      It's late at night and therefore the perfect time to post trivia about the unreleased Vic Tokai game Secret Ties. Thanks to the @retropalshq stream from earlier this year, I did a cursory check of the credits to see who made the game.https://youtu.be/HaZb0L-9Awo?t=3767 …

      First things first: the localizers, Jimee D and MC Ikeya, also did the English text for Trouble Shooter. I pretty much knew this already just from comparing the games, since they share the same wisecracking, self-aware tone.

      But what about the rest of the credits? Well, an M. Usami worked on the story and programming for Secret Ties, and the same name gets a "special thanks" in The Krion Conquest credits.https://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,558091/ …

      I couldn't spot any other direct links, but the director of Secret Ties went by Kakashi Hal III, and the designer of Clash at Demonhead went by Outsider Hal, so maybe there's a connection.https://www.mobygames.com/game/nes/clash-at-demonhead/credits …

      So I think Secret Ties was an internal Vic Tokai game, as opposed to something farmed out to another developer like Jorudan or Aicom. Maybe someday we'll find the also-unreleased Shogun Maeda and Mariner's Run/Sea Dog so we can dissect their credits at one in the morning.

          Do you think Graphic Research developed the entire game or just the sound, like they did for other Vic Tokai games?
