Legendary designer Hideo Kojima has, presumably for the primary time ever, tried to elucidate why all his games carry the tagline “A Hideo Kojima Game.”
The apparent reply is as a result of Hideo Kojima directed them, however this isn’t one thing you ever see in video games. Despite main involvement of key inventive figures in loads of games, large and small, you hardly ever see the lead director or designer on the duvet.
Last weekend, Kojima took to Twitter to elucidate why he determined to connect his identify to each game he makes within the first place, whilst advanced as right now’s games could be. According to Kojima, all of it comes all the way down to how concerned he’s within the growth course of.
“33 years ago in game industry, the game dev team was formed [by] only 5-6 [people],” mentioned Kojima.
“Creating the concept ideas, writing the story & specs, drawing the map on the graph paper, helping dot draw, inputting the data directly, managing the flag, constructing simplified language by logic, compressing binary number image, conducting all the directions and even writing the manual script,” he wrote.
“And then I had to do business management, producing, & promoting. Even when the team got bigger and the task was subdivided my way of making game didn’t change, an indies style.”
“I get involved myself with the game creation from upstream to downstream. That’s ‘A Hideo Kojima Game.’”
Hideo Kojima’s subsequent game, Death Stranding, might be his first after going indie and splitting from Konami. It, too, will carry ‘A Hideo Kojima Game’ on its cowl, and it launches November 8.
