Talk of "sponge" at Tetsuya Mizuguchi GO3 Address

Tetsuya Mizuguchi - Image 1There's an international gaming expo currently being held in Perth, Australia: the GO3 Electronic Entertainment Expo. It's basically a gathering of video gaming enthusiasts to share their views on the industry and to partake on the latest buzz about the gaming community. Conference topics include problems facing the gaming industry, the future direction of the industry, latest technologies, licensing, publishing, game development and mobile gaming.


So far we've been able to hear word from the talk of Tetsuya Mizuguchi, creator of funky puzzle video game Lumines. Entitled "Inspiration led Creativity", Mizuguchi's speech centered on how certain moments of his life inspired creativity in him.

Mizuguchi talks of playing Pong as a kid, and listening to Beatles music on the background. According to him, "Pong was good - but with the music, it was awesome." We agree: certain sorts of music do get our groove on playing and winning games, right?

Apart from playing Pong and listening to certain Liverpool bands, Tetsuya talks of his childhood playing Sega, Hang-on, Stomp, Space Channel 5. All in all, he expresses his feelings of being inspired to creativity by music, and the creativity of others - of course, he worded his sentiments better than we could.

Now of this talk of "sponge" - well, Tetsuya says that "sponge" is his final inspiration; it's where the future lies. If he meant being sensitive to the innate creativity and poetry of ordinary everyday things around us, just like how a sponge is so absorbing, then we cheer him on.
