Please tell us a little bit about yourself.
#I call myself SparkWingGames on places like Twitter, but please feel free to call me ãã±ãã (SpaWi). At the company I used to work for, I was involved in the development of mobile games. I also occasionally did work as a back-end and Unity engineer. Currently, I mainly work as a Web engineer and programmer, and make games as a hobby.
How did you get started making games?
#I have been interested in game development since I was a child. When I graduated from high school, I was torn between going to a vocational school for video game creators, or going to a regular four-year university. After weighing my options and taking into account both the cost of tuition and my post-graduation options, I enrolled in a local four-year university. After that, I entered an IT company as a new graduate, but changed jobs after that. I was assigned to the game development department at my next company, and that was how I got started working on games. During this time, mobile games were starting to ramp up in popularity, and I was involved in the development and operation of some of those booming mobile and smartphone games.
I started working on games on my own starting around 2021. When I was working on the production of large-scale smartphone games at my company, my contributions were but a fraction of what went into the final product, and felt that it would be difficult to make an entire game on my own. And I felt a growing distance between the sorts of games and genres that I enjoy playing, and the direction that profit-driven smartphone games had taken. Around that time, game engines such as Unity and Godot had started spreading in the public awareness. I felt that with these tools, I could create a small game by myself, and so I got started developing my own games.
What does your general game-making process look like?
#My process for making games is very different depending on whether it is for a game jam or not.
When I participate in game jams, there are restrictions such as deadlines and following the theme of the jam. Because of this, my goal is to make my game within a set of clearly defined parameters, which makes it surprisingly easy to work on. For example, in a one-week game jam, I set a schedule with one day for planning, two days for programming, two days to create the game assets, and two days for debugging and fine-tuning. My plans often change significantly during this process, but I would say that this is the advantage of solo development. I like the flexibility that this allows me to change the game on the fly, and to consider whether the implementation of certain elements would be easy to carry out.
On the other hand, when I make games outside of jams, my process is essentially trial-and-error. If there are no restrictions, the scope of my project will spread out too far and it becomes difficult to rein it in. If there are no deadlines, the project tends to be hard to keep in check and to make progress. I was able to successfully complete work on TANITANI WIZARD, but I've run into several issues with my current project, and development has stalled out. But I also think that running into problems and finding better solutions is just part of game development.
Can you tell us about some of your favorite games and genres?
#It's hard to narrow it down to just one game that I like the best, so here are five games that I like in particular:
- Outer Wilds
- 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Undertale
- Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
As you can tell, I'm especially drawn to games where the story and game systems are tightly intertwined. Among them, Undertale can be said to be the gold standard of indie games, and I myself once got really into the engine it was made in, GameMaker. This is one of my favorite game engines.
In terms of playtime, I spend a lot of time playing roguelike/roguelite games and card games. The more difficult, the easier it is for me to become addicted. However, because that tendency disrupts my everyday life, I have recently started limiting myself from playing such games.
For more games that I like, I have recorded them on my blog. If you are interested, please take a look.
Please tell us about TANITANI WIZARD!
#TANITANI WIZARD is a bullet hell shooting game where you can destroy everything. This sense of total destruction escalates until the final stage, where you destroy even the city and its inhabitants. It is a bit extreme, but this is also a feature of the game.
The divide between people who are very good at bullet hell shooting games and those who are very bad is quite stark, so this game has three difficulty settings: EASY/NORMAL/HARD. Since there are unlimited continues and you keep your power-ups if you die, it is designed to be relatively easy to clear even for those who are not good at bullet hell shooting games.
If you manage to clear the game on a single life, the entire playtime is around fifteen minutes. It is a small-scale game that allows you to experience a variety of stages within a short span of time.
What was your greatest influence when making TANITANI WIZARD?
#The greatest influence when I was making this game was King's Knight, released by Squaresoft for the Famicom, and the shooting game Guwange by CAVE that used to run in arcades.
First, King's Knight was a game that I played when I was a kid, and even now I can vividly remember its high difficulty and the exhilaration of destroying every object on the field. I wanted to recreate that feeling of destruction, and that idea was what first led me to make a shooting game.
As for Guwange, it was my favorite among all the arcade fighting and shooting games that I regularly played. Even for a bullet hell, this was a very intense game, but it had a unique system that allowed you to slow down bullets using the shikigami that you controlled. I used that system as a reference for the mechanism in TANITANI WIZARD that lets you slow down enemy bullets.
The tanishi snails in this game are trustworthy and adorable. What was the reason for choosing tanishi snails?
#I don't really know why I added tanishi snails. (laughs) I based its design off the mascot for the community Idobata. (ed. note: äºæžç«¯ idobata means "around the well," and is used for a group of people making chit-chat.)
I felt that a system that slows down enemy fire like in Guwange, combined with the sticky mucus that snails secrete, would make a great combination. So I created the tanishi snail as a companion character for the player. Of course, I also like all kinds of snails in real life because they are charming. However, when it comes to slugs, which do not have shells and are considered pests, I have no tolerance for them, and often exterminate them.
What was the most challenging part of making TANITANI WIZARD?
#There were two issues that were particularly challenging during the development of TANITANI WIZARD.
One was that I was making bullet hell patterns for the first time. It was difficult to prepare different attack patterns for the enemies, but I also enjoyed working on them. Among them, I had the most trouble with the boss characters. The boss characters switch up their movement and attack patterns depending on their remaining health, and I encountered and had to fix many bugs that popped up. As a result, the source code would be considered unforgivably messy had I been working in a team. Still, I realized that the ability to quickly implement changes and prioritize completing the game over having clean and beautiful code was an advantage of working as a solo developer.
Another challenge was creating the game graphics using my own pixel art. I spent most of my time making this art. Because my background was originally in programming, I was not very good at making art, so I ended up spending more time on it than I had anticipated. However, I think it was worth spending the time on these sprites because I can reuse them in future game projects.
The cute and fun pixel art left a strong impression on us. How did you become interested in pixel art? Are there any pixel artists or works that you can recommend?
#I got interested in pixel art from the games of the Famicom and Super Famicom generations. The games that I encountered as a child were expressed through pixel art, and I was strongly pulled to its unique charm. I wanted my own games to capture the charm and fun of those games, and so that's part of the reason why I went with pixel art for my work.
And one reason why I love indie games is because many of them also use pixel art. When thinking about the scale of production and working with available resources, pixel art can be said to be an ideal visual expression for games created by individuals or small teams. I used to be involved with the development of 3D games, but I feel that it would be a high hurdle to clear on my own. That experience deepened my appreciation of pixel art.
Regarding pixel art work, I would like to recommend Earthbound. The unique color balance and slightly off-putting pixel art still fascinates me to this day.
You've participated in many game jams in the past such as GMTK and Mini Jam. Can you tell us what is the appeal of entering in game jams?
#One of the biggest draws of participating in a game jam is the deadline and theme limitations. These limits help me to realize my ideas and ride them to completion. When I first started developing games, I realized how difficult it is to complete a piece, and I think that game jams are the perfect place to practice.
Game jams also give participants the opportunity to get feedback on their work from their peers, and I really look forward to this. By seeing how other creators evaluate my work, and seeing what kinds of games they made, I can get inspiration for new ideas and look for areas of improvement in my own work.
On top of that, some game jams allow you to play a ton of other people's games. There are many unique works here that cannot be experienced in commercial releases, and by playing them, you can gain new perspectives and ideas. And due to the tight deadline of the jam, you will inevitably encounter many low-quality entries. But by playing them, we can reflect on the "obvious quality" of games that we normally enjoy. For example, if the controls are frustrating, you will lose motivation to keep playing before the game can become interesting; and if there is too much camera shake, you will find that your eyes get tired and you won't be able to play for long periods of time.
However, participating in game jams also has its drawbacks. One of them is the fatigue that hits afterwards. You need to maintain a high level of concentration and energy during the jam, and it's easy to burn out once it's over. I think it's a good idea to take some time off after participating.
Can you tell us about any other games you worked on in the past?
#Moon Hammer was my entry to my first game jam, the GMTK Game Jam 2021. It is a simple game that can be played using only the up and down keys, and because it's easy to pick up and was easy to make, I gained confidence in my ability to create games. I was very happy when Nice Gear Games streamed it, and it's a work with a lot of strong memories.
SlotMachineDungeon was made for Mini Jam 114: Anime². I personally enjoy playing this game, and I received a lot of feedback. I wanted to expand on this game after the jam ended, but afterwards, I got burned out for a while and took a break from game development.
PUSH TANISHI PUZZLE is a game I made independently from any jams. This is a simple Sokoban-type puzzle game, and I gave it a personal touch by using pixel art that I had made myself. The experience I gained from making this game was an important step on my journey to make TANITANI WIZARD.
You've worked with many different genres. Can you tell us which has been your favorite to work with so far?
#The game genre that I enjoyed working with the most is simulation RPG, and I especially liked working on FallenAngelSaga. I've always loved SRPGs like the Fire Emblem series, the Super Robot series, and Majin Tensei 2, so it was a great pleasure to be able to create such games on my own. It was a bit difficult to balance the different numbers and stats, but I won't forget the sense of accomplishment I felt whenever I got that balance just right.
But on the other side, I struggled to create levels in the latter half of PUSH TANISHI PUZZLE, my Sokoban-type game. This led me to the realize, "I am not suited to make puzzle games!" However, in its own way, this was an opportunity for me to learn new things and to broaden my horizons as a game developer.
Can you tell us about anything you are currently working on?
#I was addicted to playing Vampire Survivors-like games for a while, and that made me want to create my own, but that project got stalled out. I programmed the basics and designed the UI, but when I reached the phase where I needed to churn out a high volume of content such as skills and enemy characters, progress petered out. I was also dealing with a major change in my private life, and that might have had an effect.
When making a game as a hobbyist rather than a professional, it is easy to hit setbacks along the way. However, at the same time, it is also an advantage to be able to easily abandon projects. From this experience, I feel that making games with a high volume of content may not be for me. At the moment, I want to focus more on making short games.
Do you have any messages for your players?
#I would like to express my gratitude to all of the players who enjoyed the pixel art games that I've made. I love retro pixel art games as well, and I hope more people enjoy them. So far in my life, I've experienced being rescued from troubles and sadness through the sheer enjoyment of video games. And there is still a mountain of titles I haven't played yet, and that motivates me to live a long and healthy life! I want the games that I make to be a part of someone else's life. By making such games, I hope to repay the kindness I have received through games.
