Suda51's Toilet Humor [GDC 2009]

In a panel called "Evolving Game Design: Today and Tomorrrow, Eastern and Western Game Design" with designers Emil Pagliarulo ("Fallout 3"), Fumito Ueda ("Ico," "Shadow of the Colossus") and Goichi Suda ("Killer7," "No More Heroes"), each person was asked to describe their general design philosophy. Suda (a.k.a. Suda51) told us his inspirations via a translator, saying, "I take a look at TV, film and games and then try to get good ideas." He added, "Being alone is very important. I go to the bathroom, I try to poop and then I will come up with an idea. This is a true story!"
