This past September, Bokeh Game Studio shared insight about the motion capture process for Slitterhead in a developer diary video. The video focuses on the work done by cutscene director Minoru Kusakabe, who previously worked with Toyama on the Siren and Gravity Rush series.
Bokeh Game Studio’s long running video series, Golden Hour, sees Toyama share a drink with various game developers and artists to discuss their backgrounds and the horror genre. The latest Golden Hour video featured Junji Ito, the legendary manga author behind works like Tomie and Uzumaki.
