Kojima Productions' Death Stranding director Hideo Kojima recently announced the game was profitable and his next project is currently in the planning stages.

""I can’t say anything since it’s still in the planning stages, but we’re doing various work behind the scenes. Just recently, a big project fell apart, so I’m a bit upset about that (laughs)," said Kojima at the time. "Well, that sort of thing happens often in this industry."

Kojima has now taken to Twitter to tease the concept for his next project and how he designs the games with art director Yoji Shinkawa. The first thing they do is "discuss the setting for each character, the background, the world, the color, the characteristics, the roles, the images, ideas and keyword going back [and] forth."

In a followup tweet he revealed his work on the concept for the next project and is listening to the track Oasis by Kitaro.

Death Stranding is available now for the PlayStation 4 and will launch for Windows PC on July 24.

Here's my way of designing new title w/Yoji. 1st we discuss the setting for each character, the background, the world, the color, the characteristics, the roles, the images, ideas and keyword going back&forth via E-mail. WFH & 20 mins direct discussion. Mostly texting via iPhone. pic.twitter.com/XCYpFwsQ6U
