Yuji Naka and life after Sonic |
Ó
Sonic Team, a group of Sega programmers/designers. He now heads a new game developing studio, Prope">Yuji Naka has been pretty quiet since leaving Sega's Sonic Team to form Prope last year. The legendary game designer, whose credits include the original Sonic the Hedgehog, NiGHTS, and the Phantasy Star series, finally talked about life after Sonic in a recent interview with CVG. Here are a few snippets:Leaving Sega. "Well, there's a support program at Sega for game designers who want to go independent, and my feelings about this program were the same as Sega's," Naka explained "Sega wanted me to be the first of their game creators to get involved with this program - to act as my business partner and co-operate with Prope."
Exclusives or multiplatform titles? "For each project, we'll consider which formats are best suited to what we're trying to achieve. But we really want as many players as possible to enjoy our games, so we're not going to limit ourselves to one format or one manufacturer."
Apart from saying that he currently has no plans of revisiting any of his old Sega properties (NiGHTS, for one, is reportedly making the jump to the Nintendo Wii), Naka declined to reveal more details on what Prope is currently working on. It's sure to be an original IP, though, as Naka also said in the interview that they "only want to create original entertainment."
