How I designed Fruit Ninja

The creator of Fruit Ninja released a fantastic video about the origins of the game: ▶ this video I highly recommend it, it's a fantastic post mortem (they shipped the original game, from prototype to 1.0, in just 6 weeks!) Similarly, he was just an employee at the game studio, and never made significant money from it (which he mentions led to confusion when seeking funding as he started his own company later - people kept asking "why don't you just use your Fruit Ninja money?"). Big fan of Keita, played all of his games (including the weird ps3/iphone nobynobyboy/girl), had the pleasure of meeting him in SF when he was working on Wattam, writing this from a laptop with a katamari sticker on it. One of my favorite designers.
