The Making of Guxt - Translated by Shih Tzu

Pixel recently posted a little “making of Guxt” feature on his website, which Shih Tzu was kind enough to translate to English for all us gaijin. Thanks, Shih Tzu—you rock!

The feature, er, features screen grabs of the game in development, with notes describing what was being worked on at each point. It’s a pretty cool window into the acclaimed game designer’s creative process and an interesting read for folks wondering what it’s like to make a game. (Man, I would love to see an afterword for Cave Story as well, or maybe a postmortem or two!)

View the translated Making of Guxt online here.

Download the zip (with bonus screen grabs!) here.

Thanks again, Shih Tzu! Excellent work, as always.

    Almost! :)

    I wanted to get this online while I had the chance. (Still gotta do moving stuff through the weekend.)

    But I got a new computer (!!!), a nice studio setup, and I’ll be back for reals as soon as I can get the cable guy to come over and hook up my internets. Hopefully… this week?

    Guxt is a vertical shooter from the creator of Cave Story. You can download it at the link below under the year 2007.

    Hey that’s really interesting seeing Pixel’s process. I just wish there was an easy difficulty setting for Guxt, my reflexes are nowhere near as good as Pixel’s.
