The Making of Guxt - Translated by Shih Tzu

Pixel recently posted a little “making of ”http://homepage2.nifty.com/rochet/storage/guxt_1020_wz.zip" title=“Direct link to Guxt” >Guxt" feature on his website, which Shih Tzu was kind enough to translate to English for all us gaijin. Thanks, Shih Tzu — you rock!

The feature, er, features screen grabs of the game in development, with notes describing what was being worked on at each point. It’s a pretty cool window into the acclaimed game designer’s creative process and an interesting read for folks wondering what it’s like to make a game. (Man, I would love to see an afterword for Cave Story as well, or maybe a postmortem or two!)

View the translated Making of Guxt online here.

Download the zip (with bonus screen grabs!) here.

Thanks again, Shih Tzu! Excellent work, as always.

Almost! :)

I wanted to get this online while I had the chance. (Still gotta do moving stuff through the weekend.)

But I got a new computer (!!!), a nice studio setup, and I’ll be back for reals as soon as I can get the cable guy to come over and hook up my internets. Hopefully… this week?

Hey that’s really interesting seeing Pixel’s process. I just wish there was an easy difficulty setting for Guxt, my reflexes are nowhere near as good as Pixel’s.
