言わなきゃ消えないんだから

落ちゲーですね。ただ、落ちゲーは同じ色を並べたり列を揃えたりすりゃ消えていくけど、言葉の場合は並べるだけじゃだめで、言わなきゃ残り続けるんだよ、消えないんだよっていう。
思ったことをすぐ言えるやつと言えないやつの対比って感じですね。相手にもよるんだろうけど。

年明けくらいの絵で落ちゲーの画面風になりかけたやつがあって、いや落ちゲー風やるならもっといいシチュエーションあるっつってやめた絵があるんだけど、正解だったかなって感じっすね。

■どこまでやる？手描き感
字の話。今回の場合、ブロックに書かれている文字は手描き（同じ文字はコピペしてる）、ほかはフォントです。
最初はブロックに書かれてる文字もポップなフォント使おうかとか思ってたんですけど、この絵って構成的にブロックに書かれてる文字は注目されることを想定してるので、そこがフォント感丸出しだとさめる人もいんのかなとか思っちゃって、結局手描きになりました。
手描きとフォントが混じってると気持ち悪いかなとか思っちゃって一時はスコアとかの文字も全部手描きにしたんですけど、そうなると今度はゲーム画面っぽさが薄れてくる感覚もあって、この形に落ち着きました。このへんのバランスはいつも迷いますね。

they won't vanish until I say them.

Falling puzzle games, yeah? In those games, you can make a line of the same colour and it disappears, but when it comes to words, lining them up isn't enough. You have to say them or they'll keep staying behind, never disappearing. That's the idea.
It's that contrast between the ones who immediately say what's on their minds and the ones that don't. It also depends on who you're talking to, of course.

There was a falling puzzle game-ish drawing I made at the start of the year, but I told myself that if I'm going to make it falling puzzle-themed I should make it a better situation and gave up on it. It feels like I probably made the right choice.

■ How far do you go? Handwritten feel
I'm talking about the characters. In this case, the text on the blocks is handwritten (and duplicates are copypasted), while the others are fonts. At first, I was thinking of using a pop font on the blocks as well, but going with the idea that compositionally, the characters on the blocks are what draw the eye in this picture, I figured people would criticise it if that text was all font-based and in the end I wrote them by hand.
I thought mixing handwritten and fonts would look off-putting and for a moment I had the score and stuff also handwritten, but I felt that reduced the game screenshottyness of it instead, so I settled on this. It's easy to get torn up about the balance of things like these.
