>seeing he does everything himself, this kind of thing must be pretty interesting.
ZUN is a professional programmer.

> I don't use the software or programs that most indie developers generally use when I make my games. On my computer, I use my own version of DOS-V, my development environment is a compiler, Visual Studio. For pictures, it's generally Photoshop, and for music I use Cubase SX, but not Prouse. It was a lot harder for indie developers to make games 10 years ago... No matter what you made, it took a lot of blood, sweat, and effort. I don't like my expression when I exert a lot of effort so I don't do it very often. (lol)

The games are programmed in C++ with DirectX, in case that part isn't obvious.

C and photoshop

paint and visual basic

Does ZUN have a budget for the games?

>>10073941
perhaps it comes from his own money or whatever revenue he makes for each game, does he get any money of all the doujinshi artist who use his work?

>>10074236
He's actually really cool with derivative works:

Doujin circles don't have to pay royalties or anything, they just have to credit him.

Of course, for widespread, commercial works, he asks you seek his permission. I'm also guessing he receives royalties for figs and other merchandise.

all money goes to beer

>DirectX
...And he also uses Visual Studio.

What a pleb.

I am brewing my own beer and would like to send him one as a token of appreciation, is this possible?

>>10074531
Such is life in glorious Nippon.

>>10074533
I recall someone asked the same thing once. Maybe search the archive for "zun address"?
Alternatively, email him at zun@big.jp
He speaks some English. Write simply and tell him you would like to send him some of your beer as a token of thanks, and ask what address you should send it to.

Lisp is the most poweful programming language.

>>10079085
Lisp is useless.

Why is zun so cute?
I mean, an indie western dev with as much dedication to his work as zun would look and act like some horrible cave beast, but zun looks like a really fun guy.
Is he the physical embodiment of taking it easy?

>>10079157
Actually ZUN goes to Gensokyo and has has Yukari manipulate the border of the game being programmed and the game not being programmed, so it gets done very quickly.

Also he's happy because, well, at one point he describes himself as the Master of the Hakurei Shrine, so I'm assuming he fucks Reimu.
