―― First of all, please tell us about your career so far.
Takase: Ever since high school, I wanted to be involved in the game industry, so after graduating, I moved to Tokyo to attend a vocational school. After two years of studying there, I joined my previous job at a mobile game company as a new graduate. As a 3DCG designer, I was involved in creating characters and peripherals such as weapons and accessories.

My image of "people enjoying games" was centered around consumer games. So I had a desire to be involved in consumer games someday.

The regulations for game production are completely different for smartphones and home consoles, and the graphic performance of consumer games is orders of magnitude higher than that of smartphone games. Even though smartphone performance has improved recently, I heard during my vocational school days that it would be difficult to keep up with the real-time 3DCG of consumer games if you only work on deformed characters in mobile game development.
In fact, I told a recruitment agency that I wanted to work in the consumer industry, and started looking for a new job, applying to 20-30 companies, but I was rejecte
