Tetsuya Mizuguchi – The Pursuit Of Synesthesia (Documentary)

Tetsuya Mizuguchi is one of the most interesting and influential game developers, join me as I take through his journey in creating the ultimate expression of Synesthasia!

I take a look at every game he has worked on, every company he has formed and been a part of, a take a deep dive into the inspirations behind some of his most prolific games.

This has been a huge project for me so I really hope you all enjoy it!

Let me know any other game designers or companies you’d like me to look at!
