Deadly Premonition and D4 creator, Hidetaka "Swery" Suehiro, has resigned from his position at developer Access Games, but has hinted at further projects to come.
The cult game director - who recently took a break from development for health reasons - spoke to IGN Japan, explaining that he had resigned from Access Games' board of directors in August, but had stayed quiet until now.
"2016 marked my 20th year working in the game industry", he explained in characteristically odd style. "Then when I was forced to take a break from work due to illness, I had the opportunity to consider the next 10 or 20 years of my life. How do I want to live? As I gave this question serious thought every day, I began to see visions in my morning coffee. The future and the past; or perhaps freedom and restriction… Advancement and stagnation."
Asked about what could come next from the man who, this year alone, has become a certified Buddhist monk and written a novel starring a cat, Swery had this to say: "There’s something I’d really love to tell you about! The words are on the tip of my tongue… But I can’t let them out just yet. When the time is right I will tell you."
Last we heard, Swery was pitching a game deemed too "perverted" by the publishers he'd taken it to, although it's not clear whether this is still a going concern. Thanking his fans for their support, he only added he hopes to "continue to surprise and amuse you". He also made clear that his health is thankfully "more or less perfect now."
Access Games' last major project was Swery's "bizarre, offbeat murder mystery", D4. It's unclear what the studio's current project is, and if Swery's departure has affected any in-progress work.
Joe Skrebels is IGN's UK News Editor, and he thinks more games need to follow D4's lead by including characters with Boston accents. Follow him on Twitter.
