Ace has been working on it for about two years, and reckons it needs another two years in the oven – which should be a bit easier now, as he says this wave of support has been quite energizing.įor promising games in the near-future, have a gander at our list of the new games of 2022. It's got multiple playable characters, mechanics and ideas partly inspired by a range of Ace's favorite games, and an original story years in the making.Īpart from some music and writing assistance, it's almost entirely the work of Ace, a former VFX artist who learned to program just so they could make this game. If you're just catching up on all of this, I'll first cheekily refer you back to the original report linked above, but here's the short version on this absolutely bonkers game: Aikode is a third-person, open-world action-RPG made in Unreal Engine 5 and set in a fragmented, futuristic world that mirrors but distorts our own. People who play a lot of games will notice that." There's a lot of inspirations from a lot of games. I love a lot of things from Nier games, Taro's storytelling and stuff like that. "I love Drakengard, Nier, Nier Replicant, Automata. "I'm a fan of Yoko Taro's work in general," Ace previously told GamesRadar+. "So I was like, why is he thanking me? What is this response? He's actually thanking me. "What he was saying is 'thank you,'" Ace says of Taro's tweet. It was just a couple of hours ago, I still don't believe it.

And I'm like, what? Yoko Taro retweet? That can't be possible. What happened? I arrive home, I'm on Discord, and then I see a guy saying that he comes from a Yoko Taro retweet. "Today I was at university and I started getting more notifications," he continues. It was like a fantasy in my mind! I didn't expect him to actually notice this. "I read the Japanese article and a part of me was thinking maybe Yoko Taro will read this," he explains.
Ace says he started to get a lot of Twitter notifications after our initial story on Aikode went up, and as more Japanese followers and comments flooded in, he learned that Automaton had picked up the story.
