Kenji Ozawa, co-director of Visions of Mana, has launched Studio Sasanqua following the closure of Ouka Studio by NetEase due to management's failures. Ozawa criticizes how poor decisions by management lead to job losses for developers, advocating for improved communication and accountability. His new studio will prioritize developer security and collaboration, with a focus on developing smaller titles using Unreal Engine, eventually aiming for larger projects for PC and console. This move comes amid NetEase's broader strategy of downsizing and selling its non-Chinese studios while maintaining commitments to overseas operations.
Kenji Ozawa argues that management's failure to accept responsibility for project failures leads to developers being unjustly let go.
