This quick interview with Dodonpachi programmers Tsuneki Ikeda and Satoshi Kouyama is the second part of an interview originally featured in Gamest. The first part is well worth a read if you havenโt; this interview focuses on the surprisingly positive public response to an โextremeโ danmaku game like Dodonpachi in arcades. Other topics include the design of the scoring system and the choice to make Hibachi an unusually tiny final boss.
