Warning Forever, Interview For Right Now

wfor.gif Our fave interviewblog Little Mathletics (whose Alistair Wallis may be helping out GSW with some interviews soon!) has posted a great chat with 'Warning Forever' creator Hizoka T. Ohkubo, and the intro sets things up really nicely regarding the Japanese 'dojin' title.

The piece explains: "If you were at all unconvinced about the amount of inventiveness in indie games, you'd do well to look at Hizoka T Ohkuba's Warning Forever. Like bullet hell shmups, but don't want to go through the drag of fighting your way through levels to get up to the bosses? This is the game for you."

Interestingly, Ohkuba talks (for the first time in English?) about his next game, commenting: "'I'm working on a follow-up now, but it's been slow recently because I've been busy with my job. I'm aiming to get it finished sometime this year, but I'm sure you'll understand if it doesn't get done. Knowing that I'm a fan of the retro type 2D games, like Warning Forever, you would think that would be what I'm making, but the next one will be an action game in 3D. It will be like Warning Forever in the way that it will be simple, and you will be able to play it at any time."
