Talk:Rit's

Looks like Rit's actually had its origins in Artec. Their three PC98 releases -- Digan no Maseki (1988), Dark Wraith (1989), and Barbatus no Majo (1990) -- all credit Suzuki/Kajiyama and a whole bunch of other Rit's staff. Looks like Artec closed around 1990-91 and a sizable group formed Rit's, with a few other people evidently joining Sonic (which would explain why they worked together so often). --Dimitri (talk) 06:24, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Incidentally, I'd like to create an entry for Artec (which it turns out was completely separate from Random House), but it isn't allowing me to create the page. --Dimitri (talk) 06:59, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

2014 tweet from Kajiyama where he mentions Panzer Dragoon Mini [1] CRV (talk) 00:23, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Dragon Master Silk is apparently based off an MSX2 game called Ryuu Shoukan Musume (龍召喚娘) by a doujin circle called MJ-2 Soft. Did they become Rit's? The timeframe seems right (1991-1992). [2] CRV (talk) 15:59, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

From Kajiyama's comments in "Half Quarter Book One" about Shining Force Gaiden:

"When I was working on this, I hadn't really done any professional work as "Kajiyama", and hadn't published anything in this style before. I think Sonic was originally asking for "my usual realistic style" when this job started. (I'd previously done realistic illustration work under another name.) They seemed really impressed when I showed them the first roughs and said "I can draw like this, too..."

There's also some unused concept sketches for Shining Force in here, plus a few sketches for games that never got past the concept stage. Unfortunately he doesn't drop any titles... --Dimitri (talk) 04:29, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
