[PS4Blog.net Interview] X PLUS On Smelter

May 20, 2021 | EdEN, Owner

We’ll be working on a review for Smelter, so I got in touch with X PLUS to talk a bit about the game. Come check it out!

PS4Blog: Good afternoon! Thank you for taking the time to join us today. Could you please help us get started by telling our readers a bit about yourself and your work?

Thank you very much for reaching out!

Absolutely! My name is Brian Otten, and I primarily work as the project manager and writer for the Smelter development team here at X PLUS based in Osaka. Aside from doing localization/translation work in the past for other games, this was my first time being the writer for any sort of game development project. Although I feel like I should add that the original idea for the story came from Sina Faroughi, who is our art director on the project, and it was my job to help develop and expand the idea into the world, characters, and dialogues that players see in the game.
