CygamesEdge targets 2-3 titles a year at Where the Seeds Fall's scale
The Cygames label says each project should ship within three years of starting development, with director Hamada Shouichiro citing indie hits that outsell AAA games.
CygamesEdge, the new label from Cygames for smaller original titles, plans to release two or three games of the same scale as Where the Seeds Fall within a single year, according to Kotaku. The label also intends to ship each title within three years of starting development.
Hamada Shouichiro, director of CygamesEdge, said the label was founded to make indie-scale games with smaller internal teams. Where the Seeds Fall, its first release, is advertised with a three-hour playtime.
Hamada pointed to indie titles that outsell major AAA projects as an inspiration for the label's approach, according to Kotaku.
