Level 5 CEO Akihiro Hino appeared in an interview with Grasshopper Manufacture CEO Goichi Sud in which expressed his hope that one day the company could try its hand at erotic and violent games. However, Hino said that this extreme idea is not currently in the cards as his responsibility as head of Level-5 is to continue various ongoing series and develop new IPs with his collaborators. Here’s what he said:
“If I were to put it to the extreme, I would go so far as to say that I want to make things like erotic games and 18+ games with violence,” comments the creator, laughing.
“I do, there is an ‘abnormal world’ in me, but I try not to go there, I just do things from the righteous part of my mind. However, deep down I really want to visit that abnormal world.”
“I want to go into that dark, abnormal world and I think I’ll definitely end up doing that. Once I feel that Level-5 is stable and I have the space to do what I want… I will do it (laughs).”
