DS-X2 has posted their interview with Western Lords producer Elder Prince of independent studio Blossom Soft. (We previously reported on this title.)
In the interview, Prince gives an interesting view into the development process, from moving the project to DS from GBA, dealing with the departure of programmers, and taking a hand in many aspects of the game's production. He also discusses the title's origins, mentioning its genesis in a ten-year-old idea inspired by the anime Mysterious Cities of Gold.
