Masayasu Yamamoto – 2007 Developer Interview (Patreon)

https://shmuplations.com/valis/

This interview with programmer Masayasu Yamamoto originally appeared in the Game Shokunin book. In the 1980s Yamamoto worked on PC-88 and X1 games at Nihon Telnet, and in the 90s he made SFC and PSX games for Climax and Matrix. Today he works at Chunsoft. The main focus here is Valis, but he also touches on other games, including the unusual MSX shooter Androgynous. 

This is the first interview to be featured at the new redesign! I'll be posting more about that soon, so stay tuned!
