Turn -based huge Meka Battle "WOLFSTRIDE" -An Japanese language!The title change is also due to the new Corona [Developer Interview]

―― First of all, please introduce yourself.What is your favorite game?

OTA IMON (OTA) OTA IMON, who served as a writer, artist and director of this work.He is from Brazil.

One of the most favorite games I've ever played is "Metal Gear Solid"!It has a huge impact on everything I have made so far.

――Why did the development of this work begin?

OTA I wanted to make my own style game.Since I was a kid, I liked to create characters and stories, so it was a dream to make a game where other people could actually play.

The idea of this work was born in 2016.I stopped working as a game artist to play this "bet."First of all, I started making games named "WORLD OF BLACK".This was the main character in the two small girls in the forest, but when I thought about it, I didn't know anything about a small girl.Next, I decided to make a strategy game based on the "Earth Defense Force".However, when I created a character called "Dominic Shade", this work went to an unexpected person and became like today.

――Please tell us the characteristics of this work.

I think the style and story of this work are quite distinctive.I wanted to create a memorable story with memorable characters.Also, the gameplay of this work is slightly different from other turn -based games.I wanted to make it as simple as possible so that the player could understand it immediately.

――What kind of person do you want this work to play?

I think that those who find value in the OTA story and characters will enjoy the most.There are deep lines with voices, and many people seem to have a sense of closeness to the characters.

――Are there any works influenced by this work?

"Cowboy Bap" and "Redline" were influenced by the OTA Lord.I couldn't help putting the "cowboy bebop" material.However, in this work, I tried to mix everything I liked so far."Yuyu Hakusho", "Metal Gear Solid", "Final Fantasy VII", "Megalobox", and the movie "Real Steel".I also love Japanese game directors, such as Hideo Kojima, SUDA 51, SWERY, and Yoko Otaro.

――Do you plan to support this work?

There is OTA!I'm currently working, so I'm glad if you can enjoy this work!

――Was it affected by the development of the new Coronavirus?

OTA Actually, in 2016, the game title was "Corona Black".This was because I loved Nine inch Nails' song "Corona Radiata", but I had to change the title.That was unlucky.Here in Brazil, the new Corona was quite miserable.However, the development team was able to work from home while refraining from going out.

――Is it okay to distribute or monetize this work?

OTA Yes, please do it freely!If you tag us on Twitter (@wolfstride_game and @ota_imon), we will advertise as much as possible!

―― Finally, please give a message to Japanese readers.

Hello OTA!I have been influenced by Japan for a long time.All my favorite games are Japanese games.Japanese creators are very creative and unique, and I am studying desperately.I'm really happy if everyone can enjoy this work!merry christmas!And a good year!

--thank you very much.
