Moon Game Designer Says A Sequel May Be Possible “If It Sells Like Hotcakes”

4Gamer have recently managed to get an interview with Yoshiro Kimura, the writer for the legendary anti-RPG, moon.

In the interview, 4Gamer asked Yoshiro Kimura about the possibility of a sequel if ever moon gets great reviews. Apparently, the writer is now open to the idea as against previous interviews where he expressed quite an opposition to a potential sequel.

Here’s what the writer has to say:

4Gamer: So what will you do if the port of moon gets great reviews?

Yoshiro Kimura: “Well, then I’d probably get into the mood to make a sequel! (laughs)”

4Gamer: Even though up until just now, you were saying it wasn’t possible. (laughs)

Kimura: “Still, I mean, if it sells like hotcakes, it’s not weird for the topic to come up. When I say that “I can’t make a sequel to moon” usually, I’m talking about a narrative sequel to moon. If it isn’t something directly related, I’m pretty sure I’d have some ideas.”

4Gamer: That would be nice.

Kimura: “But on this topic, I’ve always thought this, but moon 2 already exists. For me, it’s Chulip. For Taro-chan [Taro Kudo, game designer, and current Vanpool director], it’s Endonesia, while for Nishi-san I wonder if Giftpia is your moon 2. In terms of how time flows in the game, and how the characters inhabit the game world, all the members of Love-de-Lic have already made moon 2. That’s why, if moon becomes a hit this time, and everyone gets together to work on something again, that might be moon 3.”

Kenichi Nishi, moon director: “Actually, Suzuki-san and Matsuo-san have also said, “Try to get the members of Love-de-Lic together once again.” “Because it would be fun to get together once again at this age.” However, if you aren’t careful, it will turn into a reunion where people reminiscence about how things were better back then. I want to avoid that.”
