I know this is a bait thread but it's I think a Deadpool scenario. Leibfeld creates the character but other people actually went places with it. TOM PON, one of the asset designers for the games back in like 2015 or so did said he considered Inafune more "the responsible figure for Rockman", because while Kitamura left Capcom, Inafune was too fond of the blue guy to not push for more sequels and subseries. You can see Inafune leaving actually fucked us in the end, Capcom has no interest in Megaan outside of Gacha and 11 was middling ay best.

His influence goes far beyond Capcom:

>Though primarily known for his work in the Mega Man series, Inafune has had profound but less publicized impact on other series. In 1987, soon after being hired by Capcom, Inafune-san visited the Konami offices of a then unknown developer Hideo Kojima. Kojima confided in Inafune that his dreams of being a director and telling cinematic storylines inspired by Hollywood may come to an abrupt end before it had started, simply because of the immense problems on his first game, Metal Gear an action title for the MSX home computer.

>Kojima confided that no matter how much he or his team tried, they could not make an action game on the MSX due to its single screen nature and lack of either vertical or horizontal scrolling. Though games such as Super Mario Bros. wowed audiences in both Japan and America just a few years earlier by showing off smooth scrolling on the Japanese Famicom home console (released as the Nintendo Entertainment System or NES in America), such technology was simply not possible on the MSX.

>Inafune however did not seem as concerned as his fellow developer. "How about instead of an action game, where you fight your enemies, you make one where you run away from them. A game about a snake that crawls on his belly.". With a wink and a smirk, Inafune left without saying another word. The rest as they say, is history.

Nobody gave a shit about Deadpool, nobody read a single Deadpool comic, nobody knew his story, nobody knew any of his quotes, but they knew he was the le epic badass superhero in the demotivational posters who blew up the sun and breaks the fourth wall.

Huh, I entered this thread specifically to talk shit about Igarashi. It's infuriating how much he's hijacked authorship of Castlevania, to the extent I've seen some suckers believe he created the whole franchise. It doesn't even take a genius to realize his track record is not that great, "his" best Metroidvania was the one he had the least influence in (being just a writer and programmer promoted to director late in development) while his worst was the one he had the biggest say in and even had him coining _that_ exasperating term; nevermind the fact he was never able to truly innovate the franchise, just rehashing (admittedly good) but inferior Symphony clones and having fucked up the transition to 3D not once, not twice, but three times (last one was so shit we barely got to see anything about it before getting cancelled in favor of the pretty meh LoS)
I just wish the actual geniuses behind the franchise, Hitoshi Akamatsu (creator and director of the first 3) and Toru Hagihara (director of both RoB and SotN), would come out from wherever they are and speak up about their creations, hell, I'd gladly back a game by either if they were making one

I know Deadpool was a Copypaste of Deathstroke, but the point remains Leibfeld designed him (by ripping off Slade but hey, Mega Man takes from Astroboy and Chargeman Ken so the comparison stands) and named him while others nurtured the character.
Similar in this, with the added caviat IIRC it was Inafune who ended up coming with the name Rockman after brainstorming several names like Mighty Kid and Kid Rainbow.

He was the one who pushed for Capcom to chase both the Western Audience and Western sales numbers. Remember how Capcom used to threaten to not release certain games overseas if they didn't reach certain sales figures? That was him. In turn, a lot of other companies either tried to follow suit and failed or thought they shouldn't bother appealing to the Western market if they had to make multiple millions sellers for a game to be considered "successful",

To be fair, remember the vidya landscape back in the seventh gen. Japan was getting beat bad, all the big selling games were western (Halo, Call of Duty, GTA, Dead Space, Oblivion, Skyrim) or did relatively well if they embraced a western look (Dark Souls) or your name was Nintendo. Anime was relentlessly being mocked online as liking anything Japanese was a "nasty weeaboo thing". Japan was being seen as left behind and it was America's turn to spearhead vidya. It was the generation of brown and bloom and colorful Japanese games were not doing well at all. At the time, to change business tactics made sense and people say Capcom "got better without Inafune" now, but look at their current games. They all do that "realistic western" look, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter and Street Fighter looks more like a comicbook at this point as opposed to 90's SFII. Even this very site back in those days relentlessly paraded that Japan as relevant vidya makers were done for.

"The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers".
Here's a sample, Roy Ozaki is an ex-Capcom who went on to become part of now-defunct Mitchell Corp.:
>Roy OZAKI : Almost three sections were making arcade and console stuff. Later on it was divided betweenarcades and console. Kitamura was in section two. And he did Megaman for consoles because he wasn’t liked by his bosses. He’s a strange guy – real strange. He screwed me a lot of times. And I thought I saw through him, but I didn’t I guess. Basically he has a weak personality. He has talent, but he’s weak. He doesn’t know how to use the people who do graphics or... He just can’t get on with people. So while he was at Capcom, and they had console and arcade staff, they made him do console, because nobody wanted him.

>RO: Kitamura wanted to make Rockman 2, but Fujiwara wouldn’t allow it. They weren’t getting along. That’s why he left.

>RO: Kitamura wanted to make Rockman 2, Fujiwara always said no. But Sakai said: “You know, Kitamura got a pretty good hit with Rockman 1, so let him make it.” So Kitamura started making it, and then he got pulled into [inaudible] Nishiyama-san. Then he went to SNK, then he went to Takeru.

[Anonymous No.9241495]

>>9241494
Inafune's account:
>KI: He was an incredibly strict person! He was strict but it was because he had a real love for games. He was always in the office, slept at his desk, and he was always researching or working on the games. He taught me about the required strictness of game development. You can’t slack off. You have to do your best all the time. That’s sort of the message, of what I learned from him. Kitamura-san would sleep through the night, at his desk, and then the next morning he would do the checks for the content that I had produced the day before. Obviously he didn’t sleep so well, and since he was a very, very strict person, often some of the stuff that was good – the stuff that we had all worked on – he would say, “This is no good, and this is no good,” and so on. You could say he was a perfectionist. He was incredibly hard to please, with incredibly high standards, and his rules towards character development were so obsessively careful, true perfectionism. That bled over into his approach to game development as a whole. My team in particular really bore the brunt of his drive I guess, his demand for perfection, and we were directly under him. So it was... Yes, we had his full attention. He taught me about the concept of getting exactly what you want for the character on to paper and into the game, not settling merely for something close to your design. It’s about getting exactly what you want in the game. He taught me that. I would say that I think the way he taught me, that very strict way, is what kept me interested, and kept me going. Even after he stopped, and I worked on the games without him, I do believe his influence and his approach, which I now believe in, shines through all the products I’ve worked on, and all the Mega Man games. So even though he was not involved in some of them, I do believe that they are games produced under his methods, even if not by him.

>Kitamura was run off the internet because of people frothing at the mouth over Inafune and wanting the "real" creator to be their god-king

A shame, really. From what I remember from the big interview that he did, he was one of those "video games are dreams made manifest" types from the 80s. The kind of guys who thought that video games could magically express anything. If he'd been born later, he could have done what he wanted, but he was definitely hampered by the technical limitations of the time.

Nah, his big problem was that he left Capcom. He had a big major hit with Rock Man 2, and it was one of the biggest hits with the company. Then he makes Willow and then ducks out. Makes no sense, and obviously just personal problems behind the scenes. If he stuck he could have made Rock Man 3, then used that clout to get a bigger project for the SFC and beyond. He would today be a very rich executive at the company.

The programmer for Rock Man 1-2 went on to be the head of the programming department, and spearheaded MT Framework. Guy's still there.

Kitamura thought he could do better on his own, so he left to join Sur de Wave who had a bunch of devs who made hits and making their own games. Sadly the company didn't work out.

Reading between the lines, it could be autism spectrum and general socially inept nerd syndrome. Which means creative and passionate, but doesn't get along with people.

I think it was Kamiya or Mikami who described Fujiwara as a "demon" both in the positive and negative sense. Positive in that he's supernaturally talented, but also such a hard ass worker who drives his employees like slaves. I think it was Mikami saying he is "slack" to his employees compared to Fujiwara.

So you get personalities like Fujiwara and Kitamura together there is going to be friction. It's also third person, but it seems to debunk the myth that Rock man 1 was a failure. It just didn't sell over a million copies like 2 did. It seems like it was enough that it could be described as a good selling hit, but not enough for Fujiwaa to think it deserved an immediate sequel.

Wonder if MM1's infamously bad box art hurt sales? 2's box art in NA is at least competent and gives a sense of what the game is like.

Funny. He did more than Inafune did in terms of creation at least. He made the original physics prototype, and it was a default "pinball" place-holder character. With Naka it's just an engine and gameplay prototype for the Mega Drive. Character designers and then level designers created Sonic. So Naka plays a role as one of the original devs, but not actual character creator.

According to Naoto Oshima and other people behind the first Sonic game, his personality was based on (their Japanese perception of) Bill Clinton, as a "cool guy who lives life".

okay i guess it makes some sense cause he played the sax once but it's kinda retarded to make a game thematically about nature and then have your protagonist be like a scummy politician (or a politician for short)
doesn't really come across in the games though so whatever

Well, Bill did live life. Dunno about the cool though. Perhaps it's just that he contrasted with the (superficial) seriousness of japanese politicians.

They would have only seen clips like him playing Sax on Arino Hall.

I believe it was Ben Judd who was in touch with Kickstarter as his english representative, so it's probably on Judd since his company was helping promote MN9 and Bloodstained kickstarters.

>>waste time going to South America for "research" even though by 1997 your company has internet access to get photographs of Mayan ruins and you have a 9 month dev time
Location scouting's actually a pretty common thing and significantly more helpful than just looking at photographs if you're trying to establish an atmosphere, especially compared to what would have been readily available online in the late 90's.

Yeah, Kojima's made an entire career of just doing location scouting now.
