Usuda said the sequel's reception exceeded expectations, with daily sales remaining strong and recent downloadable content performing well. He described the development as having nearly double the man-hours of the original, with the scenario being the most challenging aspect, particularly for returning characters whose stories were rewritten from scratch in a \"different world line.\" Usuda stated he wanted to sell the game at full price but chose a mid-range price point to make it accessible, comparing the company's approach to \"B-grade gourmet\" rather than high-end cuisine. He also addressed the decision to cut certain \"gentlemanly mini-games\" from the final release, calling it a reluctant but necessary choice, and shared the company's stance on user-created mods for their titles.","why_it_matters":"The interview positions qureate as the dominant home console developer in a market segment that Usuda describes as facing increasing headwinds, with the company choosing volume and accessibility over premium pricing to sustain its audience.","published_at":"2026-05-21T10:16:02.000Z","source_count":3,"sources":["Game*Spark","Inside","GameBusiness.jp"],"citations":[{"source":"Game*Spark","title":"Interview with qureate's Yujiro Usuda: \"Bunny Garden 2\"'s \"Reluctantly Cut Gentlemanly Mini-Games,\" Views on Mods, and the Latest on \"Sexy Games\" from the Biggest \"Gentleman-Oriented\" Developer","url":"http://www.gamespark.jp/article/2026/05/21/166728.html"},{"source":"Inside","title":"Interview with qureate's Yujiro Usuda: The Latest on \"Sexy Games\" from the Largest \"Gentleman-Oriented\" Developer, Including \"Reluctantly Cut Gentlemanly Mini-Games\" and Views on Mods","url":"https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2026/05/21/181684.html"},{"source":"GameBusiness.jp","title":"\"Bunny Garden 2\": \"Reluctantly Cut Gentlemanly Mini-Games\" and Views on Mods...
