climbing Mt. Fuji... Power ups could be energy jelly, fried chicken. There could also be upgrades to equipment such as you did for pimping your bikes with Joey.

Eszter Nagy

Natsuki's special move would be a smokescreen that poisons and blinds enemies, rissoterio's would be keep calling in minions from across japan to aid his fight for world domination (starting in japan).

Between this video and clipping back to the fried chicken film & JAJ3 it does look like you lost weight.

Joshua Mannix

You have the space! That's so awesome. I'm excited to see what you do with it.

Susanne Tassin

Yay! Congrats! Can't wait to see what the studio looks like when you're done decorating. So excited for all that's to come!

Hey Chris, so you might know the old SNES game mario is missing? It was not only a lil fun game with puzzles and Luigi hopping on koopas, but it also had a lot of facts about famous sites of the Region luigi was in. So maybe something like this? Bgmouth has been taken on a food odyssey by Risottoro and Natsuki the Man feels left out so he chases you guys all across Japan. And Dr. Jelly is some sort of informant who has quests for Natsuki to reveal your next destination. Also i love the Bladerunner idea. Been a big fan of the Movie and the Cyberpunk genre since the late 80s myself so i can't wait to see what you'll come up with.

Seek83

Congratulations, can't wait to see what you do with the space. You could construct a stage area with lighting and maybe a greenscreen, Abroad in Japan's Got Talent vibes. The possibilities are endless... As for the game, when I was a kid I was obsessed with Banjo Kazooie. I loved how all the levels were themed so differently and you could control both characters at the same time using their unique skills.

Awesome! I‘m really excited for the future content! 😏

Kai

Studio looks sweet! Can't wait to see the future collabs with other creators and who knows.. maybe a visit from Mr. Watanabe himself. Would love to see some sort of P.O box system videos where you receive packages and gifts from all over the world, I think it'd be cool to see what all your viewers across the globe could send. As for ideas for your studio, a Patreon wall of some sorts might be interesting, may also bring more people to your Patreon. But all that besides can't wait for the channel's future!

Jack Lindberg

Studio looks Ace. Hope you pull off the blade runner looks....unlike that bloody awful trailer for the new blade runner animated series, that made me want to tear out my own eyeballs and flush them down the toilet. Just wondering what Natsuki's 2 cigarette power up would be like in the game. Maybe get Dr Jelly involved for energy power ups. CDawgs costume shop.

Dave Morrison

Do a jrpg style with turn based combat and natsuki has to fight stuff like kappas and giant oranges depending on the lacation he visits. Have him be able to upgrade his method of transport from walking to bikes to small cards to the massive minibus. Have a day and night cycle with chanalanges each day where you have to do something liek visit a place speak to a certain person beform a stupid task or battle certain number of enemies etc. Can have cool 16 bit cutsceens for famous or super cool landmarks. Have loads of nps and cool weapons

Stefan Ford

looking forward to your videos Chris, its weird but i kinda miss videos with Risotto

SarumanTheStinky

Did you film that teased video with Natsuki before Journey Across Japan or does (well, did) Natsuki have 2 of those pants? Also: I know rooms look larger when they are empty, but that stuido looks huge, especially for Japanese standards.

Naryoril

Exiting! Don’t forget, the last 20% is 90% of the work

Faenor

Great job! So excited for you!
