Poll Result: Patrons' Choice Topic for January 2019

Every month Phantom River Stone holds a poll among our patrons to choose a topic for the blog in the coming month. The results are in for January's topic, and the most highly-voted topic (including accumulated votes from previous months) was...

"Interview w/ Shenmue Director Keiji Okayasu on Shenmue's Development from the Saturn to the Dreamcast (December 1999)"

The December 1999 issue of the Japanese Dreamcast Magazine contained a 15-page Shenmue special to coincide with the game's release at the end of the month.

One part of the special feature was an in-depth interview with game director Keiji Okayasu. As the topic indicates, the questions cover development of Shenmue from its early beginnings, through to the still in-progress (at the time) Shenmue II.

We will be providing a full translation of the interview in English. It should make for some interesting reading!

Watch for the article later this month.
