Inti Creates has a second self-funded title in development
Azure Striker Gunvolt isn’t the only independent title Inti Creates is working on. A second self-funded project is also planned, according to Inti Creates CEO Takuya Aizu.
Aizu told Siliconera:
“We are running five projects [at the moment], And there is one project, apart from Gunvolt, that uses self-funding. However, that may change in the future—whether we finance it entirely ourselves or not.”
“We also run projects in cooperation [with other companies]. If Gunvolt succeeds, we can increase our self-published projects. So please support Inti Creates!”
Aizu also said the following when asked about Inti Creates’ split in development staff between original development and games being developed and funded by other publishers:
“At first, we make a prototype with a small number of people, and then increase the staff assigned to it at the production stage. On the other hand, most games for publishers make use of a great number of people from the beginning. Thus, when making games for publishers, the staff ratio increases.”
“If Gunvolt or Mighty No. 9 is a hit, I think that we may increase the ratio of our staff assigned to original development to half. But at the same time, we won’t stop development for publishers.”
