At 1′59 in the video, check out the Google search with its highlighted 1.990.000 results. This is supposed to show that there is a high demand for a knight-vs-samourai game.
Ok. So I am going to kickstart a game project featuring hamburgers shooting Americans. This gives me 54.200.000 results at time of writing, so clearly there must be a high demand for such a game!
Fucking bloody morons.

How about kickstarting an Oni sequel ? (I’m only half joking here hahah)

I think I would need to buy the Oni rights to be able to do that. I would need a kickstarting project just for that

Yea, Take Two still has the rights I hear. Now this is just out of sheer curiosity, but if the rights *we’re* somehow acquired would you be willing to work on the project?

I’m working on something similar in my free time anyway, so why not? The only problem is that I don’t have much free time anymore. I would probably try, in any case. It’s still my fave hobby

Nice! I’m the same way trying to balance life, and maintaining my career/ clients. How is your son by the way?
Believe it or not I actually emailed Take 2 and asked about the Oni IP. Doubt I’ll even get a reply. It would be nice to see another Oni game and build upon its potential, but in my opinion something with a fresh IP would be better.
So what are you working on? Need a concept artist?

Come on, if you search “knight vs samurai” you still get 700k+ hits, while “hamburgers shooting Americans” only returns this blog post.

Well that was kind of my point: you need to include the quotation marks in the search for it to be meaningful…
