| The most in-depth English interview with ZUN ever |
| (1/6) > >> |

Hey folks, remember that thing from 2013, when a Western journalist did a "most hardcore ever" interview with ZUN for his book? I had been keeping watch on the book since then. The author's project went through some ups and downs, but ZUN's interview was finally published in 2014 as part of "The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers Volume 1" (physical copy, Kindle). At this moment, for a limited time, it is also available as part of a DRM-free ebook bundle. You only need $12 to buy it along with some other copious volumes of video game writing. By the author's permission, I've put up an excerpt on the wiki, which should give you an idea about how much new material there is in the interview. Disclosure about my involvement: Long story short, I got into contact with the author in early 2014. When the author said he needed an illustration containing all Touhou characters, I suggested the fanart by Fuuzasa, and helped obtain Fuuzasa's permission. |

In my honest opinion, while the StoryBundle is an extremely generous deal, and the author is considering releasing the full ZUN interview for free, buying a physical copy if you can afford it would be a nice way to show support for the author, who still needs to publish the next two volumes at his own expense. The book is absolutely worth it if you care about Japanese video game history. |

I didn't know about this book, it got a lot of other people covered. Consider me interested, thanks for the heads up. |

Got the book, noticed that the author recommends the wikia site for more info. I find this incredibly amusing, somehow. |

A lot of people have started calling any gaming wiki a wikia for some reason. |
