Sonic co-creator has updated one of his games while condemned to prison

Back in June 2023, Yuji Naka was charged with a 30-month prison sentence for insider trading during his time at Square Enix working on Balan Wonderworld. And we've learned something about what he's up to this week.

So, Naka has rolled out an update for Pirates of Coin, a mobile game released in 2016 by PROPE, an indie studio he co-founded after leaving Sega.

"After 8 years,I have updated our PROPE application Pirates of Coin. It was built in Unity 5 at the time, but I had to update a lot of things while there are a lot of Unitys between now and Unity 6. I changed Javascript to C# and supported a lot of Obsoletes."

We don't know what Juji Naka has planned for his gaming career once he's out of prison.
