Edge<\/a> that he’s preparing his own creation now.<\/p> “I’m helping with some social games in Japan; I can’t say anything about it just yet. But I’m just helping,” Mizuguchi told Edge. “So I want to start a new project [of my own] maybe this year or next year.”<\/p>
He says that this new project will not be created in a traditional studio. Instead, he’ll connect with others on a freelance basis, similar to how you’d make a film or music. Mizuguchi is also not opposed to mobile games and free-to-play models. <\/p>
While he didn’t have much to reveal on this new project, maybe his reference to his BitSummit talk on synaesthesia was a bit of a hint.<\/p>
“I started that kind of concept in games with Rez<\/em>, and this is a long journey, across Rez<\/em> and Lumines<\/em> and Child Of Eden<\/em>, and maybe Space Channel 5<\/em> too. That part of my DNA will never die, so this is kind of a life’s work for me. So I’m thinking about what is next, and what’s the future experience.”<\/span><\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":104,"featured_media":146024,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[662,2083],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":104,"display_name":"Dale
