Did you ever fall asleep in school?
A few times, but only when I was super tired, and I tried not to make a habit out of it.
Ask @SyonSanteria
Are you hyped like everyone else is about Hunter X Hunter coming to Toonami?
Hell yeah, man.
will alienworks ever work on a BL or Otome game?
It's always a possibility. I think a few of us have brought it up in the past too. Though I do question if I have the chops for it.

I miss your IRC self. Why are you not AFK on IRC? I don't feel safe. Do you hate us?
I'm sorry. I'll try to make an effort to post in IRC more. I honestly just get too busy and forget sometimes. I don't even have time to answer phone or skype calls from good friends a lot, but I'm definitely not trying to ignore anyone.
What is the most stressful job?
Haaaaaaaaaaai
Is Alienworks participating in NaNoReNo?
Sorry, I don't think so. Maybe another time!
Are open world RPG's the best type of games out there?
I'm not sure if genre has anything to do with how good a game is, but they're definitely some of my favorite types of games.
no
Oh please, you love me.
Who is responsible for creating Highway Blossoms?
I'd say it was a collaborative thing between me and Josh, as far the basic idea goes. I wanted to make a yuri road trip game, I went to him with the idea and he suggested the treasure angle, I wrote up the outline and general character layouts and stuff, he went to Sekai with the pitch, and we wrote it together.
Creatively and aesthetically, I called most of the shots, but I consider it to belong to him just as much as it belongs to me. Highway Blossoms has a lot of wonderful people working on it, all of whom are responsible for and contributing to its existence. I love and am thankful for everyone who has helped.

Does it disturb you as a creator that everyone on your Greenlight page is playing your game strictly because it has lesbians in it and not for any other merits?
Not really. People are allowed to appreciate stuff however they choose. It doesn't really bother me.
Will HB be ported to Android?
Can't say for certain right now, but it's very possible!
what games do you play?
Visual Novels for (inb4 >game). Haven't been able to play many games lately because I'm so busy, but I'll play pretty much anything. Though I typically avoid FPS that aren't made by valve nowadays. I've always really loved open world stuff, which is part of the reason why I held out with the Assassins Creed franchise for so long. I plan to play Fire Emblem Fates until my 3DS breaks.
Is it just me or are you awesome?
Hahah probably just you
You don't control when HB's Greenlight goes up?
Yeah. It's more up to Sekai and when they feel is an opportune time to put it, which makes since, as they are publishing HB.
How much do you think HB would be? also what is an estimated word count?
$9.99, most likely. There may be an initial discount upon release.
Estimated word count it 75k-80k words.

What is the latest news on HRP and HB.
HRP is coming a long at a pretty rad pace. Our scene/word count has ballooned recently, and while I'm aware that's not a good representation of quality, I think it is a good representation of how hard we're working on it.
Vogue, from SC2VN, has joined our team as Hitomi's writer and has been caught up to speed. Dude's fast and is already tackling scenes.
We've started on a few CGs, which all look beautiful, and most of the character redesigns/base sprite for the main cast are done. Also, our new backgrounds are looking gorgeous so far.
Furthermore, I'd say most of the writers are on track to having their routes finished before Summer's end.
As for HB, that's seen a bump in progress too. All of our BGs are officially done, and music is just about completed too. We're still in the process of editing, but sprites and CGs have been coming along at a pretty rapid pace compared to prior months.
Also, Greenlight soon. Not exactly sure when, butyoushouldtotallybugJoshaboutit

How do you feel about certain other developers learning from the success of Highway Blossoms and making yuri content for the attention it seems to bring in, rather than legitimately caring for it?
HB hasn't been released yet, brah. The feedback we've gotten from the announcements and the trailer has been amazing, but I wouldn't quite say it's been successful. Not yet anyway.
But as for how I feel about less thought out yuri projects and whatnot? Well, I guess I feel the same about it as any other less thought out VN. People have been doing the same thing with eroge and other genres in the medium for years. I don't think yuri is exempt from that.
As for where Highway Blossoms position in all that, I hope that upon its release it will be seen as one of the better yuri titles available in the west. There's a lot of love and effort put into it, and I think people will find it really accessible (hopefully)

How's your day going?
Slightly hectic, but OK!
Best horror movie remake?
Probably Evil Dead. Not too many good horror move remakes out there, though.
Are you excited about the new Star Wars movie?
oh wow lol
If aliens invaded the planet and enslaved humanity, but offered you a chance to work for them, would you join them and betray your own race to maintain your "freedom" or would you spit in their face at the offer and in turn become a slave or worse?
How long has this question even been here?
When is the new Toonami Show Rundown episode coming out?
Today, hopefully. I've been really busy this past week, so even though it's edited I haven't had the time to upload it.
Most anticipated anime titles for 2016?
JoJo Part 4, Steins;Gate 0, Flying Witch, Macross Delta, Ushio and Tora season 2, Wagamama High Spec, Boku no Hero Academia, Shingeki no Bahamut: Manaria Friends, both of the new Trigger shows, Big Order, Joker Game, Bungou Stray Dogs.
I'm sure more will pop up, but it's looking like it's going to be an okay year.

Are you the real Shinichi Izumi?
I hope you get Kana'd.
Is that outline you were talking about the other day for the next thing...?
Nah. Maybe the Thing After the Next Thing? It was basically me putting down some ideas I've had for a while on paper. The Next Thing is super cool, though.
