Hideo Kojima is known for many things, including the likes of the Metal Gear Solid franchise, his fallout with Konami, his ability to tease fans to no end, and for generally being a pretty cool guy in tune with pop culture. That said, now that his upcoming mysterious title Death Stranding has a release date, Kojima-san has decided to explain to fans what exactly a Hideo Kojima game is.

Taking to Twitter, the prominent video game creator detailed how the process for developing games has changed over the past 33 years, but his way hasn’t. Even as he began to take on more roles over the years, his process of creating a Hideo Kojima game has not changed. “And then I had to do business management, producing, & promoting,” he said. “Even when the team got bigger and the task was subdivided my way of making game didn’t change, an indies style.”
