Current Events > Scenario: You are Yuji Naka, and Square wants you to make a game for them

(+) Yeah! (+)

You had three years but you sort of procrastinated, now they need this game by the end of the week.

What do you do?

---

Load up RPG Maker.

---

I don't know this person but lemme tell you what I'd do if I was them.

*runs*

---

Make a rushed Sonic game. No one expects greatness from them, and rushing them is practically encouraged.

---

I make a well-intended game inspired off of a cult classic of mine, NiGHTS Into Dreams, thinking fans would be happy to see something else like it, but maybe I'll try to make everything a bit more cutesy and childish, maybe too much so, and have one of those dance parties for the ending credits.

---

It's like Call of Duty, but every gun is useless in some unique way.

Light Machine Gun with an absurdly high rate of fire, but can only hold two rounds in the magazine.

Handgun that can theoretically ricochet an infinite number of times but the bullet degrades after going two meters in any direction.

Sniper Rifle with a 300x scope.

Ohhhh and a weird dance number at the end of every mission where you break it down with members of the US Army.

Naka can't catch a break

About 15 years ago
Naka: holy fuck im sick of making sonic games. But maybe i should stay until those new interns finish making the 15th anniversary game?
Executive: Naka san we're thinking about turning sonic into a wolf in the next game. Oh before that how about an Olympics game with Mario. Then a let's give him a sword. Then maybe a gta style game. Oh oh how about we give big the cat his own game
Naka: ok fuck this I'm out

So he started his own company, it went nowhere, sonic went to total shit, naka starts a new company but it doesn't look like go anywhere as balan wonderland is trash

That's what happens with all the popular designers.

Hironobu Sakaguchi leaves Square, starts Mistwalker, releases The Last Story, we don't hear much of anything from him.
Keiji Inafune leaves Capcom, starts Comcept, releases Mighty No. 9, we don't hear much of anything from him.
Hideo Kojima leaves Konami with Kojima Productions, releases Death Stranding, we don't hear much of anything from him.
