Comment Crazy game ideas (Score 2) 112

I found this page recently, it's scans of a Japanese magazine interview where Hayao Miyazaki (of Ghibli) talks with Shigeru Miyamoto about game ideas. It was in the '90s.

I don't have time to translate the thing, so maybe someone here could try?

There's a part where Miyazaki seems to be proposing a open-world game where you could be a WWII pilot flying off on a mission - or stay on the ground and grow potatos until you're captured by the Americans.

Shigeru's response: "Hmmm"

I bet he's had to deal with a lot of strange ideas over the years :D

>Look at that scene in "The Man Who Fell To Earth" where Newton invents an instant camera.

A movie where Issac Newton inventing a camera sounded interesting, so I looked it up.

So it's actually about David Bowie as an alien names Thomas Newton who comes to Earth to help save his home planet, becomes wealthy off of patents, and addicted to alcohol.

This I gotta see.

Comment Minimalism (Score 2) 323

A company whose design aesthetic (famously) is minimalism should not go around accusing others of copying them.

Minimalism is about getting down to the bare nature of things. Every other design would be an additive change, so they potentially have the ability to sue everyone else regardless of how different the design is if they can get away with this lawsuit.
