Comment of the game producer

I am Hosono, Producer of “JUDGE EYES: Will of Death.”
It is a great honor to win this honorable price.
Again, we would like to sincerely thank all of you, who voted for us.
Our studio developed “Ryu ga Gotoku series” for years. I continued having a dream to release a game in a different form from Ryu ga Gotoku, based on our experience in developing the series.
But it was not easy to start up a new title.
During the development, we felt as if “Ryu ga Gotoku,” which was produced by ourselves, were a huge wall and often so anxious, wondering if we could create a same positive impression among users.
Therefore, all members of the development team are so enthusiastic and grateful for the high evaluation of this game in this manner.
We would like to use this feeling as nourishment and keep on producing games enjoyable for anybody.  I would appreciate your continued support!
