One of Microsoft’s surprise announcements at its Tokyo Game Show press conference was that Grasshopper Manufacture is working on an Xbox Live Arcade Kinect game called Codename D. If you’ve seen the trailer, you’re probably more confused about it than if you haven’t, so we took our questions to Grasshopper head Goichi Suda to see what he can say about the game at this point.
He notes that he came up with the game’s design and will be responsible for its story, but he’s serving as a producer on the game while letting other team members do the heavy lifting. Unlike Sine Mora, the game is being developed entirely at Grasshopper, without the assistance of an outside developer, and it has been in development for “a few months” at this point (though talks with Microsoft started at last year’s Tokyo Game Show).
