In the Hand in Killer7 interviews, Masafumi Takada talks about the inspiration for the credits theme "Reenact." Basically, Suda 51 showed him "Grasshopper" by Ride, which they couldn't use in-game, so Takada made a track that was "kind of close to it." www.sceneryrecalled.com/trans/k7int....
[Masafumi Takada] The final track, "Reenact," was the result of a request from Suda to use the track "Grasshopper" from Ride (an English band that was popular in the early '90s). But that wasn't really possible, so I tried to create a track that was kind of close to it. Man, that track just came out in a burst of energy - just banging on the guitar. I get these very specific instructions, but I also get these sloppy instructions like, "give it an overall avant-garde sound." (laughs) But later, when there'd be a sense that I was out of ideas for compositions, a door would end up opening - Suda would bring in a huge bunch of these CDs he got God knows where for their jackets and be like, "here, listen to these."

Suda has done it again, so, uh, let's hope he doesn't have to "do it again" when it comes to the whole "saving the studio" part...

One fun thing that I learned yesterday in my Michigan: Report from Hell playthrough is that a few members of the GHM staff contributed their voices to the potential cameramen in the Japanese version. Masafumi Takada and Jun Fukuda are likely the most recognizable names.

Suda has brought up revisiting Michigan on several occasions. Here's an interview from 2009, for instance. Obviously, nothing concrete has happened yet, but at the very least, Suda is rather consistent about the game. www.gamedeveloper.com/game-platfor...
I'd like to talk a bit about Michigan. I've heard it's not your favorite game, but... 

GS: Did I say that? I didn't really say that, I don't think. 

So is it a favorite of yours, then? 

GS: Well, everything I've made I like to some extent, and that's especially true for the output of Grasshopper itself. In fact, I'd like to make Michigan again, or something like it. There's a Spanish horror film called REC [Ed note: it was remade in the US as Quarantine], and when I watched it, I realized it was pretty much Michigan, right there. I still have a lot of ideas along those lines, and I'd love to work with Spike sometime to make a new Michigan or a remake.

(Michigan: Report from Hell) Here's a fun fact that I (wrongfully) assumed was semi-common knowledge until the stream: the game doesn't take place in Michigan (the state). It actually takes place in Chicago, Illinois, near *Lake* Michigan.

Author's comments:

Prologue
It's Friday night, and once again, Boy was at home with nothing to do and nobody to see. Though he and his mother had moved to the area well over 2 years ago, Boy has yet to make any friends. Every time he'd try to start a conversation with his classmates, or join in on any of the games they played during recess, he'd get mocked. Nobody liked him, and nobody pretended to ... not even his parents. There is no better evidence of this than the fact that his parents never even bothered naming him, figuring he wasn't worth the effort. As you can see, Boy has had it rough since the day he was born. It doesn't help being a total spaz either.

Tired of spending the evening reading comics in his room, Boy figured he'd sit on the front porch with his notebook, the one in which he draws his friends, imaginary though they are. Grasping a pencil in his right hand, he began doodling when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shooting star.

"I wish I had a real friend," he whispered with tears welling in his eyes.

Just then, amazingly, a creature fell from the heavens and landed with a thud in front of Boy.

At the risk of jumping on today's bandwagon topic: I'll fully admit to not being a big fan of Chrono Trigger to begin with, but I raise my eyebrow whenever it's praised for "doing random encounter right," because Trigger's encounters genuinely aggravated me and frequently took me out of the moment.

No ETA on the final video, but I've started recording footage for my Ranko Tsukigime's Longest Day project. The other day, I realized I should finish the Ranko video sooner than later while it's still in my bones as I've actually been practicing a little No More Heroes lately.

I finished my paperback of The Great Dune Trilogy recently, and it was a heck of a ride. A good man finishes what he started, so I bought the next three novels, even ordering the contemporary editions from the same publisher to have a matching set.

While I've talked before about MGSV being yet another "missing link" that doesn't complete the chain, and winds up adding some weird story implications, Peace Walker also suffers from the same problems to a lesser extent, and is likely part of the reason why MGSV had those problems to begin with.

A funny thing about Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is that while it may be "less bloody," the violence coming across differently for the reasons Suda 51 states below, I find that the gore/violence hit more effectively than the try-hard, cartoonish nonsense found in most other 2010s GHM games.

Among the many inspirations for the game Furi, No More Heroes is explicitly one of them, to no surprise. Ikaruga, (another favorite of mine) is mentioned, too, also to no surprise. The developers also talk a little about indie game pricing. www.camseyeview.biz/devtalk/2016...
Cam’s Eye View: What would you say inspired you to make Furi?

 The Game Bakers: There are various inspirations in gaming for sure. Games like Super Punch Out, No More Heroes, Metal Gear Solid. With super cool boss fights and awesome characters. But I think the initial desire to make a game based on duels are movies like Old Boy (Park Chan Wook), The Duellists (Ridley Scott) or Duel (Steven Spielberg). Books like Montecristo with a great revenge story inspired as well, and Greek mythology of course. You’ll be able to understand why when you play the game ;-). Cam’s Eye View: Was Furi going to be a different kind of game before becoming this stylized action game?

 The Game Bakers: No, it’s always been clear how it would look, play, and feel. It was from the start designed to be very stylized, and very « Japanese » in its gameplay. Skill-based, responsive, fast-paced.

 

 Cam’s Eye View: For the combat, what games did you reference inspiration or design ideas from?

 The Game Bakers: Gameplay-wise, Furi combines long-range combat and short-range combat. The shooting part is inspired by bullet hell shoot’em up like Darius, Gradius, Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun. The swordfight and close combat part is more inspired by Super Punch Out, it’s a game of with a simple three steps pattern: get warned-react-punish. But the controls and the end result is obviously very different than Punch Out. Cam’s Eye View: The indie scene is definitely a competitive, but creative scene in the gaming industry, but if there was one thing you could change about it, what would it be?

 The Game Bakers: In terms of pricing, I think the race to the bottom has a negative impact for everybody: the devs, the players. If games had higher prices, you would be paying more attention to what you play, you would be more careful to what you buy, more patient to give the game a try after you bought it. If I have a 300$ gaming budget yearly, I want to play six or seven memorable games. Not fifteen games with only one or two that I love. I think price is still a very efficient filter for quality. If it’s expensive and crap, people will let you know. If it’s cheap, the difference between good and great is harder to notice. Cam’s Eye View: If Furi does well, would you say the game opens itself up for a sequel? What would be next kind of game for you at The Game Bakers?

 The Game Bakers: If Furi does INCREDIBLE, and players send me flowers and love letters to get a sequel, I’d love to make that happen, but the game was designed to be a whole by itself. I could totally make a different game with the same kind of gameplay, like what Bloodborne is to Dark Souls, for instance.

(No More Heroes) Unlike the Wii version, all slot machine powers in Heroes' Paradise are stocked, and can be manually activated or saved for money. A funny side effect is that it's quite easy to wind up with enough money to pay for the first entry fee before Sylvia can even tell you about them.
