The talk event "Yoshi-P Radio & Yoshi-P Night" will be held on October 24, 2026, at Shibuya Creator Space 404 Not Found. Former head of SIE Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida and Masahiko Murakami, head of Skeleton Crew Studio, will serve as hosts, with indie game developer Takumi Miyazawa and LEVEL-5 CEO Akihiro Hino appearing as guests to share insights on game development.
Takumi Miyazawa will look back on his 20+ years of solo development experience, focusing on how he creates games using specialized controllers and everyday objects, and plans to introduce his work "Face UFO."
Akihiro Hino will discuss attempts to build new IPs from scratch and how LEVEL-5 uses new IPs to navigate difficult times. Depending on the flow of conversation, topics may also include indie game development and "Professor Layton and the Steam New World," scheduled for release in December.
The event has approximately 60 spots available and is open to game developers, publishing professionals, students, and others. Advance registration is required; while the event itself is free, attendees must purchase a drink at the café located within the venue.
