PIX'N LOVE #04: THE BIRTH OF XEVIOUS

Charles Parisot, Cyril Denis, Eric Cubizolle, Florent Gorges, Laurent Kermel, Marc Pétronille, Nicolas Gilles, Nicolas Mattioni, Sébastien Mirc, Stéphane Gillet, Thibaut Gauthier, Yan Fanel



 

Marketed on an arcade machine in 1983, Xevious revolutionized the still fledgling genre of shoot'em up. Evocative graphics, variety of sprites, end-of-level bosses... The new "challenger" displays its ambition and stands out in particular by the presence of vertical scrolling. But it is above all, its original management of enemy patterns – and their artificial intelligence. Masanobu Endô, its creator, tells us about the fascinating epic of its creation.


American programmer David Crane (Pitfall, A Boy and his Blob ), and the Japanese game developers Game Center CX, also answered some questions, reflecting on their unique professional careers.
