All that and more is revealed in the helpful article below.

I am ashamed to say that I have this title, yet I can’t find the time to pour more than about 15 minutes into it. I really do want to get into it, but it seems like most people just passed this title up. If you do have it, what did you think of the game? Too many rabbids for your liking?

“We’re going to start moving deeper into the brain, into the perceptual realm. …I think that games will be able to absorb what we’re doing, then evolve to fit us.” – Will Wright

I think in some ways, games already art evolving to better fit the player. There are certain titles that adapt and change to the way the player works within their world. If games are going to become even more successful, this is surely the way to make it happen. A game world that adapts to the player will allow for all sorts of unique experiences, letting every player take something just a little different away from the adventure.

Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has taken to Twitter to reveal a rather big piece of news for the company. The CEO has confirmed that Level-5 will be announcing a new title in April, and went so far to say that, “Once this is announced, it will become an extremely anticipated title.” Pretty big words to hype up and unknown game!

Hino also wanted to point out that a different development team is working on this game, as other teams still toil away on their unreleased projects. The CEO didn’t want people getting worried that this title would push back other Level-5 games that have been announced, but haven’t been released yet.

Hino wrapped things up by giving a few details on the other work he’s currently taking on. That would include scenario work for the next Professor Layton game, and dialog/voice planning for Inazuma Eleven 3. Hino is dipping his toes into 4 upcoming titles, making for quite a bit of work!

If you like to hear panels about video game music, it certainly seems so! Good news is, you can just catch up on three of the best game music panels in the article below. It’s like being there at GDC…just a few days late!
