See how happy they are? Spelunker looks like he's about to burst into song. Probably. Anyway, From Software held a little event in Yokohama over the weekend to commemorate 3D Dot Game Heroes heading into production, and brought along these rad statues.
Producer Takueti Masaru and Project Manager Misawa Hiroyuki of Silicon Studios were on hand, declaring October 10th "Day of the Dot." Why that date holds any particular significance is beyond me, but if you've got some insight, feel free to enlighten us all in the comments.
The important thing to take from all of this is that the game's development is finished, and it's now in the production stages. Also, there exist these two awesome statues somewhere, which someone should steal for the Destructoid office. Check out a few more photos in the gallery.

Depends...how's your karma count lately?
It looks Fun... you know, that thing that Gamers seem to forget about theses day.
I'm all for taken the medium seriously as an art form... but sometimes you just need Fun.
NO?
good, DIBS ON THE RAD HERO STATUE!
It is a parody.
Also the game doesn't need to be better than Zelda. That's not the point. Are you only going to play games that are better than Twilight Pricess now?
I get your point, it's not looking good to you, it's a valid reason, just stick to it. No one can blame you for it. But by giving these frankly bull crap reasons as to why the game falls short your point is now mute.
No idea why this is significant.
I dunno, but I really want this game and those statues.
I would pay good money if they sold miniature versions of those.
PLEASE.
I'll buy two. New even!
Not to be a dick but I never complain about sequels or clones. Yoi will never ever hear me bitch about a game because of that. I hate games when they're bad. Every single game in history could be a Pong rip-off. If it's fun I'm happy.
So as for me I don't care if a game is a rip-off no matter what but I think it's important to realize it's a parody. I can't speak for the other guys.
Again if the game just isn't your cup of tea fine.

Like, how long was this development cycle? I'm kinda worried now. They didn't really have to think much about gameplay elements, but it seemed like a really short time beetween its announcement and its release...
