After one month since I joined Mirai Inc we have been thinking a lot about our business model and we have finally decided to make a shift. From now on one of our main focus is gonna be making eroge (Erotic videogames). The reason is because the Internet market is too competitive here in Tokyo and after some meetings with Nitroplus we learned that eroge is selling A LOT. Danny and I will make videogames in collaboration with Japanese companies, translate those videogames and sell them in Japan and also overseas.

The first game is called Miracle Mirai, an eroge featuring Mirai-chan made in collaboration with Nitroplus. I’m excited, it’s kind of cool and fun to program Mirai-chan erotic moves instead of coding boring html. We are gonna conquer the world!

Check Dannychoo.com and Nitroplus for more information about the game launch.

Dark Water building

The oldest building in Shibuya(A little bit more than 50 years) is gonna be demolished in some weeks. The building is known because the rental space is really cheap, and it’s full of little companies that can manage to do their businesses with 20 square meters. But it’s even more well known because it was the building where most of the Dark Water movie was shoot. I think it’s pretty good horror movie (The Japanese version).

In the film there is a corridor, a room, an elevator and the building from outside. The only thing that was shoot in this building were the scenes involving the corridor, but that’s almost half of the movie. When I used the elevator from this building I was terrified, it seems they never changed the elevator since the built it. I guess they could have also used this building’s elevator for the movie.

These are some pictures I took when I visited the building some days ago:

I think the front it’s even creepier than the corridors inside the building.

BigDog and BigDog beta

“Big dog” is an amazing robot developed by Boston Dynamics, look at what it can do.

Yes, the sound is horrible and it’s weird to see a machine move like a us when it doesn’t look like a human. After one week since this video was uploaded to Youtube there are already some fan made funny videos emulating the robot’s movement, this one is hilarious:
