379Primary SourceHaunted CastleYou throw a lot of well-deserved shade at Haunted Castle. You also pose a lot of questions around why and how it could be so unbalanced and bad. Designer Masaaki Kukino talked about why the game is what it is with John Szczepaniak in the first volume of The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers. Say what you will about how John has done since, but it's an interesting interview. See the PDF attached to my e-mail. Pages 242-245 are focused on Haunted Castle. It sounds like a lot of ugly crunch. "I was not an original member of the development team. At that time the game was in a bad shape, quality– and schedule-wise. So the then boss [of Konami] ordered me to help out the team. I was developing an entirely different game, but for a single month all the artists of that team joined the project. We crunched the whole month to complete the unfinished stages and characters, and to improve all the player and enemy sprites, effects and attacks, which were not so good. The schedule left no room for any bigger considerations or changes, but the player attacks and gameplay were changed and improved. I think the crumbling bridge was an idea during that phase. The project was short-staffed. Time for debugging was needed, but we couldn’t make any more changes to the balancing. At that time I had already returned to my original project. That was the most regrettable part. I think the development time was about 6 months."
