reading a fantastic book about Shadow of the Colossus and man, sometimes it’s hard to not feel jaded reading how people got their start in the industry compared to how it is today :’)

A passage about Fumito Ueda from Nick Suttner’s book “Shadow of the Colossus”. It reads: “After graduating from Osaka University of Arts in 1993 he applied at game developer WARP, and despite not passing the initial application process he was hand-picked by company head Kenji Eno (who would later become an influential game composer before passing away in 2013) thanks to the concept behind some animation work Ueda had submitted of a dog running in the rain.”

turns out being born about a decade too late in a small, unknown country with no industry to speak of was *not* the play
