Naka claimed that according to court documents, Square Enix removed him as the director of the Balan Wonderworld game six months before the game launched because of a strained relationship with the game’s developer Arzest, and a dispute over the game’s soundtrack.
Naka added that according to court documents, Square Enix removed him as the director because of objections from the producer, head of marketing, head of sound, managing director, and human resources at the company.
Naka stated he had wanted to improve the game as Arzest had submitted it without fixing bugs, and according to him, court documents showed Square Enix personnel stated the relationship between Square Enix and Arzest broke down after his comments about the game’s bugs.
Game programmer and director Yuji Naka revealed on Twitter on Thursday that he had filed a lawsuit against Square Enix following his departure from the company.
