It is very important to lead the field and innovate in game design.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
This is the entertainment industry, so game designers have to have a creative mind and also have to be able to stand up against the marketing people at their company - otherwise they cannot be creative. There are not that many people who fit that description.
Our approach to making games is to find the fun first and then use the technology to enhance the fun.
So, to really execute design in its highest form and making people feel joy, that's a great reward.
The great thing about games is that it's tremendously collaborative, and it opens you up to this other world of thinking and storytelling and how you construct those stories.
Game design is a funny thing. There are people out there who are really good at it, but it's not clear that they can teach it. It's a very intuitive process. It's an art.
I've always wanted to get involved with designing a video game.
Game management, game decisions, adjustments, seeing things during games - it's all important.
Design is a vital component to the enrichment of our everyday lives. Japan has a very rich history and culture of design, and I feel it is a very important dialogue to open and keep evolving.
What I really want to do is be in the forefront of game development once again myself.
The most important thing in games isn't the designer's narrative, but the story the player creates through his experiences.
