One of my last and favorite interviews of the year. Ryuichi Nishizawa might be my hero? www.gamesradar.com/games/i-feel...
"I feel a strong need to prevent Japanese-style game development from being lost": 40-year games veteran argues Japan devs should make "unapologetically Japanese" games
"If we create what only we can create, the world will gladly accept it"

[Fan TL] Tobira no Densetsu is out
A cult classic in Japan, this game is particularly famous for being a 100 hours long RPG, yet remaining absolutely free
The translation was done mostly solo

The art of Milano's Odd Job Collection is done by Maki Ohzora, who also did the art for my personal favorite Sega Genesis game: Monster World IV. There may even be a few references to it in Milano...
