Hi! I just made a quick account for this AMA.
I wanna start by saying that I love Darkwood. I believe it's a special type of horror not only because it has zero jumpscares (at least by design), but also because it teaches you to -be brave-. You don't make it far in the game without the courage to walk towards the danger, weapons in hand, and fight it for your survival.
My questions are the next, and I appreciate any info you would kindly provide:
- A lot of people comment on Darkwood being special in terms of horror (the zero jumpscares thing I mentioned). How do you feel about those comments? And what did you learn about horror or game-making from such experience?
- Soccer Kids looks great! Im about to play it the alpha as I finish writing this. It's fascinating to see you depart so far in tone from your past success with Darkwood. Are there any concerns or fear you have, switching to such a different mood? Or is it perhaps a nice breather?
- Releasing Darkwood's torrent in TPB was a bold and well-received move and I dare say we all thank you for it. Were there any concerns or cons you considered while weighing the decision? Would you do it again, with Soccer Kids or another game? What requirements would need to be fulfilled before releasing a torrent again?
Those are my questions, and while I have much more I'd like to say, this isn't the place for a 18000 words essay on how cool you guys are. Thank you for everything and I wish you the best!
