Kojima Expresses Preference for Smaller Development Teams

Okay, so here’s the scoop: famous game dude Hideo Kojima is definitely into smaller teams. You know, like the kind where everyone knows each other’s coffee order. At this press event—some report on Dexerto talked about it—Kojima dropped a nod to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Apparently, the main squad was just 30 people (and let’s not forget, a dog). Although, spoiler alert, heaps of other folks from all over helped out.

Anyway, Kojima’s trip down memory lane goes back to when his crew was literally six folks. Wild, right? It was all DIY vibes. But now? Pfft, things got all big and chaotic. It’s like you can’t keep tabs on everybody in the office. So, you gotta delegate. But guess what? Sometimes delegating is like giving a cat directions—it doesn’t really stick.

Oh, and back to Sandfall: Kojima’s digging their setup. It’s like his dream team—compact and tight-knit. Yet, creating stuff has turned into this huge monster. Now, it’s this battle of making epic things but with a mini-army. I guess that’s just how the gaming cookie crumbles.
