Death Stranding and Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima recently sat down to answer questions from his fans in an interview with Anan News<\/a>. Apart from talking about personal trivia (such as his attraction to smart women who do science), the game director also gave interesting insights about his mindset as a creator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kojima thinks that the most important thing a game creator should strive for is to make games they\u2019re personally satisfied with. \u201cI cannot put out a game that I don’t feel convinced by.\u201d While it may sound obvious at first, Kojima is talking about it in the sense of making something that you wouldn\u2019t mind representing you even in the distant future, when you\u2019re long gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor starters, the way art is evaluated changes with the times. Just as paintings are appraised 100 or 200 years after the artist\u2019s death, games and films also remain as  objects to be passed down through generations after their creators pass away. If I make something I\u2019m satisfied with, centuries later aliens may come and say, \u201cthat\u2019s awesome.\u201d I think that\u2019s what it means to leave something behind,\u201d Kojima explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Death<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, in an answer to a separate question, the director says that he considers himself lucky to have encountered games in his life, and that he hopes to continue making them even in the afterlife,  \u201cto entertain the dead.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kojima Productions is currently working on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, which is scheduled to launch for the PS5 in 2025, as well as OD and Physint (working title). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
