Overview:

When the COVID-19 outbreak began in Tokyo in 2020, in a situation of “stay at home”, I wanted to present a video game as an art piece.
As a person who spent my childhood in the 1980s in Japan, during the transitional period of computer games, known as the “First Nintendo generation,” my experience playing TV/video games seems to be a big part of who I am. Then, as an adult, I acquired the skills and was eventually able to make my games.
One of the reasons I make games by myself is because the game I want to play doesn’t exist in the world. My dissatisfaction with existing games is that there is always a purpose or goal in the game world, and the act of simply enjoying being in that world is not encouraged. Even if there is a beautiful background or scenery, sightseeing in that world is not what the game or the player of that game primarily wants.

This game “Shore” has no purpose or goal. I would be happy if you could simply relax on a beach somewhere that I imagined in Tokyo when I was prevented from leaving my house at the time of creating this work.
