I thought some of you might have a few questions, so I've put together a little Q&A. Q: Wait, so Uchi isn't with Too Kyo Games anymore? A: I'm still part of Too Kyo Games, thanks to the kindness of its members. It's a bit like branching out on my own while staying connected to the Too Kyo family. I guess... I just wanted to build something under my own banner, so I decided to start an independent company. Q: So, you and Kodaka didn't have a falling-out? A: I may have fallen in love with him, but we'd never have a falling-out. We're still so close that we even have pajama parties at each other's houses, sipping strawberry milk boba together... Q: What was the game that got canceled? A: I'm really sorry, but I can't reveal that here... I'll let you use your imagination, but if Uchi fans had heard the title, they might have danced like crazy with nosebleeds for three days and three nights straight. Q: Why was the game canceled? A: I apologize, but I can't go into the details of that either. But on a more serious note, I think it's fair to say that major changes in the game development landscape may have played a part. And what brought about those changes? Needless to say... AI (artificial intelligence). Advances in AI have made it possible for people to create games at a much lower cost. To stay competitive, mid-sized game developers like us need to find ways to cut costs. However, these days, using AI to make games is generally frowned upon, isn't it...? Unfortunately, under these circumstances, we're fighting a losing battle. It's often assumed that using AI could cause creators to lose their jobs. But the opposite can also be true. In other words, "not using AI" could also cause creators to lose their jobs. If using AI had been an option, perhaps the project wouldn't have been canceled. Of course, humans would have handled all the creative work, leaving only the tedious tasks to AI. That way, we might have been able to cut development time, not staff. Oh, and just to be clear, that doesn't mean the budget was the direct cause of the cancellation. I'm just saying that if we'd been able to cut costs further, things might have turned out differently. Q: There are still so many things I'd like to ask... A: Hopefully, I'll get another chance to talk about them. I'm always happy to make myself available for interviews with the press.
