I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.

Stalwart art historian @vgdensetsu.bsky.social put out a multi-part, ongoing series on Reiko Kodoma (and much more) - practically a free biography with lots of proper context.

I’ve published the first part of my four-part article (in Spanish) on Rieko Kodama, a mind behind Phantasy Star, Skies of Arcadia and so many cornerstones of JRPG history.

Read it at cooljapan.es: cooljapan.es/rieko-kodama...
More coming soon.

Loving this stream by @hungrygoriya.bsky.social devoted to #RiekoKodama, a true #SEGA legend.

Retrofuturism was one of their strong points in arcades, from plot to art direction to those wonderful melodies♥️

Stranded in an uncharted Island.

What I love in this part of the game is that Vyse never was scared and feared anything while he was here. At most he was tired to be on the Island.
