The Japanese personifies everything, even heavy equipment

Battleships, samurai swords, castles, sushi...I wrote various articles about the personification in the Japanese games(Please search "personifies" in this blog). However, a newer personification game came up. DMM(they publish personification sea fight simulation game Kan Colle) and Marvelous announced the new PC browser game "Ole Tower ～Over Legend Endless Tower～"(俺タワー ～Over Legend Endless Tower～).
*Ole Tower(俺タワー) means My Tower

Ole Tower is tower construction simulation game. Players collect various heavy equipments and tools, and build a own tower with them... but all of them are cute girls. For example...

She is a Crawler crane.

She is a Loader.

She is a Dump truck.

She is a mini-Excavator.

She is a Hammer.

Now, They accept pre-registration and Forklift truck is given as a privilege to players who pre-registered.

Rovio Japan held a clay sculpture lesson for kids in Tokyo

In Japan, a lot of various homework are imposed on children in summer vacation by a school, In them, there is the homework to make a handmade work. Therefore Rovio Japan held a new event this month.

It's clay sculpture lesson. They held this in App Bank Shibuya of the smartphone goods shop on August 9 and 10. In other words, children can complete one of the homework of the summer vacation by participating in this. This is a good idea to get a viral effect in the school(or kids community). Leevi Lankinen of the sculptor came in Tokyo from the Rovio head office for this event.

"Youtou Arashi to Fubuki -Sword of Twins-"(妖刀 あらしとふぶき -Sword of Twins-: Mysterious Sword Arashi and Fubuki -Sword of Twins-) is a new native app game of DeNA. In ancient Japan where Youkai(妖怪: supernatural creatures in Japanese folklore) threatens the world peace of human beings, Arashi and Fubuki of the brother of a mixed blood of human being and Youkai have an adventure by the help of swords fairies.

At first the player chooses either Arashi(brother) or Fubuki(sister). Both have voices by voice actors.

Well, you may notice. This is a 3-match puzzle RPG such as Puzzle and Dragons. But this has some elements evolving than Puzzle and Dragons. The graphic is a horizontal scrolling action style, own's character moves and talks at every attack and the expression of finisher attacks are showy.

In a process of the adventure, players can get fairies of various swords. All of them are cute girls and real existence swords. This resembles popular sea fight simulation game for PC Kan Colle(艦これ).

For example, She "Ōshū Aizu-jū Kanetomo(奥州会津住兼友)" was the sword which Yahachirou Ozaki(尾崎弥八郎) of the member of the Shinsengumi(新撰組:  special police force organized by the Bakufu  during Japan's Bakumatsu period in 1864. Wikipedia) used habitually. Real she is...

By the way, I noticed a serious thing. This does not have all social elements and players can play only a single play mode. This is exceptional in DeNA which is the giant of the Japanese mobile social game. I do not know why they did so it. However, reviews of App Store and Google Play are not bad. The social elements may be already unnecessary for Japanese mobile F2P games.

You can go to sleep with your head on Unity-chan's lap, but it's VR

I wrote about an original action for Japanese users of Unity Japan the other day.

Maybe, it succeeds. Japanese application developer Up-Frontier developed interesting virtual reality contents using Oculus Rift and Unity-Chan, the original character data of Unity Japan.

This is it.

What??

At first, wear Oculus Rift...

Then the scenery such as the park appears, and Unity-chan comes up next to oneself.

When you put a head on the lap shaped cushion. Your viewpoint follows it, and you can get the sense that has Unity-chan do Hizamakura(膝枕: pillow one's head on somebody's lap).

Furthermore, Unity-chan moves, talks and changes expressions. It's right virtual reality. They show the demo version of this for free. However, unfortunately it is only windows. Downloading is here.
