Heaven Dust: Interview with Jack Zhou

As I mentioned in my review of Heaven Dust; I was lucky enough to be able to speak to the lead game designer Jack Zhou himself. Reaching out to him via email, he was both friendly to speak to and very informative.

   Jack Zhou worked independently on Heaven Dust in his personal time, with only one other co-worker Garden Guo. Focusing on the primary concept of Heaven Dust (that of a love letter to the Resident Evil franchise), Jack Zhou was open to talk about the development behind Heaven Dust, some tips for players, and any upcoming projects.

The Will of The Collective Unconscious

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona

I thought I'd start off with a post about this beauty of a game pictured above, as I've recently gotten back into it myself. For those who don't know much about Atlus and the Shin Megami Tensei (SMT) series, Persona is a branch off of SMT that released September 1996 originally for the PS1/PSX console.

Strangely enough, the first Persona game, which was remade for PSP August 2010 isn't the one that I would say is best to start the series with. The Persona series took a major turn with the third instalment and nearly completely changed what the game was, though the meaningful values the games convey still ring true despite it's ageing.

As someone who played the Persona series backwards, starting with the fourth instalment back in 2008, then working my way backwards - I'd have to say I'm glad I did. Each and every Persona game is amazing in it's own way, but none the less I definitely feel like if I'd started with the first one, PSX Version or PSP, I most likely would've given up and not continued with the series.
