Bishop Dyer Recalls Initial Reaction To MLW Reviving Classic Name

Deleting my original blog was one of the worst mistakes I’ve ever made on this site, not because I miss it but because everything I ever wrote about Aizawa and forgot to back up died there. In a lot of ways, I’m grateful because starting over with a clean slate here allows me the opportunity to dispel any ideas I put out when I was in the initial spitballing phases of playing with him as a character. 

From what I still have on hand and the vague memories that linger, it’s fun thinking back on the days when Aizawa was nothing more than a silly ol’ guy to me– a character that I recognized as underutilized and wanted to do something with, but was entirely unsure of what that something was. I’ll be the first to admit, when I first dropped my idea for an Aizawa game where he gets to take the role of Protagonist, I was waaaay in over my head!

And I say that for many reasons, most of which I will show you over time rather than laying it all out here in a single post.

Part of me was unhappy with Y6 and wanted to override its story all together and the other part of me was unsure of how “yakuza” I even wanted Aizawa to be. I think the original name was something like Yakuza, Become Legendary! And between you and me, it was essentially just a friendship simulator with extra steps. I’ll have to see if I still have the files somewhere because I’ve changed PCs since then– granted, I don’t even remember what year that was… I just know that my obsession with Aizawa began in August of 2021 and I can just tell you, my idea of him (and ideas for him) have evolved a ton since then!

I think also, in a lot of ways, I was just so afraid of… ruffling feathers by allowing myself to enjoy projects to their full potential, pushing them, allowing other people to get excited for them with me, that I just… worked myself into near total seclusion. I think I blame the problems I faced at that time, most of which made me so anxious and intimidated by everything and everyone and I hated that because I knew how unlike myself I had become…. 

Sorry, I didn’t mean to get so personal there. 

I think my point though, is that’s where I was then, but now? I mean, mentally I’m in the best place I’ve ever been and I’m EXCITED about creating in a way that makes it all feel brand new. So, I’ve decided I’ll take advantage of that and introduce to anyone who may be interested “my baby”, my little passion project; Yakuza: Death of a Legend.

I hope you enjoy hearing about it as much as I’ve enjoyed working on it!
