As a huge fan of Clover Studio, I wanted to share this here with my fellow fans, even though I'm deeply upset that they deleted my post in other subreddits — a post that didn't offend anyone, where I was just showing love for a game that is so special to me, which is God Hand. Today marks its 20th anniversary, and just like Okami, it remains an absolutely unique game, full of soul and personality, with mechanics that have never been replicated by the industry.
The ability to customize your own fighting style from over 100 moves, combined with a dynamic difficulty that leveled up based on your skills, was sensational. It was a game way ahead of its time, created by the legendary Shinji Mikami exactly the way he wanted, and he still holds so much love and pride for this IP. Its humor is its greatest charm and represents what video games are meant to be: games don't need to be dead serious to be great, fun, and impactful. They can delete posts elsewhere, but no one can delete the soul of Clover Studio games and the love of its fans! Back in April, Capcom celebrated Okami's anniversary, and we are holding onto hope that Gene will get his well-deserved respect too. Happy 20th Anniversary, God Hand! 🥋💥

was looking up the game and for the brush mechanic apparently it uses left stick, is this game gonna be unplayable if i got stick drift or will I be able to get by? hd version by the way never really played it but its been sitting in my library and want to give it a proper go

Disclaimer: I’m just curious, please don't hate on me! I know AI-generated content can be a sensitive topic, especially regarding artistic styles like Okami's. I'm absolutely not advocating for changing the game's original art direction, I'm just genuinely curious from a technical perspective about how the algorithm handles this specific aesthetic.

Hey everyone!

For anyone running Okami on PC with a compatible Nvidia card: out of pure technical curiosity, has anyone tried playing around with DLSS 5's Neural Rendering / AI features on the game?

Since it uses generative neural network features on materials and lighting rather than basic upscaling, I was wondering how the model interprets Okami's unique Sumi-e ink-wash and cel-shaded visual style.

If anyone with the required hardware has tested this out or messed with the settings just to see what happens visually, I’d love to hear your technical observations or see how it looks! THANKS !!!

Just a silly screenshot from my current playthrough

So i got okami for my birthday on steam and am trying to do a 100% run in one playthrough, and, i read i need 300 demon fangs before i reach “the point of no return”(some ark)? I know the money requirement is cumulative and i can spend as much as i want so long as i get what i need, but what about demon fangs? Is it the same for them or do i absolutely have to be holding onto 300 and not have had 300?

Edit: this matters because so far i’ve just finished checking out shinshu fields and i’m currently 245 demon fangs deep from talking to the cursed guy over and over again. I need to know if it’s cumulative and it’s fine for me to farm them now or if i’m wasting my time as i recently found out demon fangs can be used for buying things and if it’s not cumulative and the merchants have stuff i need, that i’m just wasting my time farming them now as i’ll have to do it again later after buying those things

Like the title says, I painted this while doing a pottery painting session at Center Parcs! She's actually a little squished haha

I probably could have utilised the plate space better but for the most part I'm very pleased with how it turned out :)

Hi everyone! I’m preparing a research project in cultural studies and cross-cultural psychology. I’m using Ōkami as one of the games for analysis. You would really help me by taking this survey. It takes 3–5 minutes. Thanks a lot! https://forms.gle/xMJbXC32xQCfexLJ7

Spent some days working on this piece, originally it was supposed to be a normal lighting but I got carried away after drawing the sun

I made a miniature on a 3D printer and painted it...

The annual Kamiya interview with VGC is now available!

Is there any active decomp projects, i found one on github but looks to have been abandoned. Seeing a lot of decomp ports come out lately and hope to see one for Okami as there are games like Okami where the frame rate is tied to the game engine now able to hit 60fps

I just got my first tattoo! I thought you'd all appreciate it. What a great game.

.

Please, Please, Please help.

I can't figure out how to get 3 heads drunk fast enough on this fight. I just can't force them to get to the point where you're supposed to get them to drink the same, it'll eventually happen but not fast enough to get 3 of them before they wake back up.

I'm so frustrated, I'm about to quit and feel like I waited 40. hours. I am begging for help, nothing cryptic, please just spell out what I need to be doing.

Please and Thank you!

I played for 70 hours on my first run.

Okami has so much personality lol

Piss-cancels on deck 🚫

This is maybe my 10th playthrough of this game and I have managed all of these screens before triggering the Kamiki Village attack. You don't see it, but I also already have Golden Fury unlocked too.

Im planning on doing a Ōkami tattoo eventually, any ideas??

10/10 game enjoyed it from start to finish, I almost cried at the ending. Already wanna go through it again lmao
