14 DAY TRIAL // Suda51, who is the Japanese developer behind the studio Grasshopper Manufacture, has announced that he plans to release the most violent social game that the market has ever seen, working together with social game network and developer DeNA.
Suda51, who goes by the real name of Goichi Suda, has been until recently working on Shadows of the Damned with another legendary Japanese developer, Shinji Mikami, and is also known for his part in creating titles like No More Heroes, Fatal Frame IV, The Silver Case and Killer 7.
The yet-untitled social game that Suda is working on will be launched on the mobile social network Mobage.
The developer has said that, “We're aiming to make it the social game with the most blood” adding that there are no less than “around 100 social game concepts” that he is also thinking about creating in the future.
He also added that once his new game is out on Mobage, he is hoping to be able to port it to other platforms, which probably means smartphones, handhelds and services like the PlayStation Network or Xbox Live Arcade.
At the moment, the game that will be created using the concepts already seen in No More Heroes does not have a launch date, but it will certainly encourage players to interact with others.
Social and mobile gaming are two of the segments of the video game market that are set to grow at the fastest rate in the coming years so it makes sense for developers to take a chance to see how they can port their ideas to those spaces.
Goichi Suda is also currently working with Hideo Kojima in order to create a radio drama that is based on Snatcher, an adventure game.
He is also involved in projects called Codename D and Lollipop Chainsaw.
