Daisuke Ishiwatari, Game Creator

In a new Game Creator special, we spend a day with Ishiwatari Daisuke, creator of the world-renowned versus fighting game series “Guilty Gear”. We will first explore Ishiwatari’s work environment, where he not only directs the Guilty Gear games, but also composes the music, writes the scenario and also handles game and character design. During our time at the office, we will also meet with Toshimichi Mori, Ishiwatari’s “comrade-in-arms” and rival, who produces the BlazBlue series. Both will share their visions on game creation and their work. In the second part of the episode, we head over to the Minato Mirai area, to follow Ishiwatari during his favorite pastime, walking. During his long walks, he finds the time to clear his ideas and think of new additions to make to his games. In front of the vistas from the Yamashita and Minato no Mieru Oka parks, Ishiwatari is reminded of his childhood spent in South Africa, and how this scenery is different from the overly urban Tokyo.
