		<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone. I’m Bayonetta producer Yusuke Hashimoto.

Today Bayonetta finally went on sale in Japan! I bet some of you are even playing right now!

Many, many things happened during the development of Bayonetta, a process which started three years ago. However, I’m finally glad that we are able to get the game into the hands of gamers, and at the same time, I am incredibly thankful to all those who have supported Bayonetta, everyone involved in the production, as well as the development team.

We developed Bayonetta with the idea in mind that it should be an “<strong>action game of the highest caliber</strong>,” and it became a bit of an ultimate title for us, containing everything we are capable of in one package. Put another way, it was a “<strong>challenge to ourselves</strong>” having been previously involved in numerous action games. We founded a new studio, and had to start everything completely from scratch, but during production we always felt <strong>the fun of making games, and the fun that can be had from making games</strong>. Since we felt that way, I think we were able to fully exploit our know how to the very limits, and run full steam ahead. Completing Bayonetta was, I feel, and incredibly <strong>important step</strong> for PlatinumGames as a studio.

Games are entertainment that allow you to forget about time and just have fun. I’ve taken many things through this hobby we call gaming, so I really hope that even just a little piece of Bayonetta stays with all those people who pick up a controller and play the game, as if there was something to learn from the experience. Bayonetta development as a multiplatform title was filled with many experiences, but all I ever felt was <strong>“the desire to have as many people to enjoy Bayonetta as possible.”</strong> I’m taking them all as lessons myself, and in turn using them as motivation to make something even better in the future, so I would appreciate all of your support.

And if you have played Bayonetta and have opinions, feelings, or even hopes for a sequel (?), please send them my way.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=platinumgames.com&amp;blog=6054675&amp;post=1990&amp;subd=platinumgames&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone. Kenji Saito here once again.

For this entry, I wanted to talk a little bit about the effects engine in Bayonetta.

Our effects designer, Kudo-san, wrote about effects in his previous blog post, but what you probably didn’t know was that the tools he used to create these effects were actually developed in-house. Moreover, these effects can be created from while manipulating the game in real-time.

It’s a little hard to explain with words, so please take a look at a real-world example of what I mean.

[wpvideo w=500 pLBb44Ov]

This video shows creating special effects as we control the character.

So why did we create an environment for real-time effects creation? At PlatinumGames, we use a “crash and build” development style, so things are often changing in the design. To match up with that style, as well as to match with the effect designer’s request that we have an environment where they can quickly check the effects they create, we set-up the in-game effects creation engine. This allowed us to give the effects designers the ability to go about their work in a final game scene-like environment, which in turn allowed them to create high-quality effects in a very productive manner.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=platinumgames.com&amp;blog=6054675&amp;post=1981&amp;subd=platinumgames&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
