Since leaving Tango Gameworks, Nakamura has engaged in freelance consulting, assisting other studios with art direction, character design, and overall visual development. She has also expressed interest in collaborating on various artistic projects beyond game development.

Nakamura has actively explored opportunities for independent game development, potentially forming a new studio or working on smaller-scale projects. Specific details about these ventures are still under wraps, but she has expressed a desire to create games that reflect her unique artistic vision and cultural background.

Nakamura has officially announced the creation of her own indie game studio.
