It was a\u00a0big, famous\u00a0 project, plus it was carrying the \u201cFF\u201d series name as well, so I was highly motivated and learned a lot about different things. When it comes to creating things, I&#8217;m basically inclined to think about future-proofing it. Although I realize the the value of things in the past,\u00a0I think game developers are meant to pursue new things to be enjoyed. If we keep only reminiscing about how good old games were, we won&#8217;t be able to create great, new games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I actually love money too<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a game designer, I also like to think about game mechanics. However, since I also love money (LOL), I sometimes think how great it would be if I became a producer and made lots of big bucks. \u00a0Amata is actively expanding its business in\u00a0Asia, but\u00a0it would be fun if it could try approaching America too. \u00a0Since the American market has a different take on what\u2019s entertaining\u00a0compared to Japan, it would be a worthwhile attempt. \u00a0And to be honest, I also want to try making\u00a0arcade games, but it might be a bit more than I can chew&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Find your own path at Amata.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Amata, taking on challenges is highly acclaimed. Amata is the kind of company where, by\u00a0being willing to take on challenges, chances are given to you,\u00a0and the possibility of doing the things that you want to becoming a reality also rise. \u00a0Although it&#8217;s not trying to look eccentric, Amata is unique in many ways. Instead of seeking the same old stuff\u00a0found in the game industry, I\u2019d like for others to try and discover new things while at Amata. \u00a0You will definitely\u00a0have a chance of finding\u00a0 your own path.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;padding: 40px 0 0 0\"><span class=\"btn_text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amata.co.jp\/en\/careers\/interview\">back to index<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two nights and three days for job interviews at ten companies.
