Naka-san on his current company status:

ご質問があったのでお答えしますと、プロぺは2017年4月末で事業を縮小して私１人の会社になりました。今年の6月で7年になるバディモンスターは運営会社様にお願いしてあります。もしよろしければプロぺのアプリや3DSのすれちがい迷宮やすれちがいフィッシング、そして僕が約20年ぶりに一部プログラムを

— Yuji Naka / 中　裕司 (@nakayuji) March 24, 2019

そして僕が約20年ぶりに一部プログラムをしたレジェンドオブコイン等を遊んで頂けると嬉しいです。
基本的にプロぺの仕事は土日に書類関連をやっている程度です。平日はスクウェアエニックスでみなさんに楽しんで頂けるようなゲームを作っています。https://t.co/VrovbO69Ya

— Yuji Naka / 中　裕司 (@nakayuji) March 24, 2019

"I'm answering since I was asked about it; PROPE shrunk the company size by the end of April 2017 and now I am the only one who belongs to it. The "Buddy Monster" which will have its 7th anniversary this June is being taken care of by the operating company. If you would like to, I'll be happy if you play PROPE's apps or games for 3DS such as "StreetPass Mansion / Monster Manor" and "StreetPass Fishing / Ultimate Angler", and "Legend of Coins" which I did a part of programming again after about 20 years from the last time.
I basically only do documentation works and such for PROPE on weekends. On weekdays, I'm developing games for everyone to enjoy at SQUARE ENIX."


It's been about a year since Naka-san joined SQUARE ENIX. I'm glad he is doing fine and having fun developing games there!

Mazin-san at old SEGA HQ once again - the logo is now all gone

News from 2019.03.24
Archived on 2019.04.15

Like Naka-san did few days ago, Mazin-san also re-re-visited the old SEGA HQ for the xth times - and tweeted his sadness over the main building without the SEGA logo.
The logo he stated several times before the takedown (here, or there) that would have taken with him if possible, is now comletely gone to nowhere.

セガロゴもなくなったので、もう何のビルか分からんなぁ。 pic.twitter.com/eRHiCBTWe2

Seeing the place he worked for decades to change to something totally foreign must feel weird.

Mystery of an image of NiGHTS was solved!

A fan of NiGHTS had a question and Ohshima-san answered it! Another mystery from years was solved on this day.

Actually, maybe I'll ask...@NaotoOhshima: I found this screenshot of NiGHTS a long time ago, but this shot doesn't appear in the game. Where is it from? Thank you! https://t.co/FWnuP49BPk

This was made for the OP. But that might have been cut.

— Naoto Ohshima (@NaotoOhshima) March 22, 2019

So the image was made for the opening scene of the game, but it was cut out by the end.
I wonder where the image came from then?

SEGA Official becomes a Taiyaki producer?!

SEGA Official becomes a Taiyaki producer?!

The person behind SEGA Official is trying out new recipe for Taiyaki again!
She already arranged a new recipe once with Natto and it became a popular menu for SEGA's Taiyaki Shop. What sort of cool idea does she have this time?

できた。

うん、コンビーフの塩気とチーズの相性バッチリだし、たい焼きの生地でもたぶん美味しいと思う。ゲームの合間の軽食にもぴったり。

よーし、明日「#セガのたい焼き」の企画書を書くぞー📝#本業ナンなん pic.twitter.com/kcX9QQnCSU

— セガ公式アカウント (@SEGA_OFFICIAL) March 21, 2019

"Done.
Yes, the combination of corned beef's saltiness and cheese is perfect, and I think they will be tasty together in Taiyaki dough. It's also good for light meal between gaming.
Alright, I'll write up a plan for SEGA's Taiyaki tomorrow! (What's my main job actually?)"

"Since I am a very active person, I came to the Ikebukuro branch of SEGA's Taiyaki shop. They will kindly try out my recipe."

なんの試作品かというと、セガのたい焼きコンビーフ味の試作品です。昨日チーズと相性がいいことがわかったので、たい焼き用のプロセスチーズもトッピングしたいと思います。

「創造は生命」の精神を、フットワークで補うただただ愚直なやり方ですが、やってTRY💪#セガのたい焼き pic.twitter.com/BMdrIxs6zM

"What recipe you ask me? It's the SEGA Taiyaki's corned beef tryout. I realized it fits well with cheese, so we are using processed cheese as a topping.
It's a straightforward way to follow our company's motto 'Creation is Life' with my footwork - TRY anything! "

It actually looks pretty good! It reminds me of crepe with salty fillings. Sweet Taiyaki dough and salty cheese + corned beef sounds perfect! I wanna try it out...

Update on JUDGEMENT sales suspention: Game will be released as planned after replacement of character model and voice

News from 2019.03.22
Archived on 2019.04.15

As reported in my former article, the sales of new SEGA game "JUDGEMENT" had been suspended due to arrestment of Pierre Taki, the face model and voice actor for Hamura, a character with major role in the game.

Today, SEGA announced an update on the situation as follows:

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the character model and Japanese voice for the character of Kyohei Hamura will be adjusted for the Western release of Judgment, launching on June 25, 2019.

— SEGA (@SEGA) March 22, 2019

Screenshots and trailers featuring Hamura have been temporarily removed from all of SEGA’s official channels. Updated versions of these materials will be made available at a later date.

— SEGA (@SEGA) March 22, 2019

That's a good news! They are going to replace Hamura's model and voice to remove sales suspention in Japan and release the game to the west as planned. They must be working very hard to make up for the unforeseen circumstances, and it shows their sincere attitude towards fans.
Let's look forward to the release!
