A game studio working out of Brooklyn, NY. We've made a few games including Propaganda Lander and Smash Hockey for iOS. Our latest project of note is The Hero Trap. The Hero Trap is a lightning fast dungeon "crawler" where you can control up to three heroes at the same time. We'll be posting nuggets of goodness as the project progresses. http://smashworx.com

Creator Yu Suzuki shares the story of Shenmue’s development

In a Classic Game Postmortem session at the 2014 Game Developers Conference today, Yu Suzuki — director, producer, designer and writer — spoke about the origins and development of 1999 Sega Dreamcast adventure role-playing game Shenmue.

After joining Sega in 1983, Suzuki focused primarily on creating arcade games, where the ideal experience was three minutes long. After years working on these games he decided he wanted to make a game that didn’t have that kind of time limit. He began researching late 1980s role-playing games, using these as the formula for the game he would build.

"When I see these games I get so nostalgic," Suzuki said through his translator, PlayStation 4 architect and game designer Mark Cerny. "There was a dream here."

Ever wonder where Zangief got those scars? Enter: Ursa. A powerful luchador with a (metaphorical) axe to grind, Ursa channels its rage into the whirlwind slash: a big area attack that can get you out of a jam if you’re surrounded. Once Ursa gets going, though, it’s hard to stop, so be careful of immovable objects—especially spiked walls.

In terms of raw power, Norseman has no competition. His bronze battle axe comes down on its targets with merciless force, hampered only in part by its wielder’s hulking slowness. When used in tandem with faster, more agile heroes, he can be an incredibly effective ally with powerful and methodically precise attacks.
