Notable quotes
“managing the entire team. Meaning, like, these designers are working with suppliers... coordinating all of that all of those people all of the working parts into production without a doubt that is like a big majority of that role as lead designer”
“I'm a J-pop realist... I know that there are some J-pop games that I think, quite frankly, are just complete fucking garbage. Like, retro atomic zombie adventure land? Fucking garbage.”
“code's got to come along. We're going to need more code. But the things you cannot change are things that are in the A category already.”
“I'm tired of the whole like the fucking like hardcore heavy metal screaming. Wub, wub, wub, shoot this tank in space, wub. This was awesome. So, no, absolutely opposite... don't – please, Stern, don't change this music.”
“It's borderline wrong to do it... there's a line between taking a project that didn't work and bringing it to fruition if there was merit to it. But nothing about the design.”
“I think he's just been given credit because he has, I think, just out of sheer luck in the Williams era... he's always had really good art. So people love the art, and then they think they like him as a designer.”
