I've Been Striving To Do This For Awhile (Patreon)

If you follow me on Twitter, you've probably seen me talk about being stressed about interviews this week. Well, those interviews finally concluded last night and I'm excited to talk about the project: we're doing a feature on the development of Guilty Gear Strive! The folks at Arc System Works were super helpful and open to speaking with us and we have over five hours of interviews with some of the team including development director Akira Katano, art director Hidehiko Sakamura, audio designers Norichika Sato and Kosuke Kanno, and of course general director Daisuke Ishiwatari covering topics such as the decisions behind the new battle system and the music and art of Strive.

Since my Japanese is elementary at best, I collaborated with the amazingly talented Discovigilante for interpretation and they knocked it out of the park. Take a look at some of their notes from our interviews this week and see if anything sticks out to you (and be sure to give them a follow too!)

Obviously, I have a lot of projects to get to before deep diving into this edit so expect the final video to hit around the end of summer/early fall! As always, projects like this would not be possible without your continued support, so many thanks and hope you're as excited about this project as I am!

More soon!
