    Touch Music Night Talk: Buying the Future of the Game Industry

    The author looks back at the many Early Access games in their Steam library, noting that Tale of Immortal: Tianmu Weixin took 8 years to reach 1.0 while Project Zomboid remains in Early Access after 12 years.

    Why Would Strawberry Music Festival Host a Game Expo?

    Modern Sky's Game House teamed up with Haoyou Kuaibao to set up a game expo area at the Guangzhou Strawberry Music Festival that ended in late September, offering demos of over a dozen titles including Under the Fog Sea, Gui Huan and Hungry Wilderness, with Infinity and Lili's Little People Country also hosting reservation booths. Game House head Zhao Yue said music festivals need content to fill idle time while game expos struggle to give non-hit titles exposure, making the two a natural fit. Haoyou Kuaibao said it is targeting the 18-to-25-year-old general entertainment crowd who would not normally visit a game expo but might be interested in games.

    NieR Creator Yoko Taro Says He Would Retire From Making Video Games but Fear of Dementia Keeps Him Working

    NieR franchise creator Yoko Taro said he is "done with working" and has considered retiring, as his savings and pension would be enough, but a fear of developing dementia in old age keeps him working. He said he already achieved his life goal with his first directorial project, the 2003 PS2 title Drakengard, and views everything after that as "the remainder of my life." Taro also said competition in the Japanese games industry will spread from younger to older developers, and he is currently writing an as-yet untitled Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series.
