How game developers worldwide are reliving Y2K Japan, from Jet Set Radio to Dance Dance Revolution Many of today's game designers have, like me, grown up with Japanese Y2K style - the style of the late 90s and early 2000s that gave us not only fear of the end of the world due to a calendar change, but also the WipEout series, futuristic PlayStation 2 ads, and fashion that incorporated everything from glitter to holographic fabrics and cute crop tops.

My 2D gaming mind had no idea how to understand a game that seemed so comfortable in three dimensions, but which also - after years of seeing increasingly refined pixel art - seemed so comfortable with being so ragged. The gaps in Lara's polygonal joints. The clipping of 3D surfaces. The way the polygons around the sides of the screen sometimes disappeared giving the image the perforated edge of a postage stamp.

Dom, one of our engineers, says; "Playing #Vagante, trying to beat the Hard Mode. As for the reason...I guess completion? and at least 60% achievement completion (which is somehow my magic number for if I have properly beat the game or not)"
