LET ALL VILLAGERS KNOW YOU ARE A VIDEOGAME ROMANTIC

For reasons not necessarily worth bringing up here, I’ve spent much of the past few post-HORIZON weeks laid up & shut-in, which would have been driven me much crazier than it has were it not for the fortuitous timing of the release of Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Like basically everyone else I know, the past few weeks I’ve been living dual lives in both the real world and in The Village, and, as time has worn on, those two realities have started to happily merge, as a bunch of friendly artists & game fans have brought our favorite bits of the former into the latter.

Above, via Media Center blogger Michael Pang, you’ll find the keys to unlock your very own in-game version of Keita Takahashi’s Videogame Romantics shirt, and below the fold, you can find a number of other amazing submissions from indie game & comic culture to make your Village life feel a little bit more like home.

Artist Kimika ‘Pintendo64‘ Sweeney’s version of Cory’s Venus Patrol logo…

…as well as her importable #sworcery design.

A number of indie developer logo Ts from former Blizzard designer gone indie, Jake Sones, including another Cory Schmitz-designed logo for Skulls of the Shogun & Galak-Z developers 17-Bit…

…Fez creators Polytron…

…and Gun Godz, Super Crate Box & Wasteland Kings developers Vlambeer.

And finally, one last Pintendo64 design, a version of the Pizza is Forever print from Letters To An Absent Father artist, Maré Odomo.

If you’ve also been occupying yourself with real-world designs like this lately, be sure to let us know!
