Downwell Creator Quits Nintendo After One Year

Ojiro Fumoto, the indie creator which brought the world Downwell, has left Nintendo after working there for one year.

Working at Nintendo is a dream for most people, so why did Fumoto leave? Fumoto explained that he quit the company because he wanted to become an indie developer again, as while he was working for Nintendo, he realized his passion is to “simply be making a thing I want to make”.

We wish Fumoto all the best for his future endeavors, and look forward to his next creation.
