西側諸国への拡大への慎重なアプローチ
飯塚氏は、日本のサブカルチャーやアニメに根ざしたゲームを作るというスパイク・チュンソフトの強みを認めています。 アドベンチャー ゲームがそのアイデンティティの中心であることに変わりはありませんが、彼は他のジャンルへの段階的な多様化を構想しています。 BitSummit Driftで講演した同氏は、「他のジャンルも混合に加えたい」と述べたが、専門知識のないジャンルへの進出を避けるために「ゆっくりと思慮深いステップを踏む」と述べ、慎重なアプローチの重要性を強調した。 彼は、集中的な開発の必要性を認識し、FPS や格闘ゲームへの突然の移行を明確に否定しました。
アニメスタイルの物語を超えて
アニメ スタイルの物語ゲームで知られていますが、スパイク チュンソフトのポートフォリオは驚くほど多様です。 彼らはスポーツ (マリオ & ソニック AT リオ 2016 オリンピック競技大会)、格闘技 (ジャンプ フォース)、レスリング (ファイヤー プロレスリング) に手を出してきました。さらには、Disco Elysium: The Final Cut などの人気の洋楽タイトルを日本で出版していることもあります。 サイバーパンク 2077 (PS4)、および ウィッチャー シリーズ。
ファンの忠誠心は依然として最重要
ファンの満足に対する飯塚の取り組みは揺るぎないものです。 同氏は、「私たちはファンを大切にし続けたいと思っています...一度訪れたら何度も戻ってくるファンがいるような出版社になりたいと思っています。」と述べ、忠実なファンベースを育成したいという願望を強調しました。 彼は人気のタイトルを継続的に配信することを約束しながら、物事を盛り上げるための予期せぬサプライズもほのめかしました。 結局のところ、彼の決断は、長年スパイク・チュンソフトをサポートしてきたファンに対する深い敬意によって導かれました。 彼は「私たちは彼らを裏切りたくない」とキッパリ言いました。
