I'd heard about the game a while ago, though with this video I found nostalgic relevance in many job roles of game design that I wanted to explore.
The game's creator - Keiji Inafune - is best known as the Co-Creator of Capcom's Mega Man franchise, and suggests that Mighty No. 9 is it's spiritual successor.
With crowd-funding websites at a dramatic peak, Kickstarter seemed to be a worthy choice for bringing the concept into reality for this game, as it reached it's $900k goal in a matter of days.
The video documentary below has some great key moments that are flourishing with nostalgia-based reminiscing throughout the team; strictly of their previous works that have been with Inafune, or heavily based on his successful career.
There are great individual and personal conversations throughout about previous works, what works, what doesn't, overall aims and pitfalls, and also what they've learnt throughout their career. It's a great watch, and so much so that the conversations had inspired thought and understanding into what indeed could be considered as good practice and good design in such diverse and important fields such as music, character design, level design and game design. Plus; fan and community services that suggest careful thought and consideration throughout the entire design process has YOU in mind.
NOTE: The video is 'unlisted' so until it isn't I can only link it for now. Enjoy.
