Next week's guest is johnjohanas, creative director of the BAFTA-winning Hi-Fi RUSH. In this clip John recalls the moment he stumbled on a bizarre online Flash game, one that turned out to be a job application portal that would change the course of his life:

A testament to animation team who took on a seemingly impossible challenge and executed with panache to support the project as a whole.

Thank you to BAFTA and the judges. It’s an incredible honor to be recognized for this.

It was an honor just to be nominated

Such an exciting moment!

Always feel like there’s more people to thank for making this game come to life.

Thank you also to everyone who supported us!

Reminder to everyone at GDC today.

Bright and early at 9am I’ll be giving my talk followed by some Q&A!

Room 2005 West Hall!

Kale comes through with a solid.

Excited for today’s launch and flattered by the warm reception from reviewers and players who can now experience Hi-Fi RUSH.

I’ll be with you there doing everything in the game (for the nth time) and going for that platinum.

Reminder that there’s short time between launch, meaning PS+ members can save on both editions of the game with a preorder!

That’s money which could be used for some cool costume packs, a decaf coffee, or whatever you desire!

Amazing news. Honored and thrilled to be nominated for all of these categories!

FYI: I’ll be at GDC this year doing a deep dive on how we made #hifirush ! Includes pre-production looks, how to approach new challenges, and we pull back the curtain on how we created some sequences in the game.

9AM on March 20th!
