About Cocone and his friends in the future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ishiwatari:<\/strong> What does the Gotanda group think about Cocone in the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L.S:<\/strong> When the smartphone wave came, we bought books and studied from scratch to get this far. Nowadays, we are tied down by various important things such as Pokecolo and a 200-person company, but we are ready to take on new challenges from scratch! We are ready to take on new challenges from scratch. We have to keep up with the flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C.Y:<\/strong> We, the developers, created the system, and then the designers created something beyond our imagination. When I saw it running on the system, I was impressed. I was like, “Wow, the designer is amazing. That’s amazing! I am sure that if we have people like that working with us, we will be able to run with the system. With people like that working together, I think we can keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L.S:<\/strong> It’s exciting to take something you imagined, develop it, have a designer put content on it, and have it actually work. It’s fun, isn’t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ishiwatari:<\/strong> I think we’ll ride that smartphone wave and then the next wave as well,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L.S:<\/strong> Yeah. I don’t know what will come, but I want to be able to look back later and take it for granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C.Y:<\/strong> Cocone members are resistant to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ishiwatari:<\/strong> We talked about this earlier. There were the words of the chairman who never changes, and we have been moving forward, changing freely in order to move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N.A:<\/strong> And I’ve had the experience of really being as successful as I said I would be! There were times when I felt like I was at rock bottom, but I’ve come this far from there, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ishiwatari:<\/strong> What kind of person would you like to run with, Cocone, in the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L.H:<\/strong> At Cocone, we have been making new things and challenging ourselves for a long time. We have been allowed to do whatever we want and we want to continue to do so. I think there are many people who are willing to take on challenges. The chairman always says to me, ” If you don’t do anything, nothing will change. I am very conscious of this. I want people who can think together about what to do next, rather than just doing what they are told to do. I would like someone who can think together with me about what to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N.A:<\/strong> Other companies have developers who are bossy, but Cocone’s developers are kind. I know other companies, so why are Cocone’s developers so undignified? I think. When I tell them that I want a character’s hat stacked on top of another character’s hat, a developer from a normal company would ask me, “What is your priority level? But Cocone’s developers never say that. They would always say, “Yes, we’ll try,” and accept the project at least once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L.S:<\/strong> Since this is a company that you have to develop with while putting out a service, you need to be someone who is interested in the service. For example, even if they didn’t know, they may have come to Cocone for a job interview, but they haven’t played with Pokecolo, Cocone’s main service. Even if the person has good skills, if he or she is not interested in the service, he or she will not be hired. After all, I want to work with people who have a similar perspective. I’d prefer someone who respects creating services and has a strong interest in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C.Y:<\/strong> I would like someone who has a sense of service, a sense of style, and that kind of flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
