Hideki Kamiya, formerly a vice president at PlatinumGames, has launched his own YouTube channel, where he revealed that he feels “very refreshed” after resigning from the company he co-founded.

Kamiya, having worked at PlatinumGames since it was founded 15 years ago, has stated that he isn’t planning to retire from game development. He did mention, however, that he won’t be able to work at another studio for at least a year.

“I feel very refreshed after leaving [Platinum],” said Kamiya. “I’ve been watching Netflix, Disney Plus, YouTube and stuff like that. I’ve already lost track of what day it is.”

“I haven’t been to work for a while,” Kamiya continued. “I think it’s been about three months since I decided to quit. Once I decided to leave, I had to clean up all these toys and stuff like that. Once I finished cleaning, I was at home with my paid vacation.”

Kamiya announced his departure from PlatinumGames in September. He has worked with the studio on a number of iconic games, including Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101.
