Welcome to Tasty Bits. For this first episode, I sat down with Dmitry Cluev over gyoza in Tokyo. He is the founder of Nagai Industries and the creator of InKONBINI, a cozy convenience store simulator set in 90s Japan. We talked about his love for Shenmue, his move to Japan to build his own studio, and how Japanese culture shaped the look and sound of InKONBINI. He then opens up the real challenges of making a game on your own before sharing us a playlist that captures his mood of the moment. Big thanks to Nakai-san at Hatsumimi for having us.
