Ojiro “Moppin” Fumoto, the creator of well-known roguelike shooter Downwell left Nintendo after serving for most of 2018.

Posting his thoughts on Twitter, Fumoto said, “I was working at Nintendo for most of 2018 but I quit at the end of the year to pursue being an indie dev again.”

“Working there was an incredible experience but ultimately I found my passion to simply be making a thing I want to make,” Fumoto added.

So yeah, I'll get working on that this year! — Ojiro Fumoto (@moppin_) January 1, 2019

Since Fumoto served as a valuable employee at Nintendo, his followers wanted to know his experience at the multi-billion dollar company. Unfortunately and quite funnily, Fumoto replied with this –

Whoa cool! Are you allowed to write about your experience there at all? — Sean Han Tani 韓谷 (@sean_HTCH) January 1, 2019
