This “Success Story” feature originally ran in the 3/89 issue of BEEP magazine, and as the name suggests, offered interview profiles of twelve different game designers. It’s light fare overall, but their candid and sometimes critical advice for aspiring game developers makes for some interesting reading now.
In addition to big names like Shigeru Miyamoto, there are lesser known designers and composers, such as three early Nihon Falcom luminaries and Nobuyuki Ohnogi (whose recent passing in August was actually the impetus for translating this small time capsule). Today I’ve included six of these profiles and will probably translate the remainder at another time.
