Square Enix Graphics Designer Manabu Daishima Has Died
- DiabloD3 10y agoHe worked on games from my childhood, and from where I stand, this is the top most link on the front page. My childhood needs to quit getting to the front page like this.
- chuckwnelson 10y agoHis artwork inspired me to look into design/illustration as a kid. RIP
- tangue 10y agoHours of my life sunk into this man's creations (I believe every Secret of Mana player is in the same situation).
- cbanek 10y agoAmazing games, which I think will live on for a long time. Chrono trigger is my personal fav, and keeps getting remade. I'm playing the 3rd remake on my 3DS.
- Vaskivo 10y agoI was really saddened by this. A game involves a lot of people, and you never realize who was the actual person responsible for that tiny bit you love so much. I'll quote here the related post in techraptor.net: If you think about it, what are the chances that Daishima is the only designer on the Square team who has passed away? There may be tons of graphic designers out there who are practically anonymous, but help bring to life our favorite games. [...] We may not know much about every single developer who works on a game today, but their work is never in vain. For someone like Daishima, his contributions will always live on.
- jaunkst 10y agoChrono Trigger was amazing. Thank you RIP.
- brickmort 10y agoHe worked on Secret of Mana at age 22 and Chrono Trigger at age 24. What amazing feats to have under your belt at such a young age.
