I'm not here to ask you something, but you tell you...

STOP SPENDING YOUR CASH!!! RIGHT NOW!!!

Seriously, put most of your cash (not 300K) away and invest it. Then use the interest, or anything you gain as spending money.

This is incorrect. In the OP's book, he says that his entire family came from Japan. They were Zainichi Koreans, and the family was actually quite successful financially over there as his grandfather was a successful businessman. The grandmother was a staunch NK supporter and was the one to convince the family to move from Japan to NK. This was actually a very common scenario for many Koreans living in Japan at that time. There's still a sizable population of North Koreans still living in Japan.

He mentions that when they landed in NK, there was a small crowd there that waited for them who they assumed was a welcoming party. It was actually party members and soldiers who confiscated their belongings and a small number of actual greeters. Others there actually went to the family members and asked why they came over. It's horrible there.

The author doesn't exactly know why his grandfather was arrested. But it's suspected that he might have angered a communist party member with his market strategies (this was his grandfather's job in NK), since he was vocal about the bad policies that party members tried to enact. He rubbed someone the wrong away, and that got the family prison time.

Hello WayForward Team!

First, I would like to say that you guys are one of my favorite developers. I view WayForward as the western equivalent to Treasure, my other all-time favorite game maker. It's rare to see a company that focuses so much on classic 2D game design, and you guys are amazing animators. The breadth and quality of your titles are outstanding. Even when doing commericial tie-ins, you seem to exhibit a level of care and pride in every game you make. You don't have the cheap cash-in feel that other games have when related to another franchise. I really appreciate what you guys do. You're keeping the 2D dream alive.

Now onto my question. What is the dream game that you guys want to create either now, or in the future, but weren't able to before? Also, what's does the future look like for WayForward with the new console generation? Lastly, are you ever going to bring your games to the PC?

Thanks a bunch for this AMA. Keep up the great work!
