"I MUST LIVE IN MEIFUMADO... ACCEPTING ALL THE REVERSALS OF RIKUDO SHISHO." Modern-day Japan. Daisuke is the last known heir of the Watanabe clan — a samurai living in a world where they are no longer needed. Their honor must be restored. Naoki is a young teenager on the way to reunite with his father — a boy left confused and aimless by the death of his careless mother. He desperately desires purpose. Daisuke seeks revenge in the name of his ancestors — Naoki is caught in the thick of it. One lives according to old forgotten traditions — the other according to a lifestyle where those are no longer relevant. They couldn’t be any different… they have a lot to learn from each other.

Discover the legacy of great warriors of bygone times. Open yourself to the legends and history of a culture that never ceased to fascinate. Learn the traditions of yore — unforgotten despite the passing of centuries. Follow the way of the demon... and enter MEIFUMADO.

Frédérick RAYNAL is a French video game designer and programmer -- notable for his game developments in INFOGRAMES, ADELINE SOFTWARE and NO CLICHÉ.

Frédérick RAYNAL is a French video game designer and programmer -- notable for his game developments in INFOGRAMES, ADELINE SOFTWARE and NO CLICHÉ.

After joining the infant INFOGRAMES, he ported ALPHA WAVES (1990). He and his team soon went on to produce ALONE IN THE DARK (1992), and worked on parts of the direct sequel before leaving the company. RAYNAL formed ADELINE SOFTWARE under DELPHINE SOFTWARE in 1993 with several former INFOGRAMES members. With this new team, RAYNAL produced LITTLE BIG ADVENTURE (1994), TIME COMMANDO (1996), and LITTLE BIG ADVENTURE 2 (1997). He was also given special thanks on the PlayStation port of FADE TO BLACK (1995).

He was also given special thanks on the PlayStation port of FADE TO BLACK (1995).

RAYNAL founded SEGA SOFTWARE in 1999 under SEGA after they acquired ADELINE -- rendering it defunct and pivoted their goals to develop games for the DREAMCAST. It was renamed NO CLICHÉ shortly after. NO CLICHÉ was best known for its first DREAMCAST title -- TOY COMMANDER (1999). In 2000, it produced TOY RACER and helped RASTER PRODUCTIONS into coding localisation for the European release of the QUAKE III ARENA port. In 2001, Sega Europe stopped development on many Dreamcast European games, causing the company to cease development on its current project at the time -- AGARTHA. NO CLICHÉ remained together for a little while after the cancellation -- attempting to create a PC port of TOY COMMANDER. However, the group split before it could be finished.

POP CORN is a Puzzle/Action game by French developers Christophe LACAZE and Frédérick RAYNAL and was released in 1988. The game was available as freeware for DOS with a CGA graphics adaptor, and recieved a reputation for being an improvement over the PC version of ARKANOID. The game was also released with the European version of LITTLE BIG ADVENTURE 2 -- which was also developed by Frédérick during his time as director of the now-defunct video game company ADELINE SOFTWARE.

He has waited many years for this moment. He finally holds him at his mercy. His quest for vengeance will be fulfilled tonight. Soon, he will share the humiliation his ancestors suffered for so long with his sworn enemy... for it is now his turn to taste utter defeat. He will restore honor to the once-decimated clan and punish those who dared to deprive them of their pride to satisfy their selfish designs. This is the night... this is HIS night.

"I MUST LIVE IN MEIFUMADO... ACCEPTING ALL THE REVERSALS OF RIKUDO SHISHO." Modern-day Japan. Daisuke is the last known heir of the Watanabe clan — a samurai living in a world where they are no longer needed. Their honor must be restored. Naoki is a young teenager on the way to reunite with his father — a boy left confused and aimless by the death of his careless mother. He desperately desires purpose. Daisuke seeks revenge in the name of his ancestors — Naoki is caught in the thick of it. One lives according to old forgotten traditions — the other according to a lifestyle where those are no longer relevant. They couldn’t be any different… … they have a lot to learn from each other.

"I'LL CRUSH THOSE WHO DARE TO FIGHT ME — AND STAND VICTORIOUS IN THIS WAR — THAT IS LIFE." In his debut graphic novel, Kevin BLONDEL (THROUGH DEATH AND AFTER, A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM) explores Japanese folklore and ancient Asian philosophies in this action-packed, suspenseful tale. Through a rich cast of characters and a contemplative depiction of various mystical places, the author brings into conflict — literally and figuratively — the ideology of the feudal era with that of the modern world. Discover the legacy of great warriors of bygone times. Open yourself to the legends and history of a culture that never ceased to fascinate. Learn the traditions of yore — unforgotten despite the passing of centuries. Follow the way of the demon... and enter MEIFUMADO.

Perhaps the food isn't to his liking... or perhaps the confinement is forcing him to dwell on the questionable choices he's made throughout his life -- making him lose his appetite. Indeed, how can one not be disgusted -- by everything -- being the perpetrator of these atrocities that caused the downfall of an entire clan and a centuries-old legacy ?

Perhaps he doesn't deserve such a feast. Never mind -- this meal won't be lost on some of his fellow cellmates.

COLOR This test is inspired by printing techniques used in comics in the 1950s. Traditional inking -- clear line -- and screen tones. Palette of 64 colors on three plates -- Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow -- intentionally offset on their respective axes. Additional effects to simulate an old paper texture -- after it was left exposed to humidity for several years.

BLACK & WHITE This test is inspired by screening techniques -- popular in Underground Comics and Manga -- used to add nuance to a relatively flat image. Traditional inking -- clear line. Different shades of screen tone to add volume and separate the different parts of the drawing.
