RocketBaby:
How did you come up with the idea for Tomak?
Gun
Kim: When I got the idea of Tomak, I was looking at one
of our graphic designers and a plant on her desk. ^^;
RB:
What are the most important characteristics a composer should
have?
GK:
Talent and effort.
RB:
What kind of role does Tomak's music play in the game?
GK:
Tomak is a love simulation game. I wanted the player to get
into real feelings with Tomak.....For that, music is the most
important part of the game.
RB:
What were your instructions to Sueng Woo Han?
GK:
Work hard. haha...just kidding...I am also a president of SEED9
and I believe in our team. Music is art and musician is the
artist...what instruction? I don't know.....I am pretty sure
he knows music alot more than I.
RB:
What is your favorite tune that Sueng Woo Han composed?
GK:
"A Song of Farewell,"
it's piano song. Lots of people like it.
RB:
How close does Tomak's final product match your original
concept?
GK:
80%.. but I am pretty satisfied with the final product......about
the 20%....Don't worry about it....soon you will see the whole
different aspect of Tomak...in different platforms and different
stories.
RB:
Will Tomak appear on any of the current game consoles?
GK:
Yes, it's already in progress and....well
I hope you guys in U.S. and other countries can experience our
console version....actually mini-console. But that console is
available only in Korea.....for now. Oh...also, it's not going
to be the same game. Like I said, different platforms and different
styles....and different genre.
RB:
Any final thoughts?
GK:
Thank you~ I wish Tomak could be published in U.S. and you guys
can enjoy Tomak. Well...we are trying damn hard. ^^; Once again,
Thanks.
