3.Message from Tomonobu Itagaki
I, Tomonobu Itagaki, would like to announce that I am stepping down as representative director of Valhalla Game Studios, and will be assuming the position of Prime Advisor to the company. As one of the founders, I feel I have an obligation to explain to you all why I have come to this decision.
On April 1st of this year, I celebrated my 50th birthday. Until now, I would spend day and night concentrating on the development of one game, molding and polishing it into a product full of excitement. Once that game was completed, I would immediately head into development of the next game. Through this pattern I have released numerous games.
Now, with the passing of my 50th birthday as a personal milestone I will put into effect a change that I have been planning for some time, changing my place and purpose in the game development industry. Rather than working for just myself or just my own company, I wish to contribute as much as I can to the game development industry as a whole and help it to grow by passing on my own method of development, my own method of creating games, to those who would like to work with me. I will, of course, continue working with Valhalla Game Studios, providing full support to its young staff.
I hope all the fans and industry representatives will continue to support Valhalla Game Studios and myself as well.
Sincerely,
Tomonobu Itagaki
