(laughs) We then dove into development at a rapid pace. Once the managers saw the new prototype, their reactions changed completely. We then realized that we werenвЂ™t going to get any further until we had something to show that actually worked, so we ended up spending the next month making a prototype to show the appeal of the game and show off the concept better. We didnвЂ™t get the go-ahead after the second presentation we made either. We were making another game at the time, but I wanted to begin preparing so we could start making this game straight away once our current work was complete.ДЄfter that we gave a presentation to the higher-ups near the end of the year, but we werenвЂ™t able to get across the appeal of the game and so our idea was rejected. It wasnвЂ™t even a game yet at that point it was more like a video, which showed these soft, round creatures falling down and combining together when they collided hard with one another. Shortly after that, the programmers in the company spent about ten days making a quick demo for us. Kouno: I made the first sketches in June 2004.

Tsuchiya: I think it was soon after that we finally got hold of the PSP itself. We then added another person to our group and kept continuing to share our ideas and talk in a nearby family restaurant. Kouno: We decided to create the game on PSP right from the beginning. Even so, we kept thinking about what we could probably achieve and came up with a plan for the project. We knew that there would likely be L/R buttons on the left and right, but we didnвЂ™t know how they would be implemented yet. Keigo Tsuchiya: PSP hadnвЂ™t yet been released at the time, so there were a lot of unknowns. We then worked toward cementing what game systems we were going to use. Kouno: I invited Tsuchiya-san to help me, and we spoke about the game every day.

How did LocoRoco go from sketch to full game? one day.вЂќ This memory then passed on through the rough sketch I made on the train that day and that evolved into LocoRoco. It was really interesting, and I started to think that вЂњI want to make a game using A.I. The demo showed the characters eating fruit off of a tree, such as when they were hungry or reacting to the expressions of the other characters they met.ДЄfter I made the demo and started watching the four characters, I noticed random situations happening that I didnвЂ™t expect. The four characters were just circles with eyes drawn on, but each had its own parameters for hunger and sleepiness and so on. Kouno: I actually had the idea before that time. So that was the first prototype for LocoRoco? The visual was of a bunch of round characters all stacked on top of each other with weird faces and surprised expressions. One day, I thought, вЂњWouldnвЂ™t it be interesting if there were lots of characters which moved using A.I.?вЂќ and made a simple sketch of what I thought that would look like.

At the time I was using a PDA, instead of a note pad and jotting down as well as sketching any ideas that came to me while I was traveling to work. Tsutomu Kouno: It all started with a rough drawing I made on the train.
