The production of "Return to Blue Whale Island."
Ghost Bug Hyogo participated in the game development and radio drama script for "Return to Blue Whale Island."
Fan Packaging and Phased Distribution
In a 2021 IDC lecture, Ghost Bug Hyogo reviewed the early fan publishing of "Return to Blue Whale Island": he observed that some guilds were well-made but expensive, while others, after using simple packaging, decided to balance lower prices and complete product appearance, referencing commercial game packaging and the booth setup of major groups. Before the game was finished, he prepared a hundred demo copies and sold them all by morning.
Before the full version of "Return to Blue Whale Island" was released, Ghost Bug Hyogo continued releasing demo versions and unfinished content in stages. In his IDC talk, he believes that this relatively frequent delivery helps the work gradually gain recognition, so the full Steam release doesn't have to start completely unknown.
Character illustration commissioned
Hyogo also commissioned character illustrations for 'Return to Blue Whale Island' through Skeb. In a 2021 lecture, he described such commissions as his interests, clarifying that his goal was not to profit from illustration commissions.
