Hello everyone, Mazer here and I would like to take some time talk about the passion of “Middle-Tier” developers. That is, developers of video games who do not make so-called “AAA” titles, but instead these smaller games that tend to reflect their personal interests and passions.

However, I would like to take this time to apologize for our lack of content recently. To make a long story short – things have just been too hectic and too hot for me to sit at my home computer to write. Seriously, it is currently 21:38 as I write this and my phone tells me that it is 105 degrees outside. It’s insane.

That said, I would like to take a moment to share with you this clip from our most recent Live Stream: No More Heroes 3.

No More Heroes is about an otaku named Travis Touchdown who wants to be the world’s best assassin. Why? Well the answer is simple. So he can get laid, of course! I’d go into further detail but that’s a story for another post.

The series is the brain child of Goichi Suda, otherwise known as Suda51. He tends to include his passions into his games; passions such as music, anime, horror movies, and sci-fi. Every one of his games from Lollipop Chainsaw to No More Heroes is just oozing with personality and style. It’s no reason why I love his games. And as of last Friday, I finally completed his latest game: No More Heroes 3.

Now it is a tradition of mine to share my thoughts and feelings on a game during the ending credits. No More Heroes 3 was no exception. This time, however, I went into a little rant concerning my love for auteurs like Suda51. About how their games come from a place of love instead of a cooperate office.

I would like to share that rant with you today. So please, sit back, have a drink, and let’s gush about these passionate, and talented, developers.
