After playing that, I felt that Phoenotopia’s origins derived from there…. Phoenotopia was influenced by “Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.” I thought I should play that before this interview, so I cleared it a few days ago. Ochoko I see.So there were some concerns with the physical version. It turns out the publisher I'm working with is a bit of an amateur in this industry too, and they once made the mistake of forgetting the ratings logo on the box and getting in trouble with our country's ratings board.
The whole process of producing physical goods used to seem so foreign, but after getting a peek behind the scenes, it wasn't as scary as I thought. However, things like creating the keychain was really fun! You can order them from an online website - you just have to order in bulk and specify exactly what you need, but it's not much tougher than ordering from Amazon.

You'll also need to apply their ratings logo and serial codes on the box art which makes it look uglier. The age ratings board will scrutinize your game more intensely for the age rating, and they charge a big fee (there's no fee if your game is digital only). There's a lot more red tape and bureaucracy if you want to launch a game physically over digitally. And I have been impressed by many things! While I haven't held a physical copy yet, I have worked with the physical publisher to decide things like the art for the boxes and what collectible goodies go inside the box. I did order a copy of another game from the same publisher I'm working with (Premium Edition Games) to ensure they were capable.
I'll receive a physical copy at the same time when everyone else gets a physical. I've actually yet to hold the physical version of Phoenotopia in my hands myself. Is there anything that impressed you about this packaging that you didn't have when you produced the downloadable version? In fact, I have already pre-ordered the retro version and am looking forward to its arrival. Ochoko First of all, congratulations on releasing the Phoenotopia physical/retail version. Now, I would like to ask Ochoko to take it from here. (lol) So today, I would like to ask you questions with that intention. Kou has asked me to "Please ask Quang maniacal questions that only Phenotopia fans can ask". I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity today. Ochoko My name is "Ochoko," and I am the creator of the Phoenotopia Awakening's strategy support blog. Now then, Ochoko, could you give us a brief self-introduction? What I don't do is graphics, art, and music - I rely on my teammates for that.
We're a very small studio, so I also did most of the story writing, sound effects, level layouts and so forth. It was a long hard road filled with trial, error, and learning, but I think I made it out okay.įor Phoenotopia, I'm the programmer and director. When I was 25, I decided to quit my job and go full-time into indie games development. Getting a job at Nintendo seemed unrealistic, but games like Cave Story, which was created by one man, impressed upon me that there were other avenues to scratch the creative itch I felt. (I can speak Japanese! Just a little bit.)Īfter college, I worked as a programmer for a couple of tech companies, but I still burned with a desire to create games. I even minored in Japanese when I was in college. I loved video games and anime when I was growing up and it was a childhood dream of mine to join Nintendo and create Zelda games one day. I was born in America to Vietnamese parents.
