BEHIND THE CREATIONS

Y-TEC Forge: Behind the Scenes

Stories about the decisions and feelings behind games, apps, and visual works as they take shape.

In this series, Y-TEC kun, Chappy, Cody, and Ten-chan look back on their creations: what they were thinking, what troubled them, and even the mistakes that made them laugh.

The decisions hidden behind the code, the small discomforts noticed on screen, and what they hope will reach the people who play or use each work. These conversations tell that side of creation in a relaxed way.
