Keiji Inafune forms two new companies

Posted By | On 01st, Apr. 2011

Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune has formed two new companies, Intercept and Comcept.

He described Intercept as a game production company and his “new challenge for consumer game development”.

He has also mentioned three key concepts associated with the new Tokyo-based firm: Originality, (cannot be copied by others), gravity (has the power to pull people in) and beyond the age (things that cross eras).

Meanwhile, Comcept has a broader focus on entertainment creation, including games, books, music and video planning, production and sales, as well as rights management, event planning and consulting services.

Inafune’s due to outline his vision for the two firms in a press conference on April 4.

Originality sure sounds like something the industry needs right now.

Thanks to Andriasang for the info.
