When we're doing an action game, we make the second level first. We begin making level 1 once everything else is completed.

I think what's really the most ideal thing is for the player themselves, within their own imagination, to carve out what they view as being the essence of the character.

I think I can make an entirely new game experience, and if I can't do it, some other game designer will.

As I am ageing, naturally, how I want my videogames to be played must be changing.

As a kid, I was a big comic fan and I liked foreign comics as well.

Their attitude is, 'okay, I am the customer. You are supposed to entertain me.' It's kind of a passive attitude they're taking, and to me it's kind of a pathetic thing. They do not know how interesting it is if you move one step further and try to challenge yourself with more advanced games.

I never really participated in specific sports or anything, but once I hit 40, I started to get a little bit more active and began swimming more.
