Vi lærer mer om Pode fra norske Henchmen & Goon!

Vi fikk et første glimt av Pode på den siste Nindies-Direct showcasen, og på PAX East slo vi av en prat med Linn Søvig fra Henchmen & Goon for å lære mer om det søte samarbeidsspillet, som er på vei til Nintendo Switch.

"It's a coop exploration puzzle game", sier Søvig. "And it's also very heavily influenced by Norwegian art and culture. So you get a very distinct art style out of it. Our game director, Yngvill Hopen, is also an art director as well, so you notice that she's had a visual style all along through the whole game."

Søvig, som blant annet har vært med på å starte både Spillpikene og spillutviklerkonferansen Konsoll, har følgende å si om valg av plattform:

"We started developing about three years ago and the Switch wasn't known at that time. But I think it became very evident, very early on, that it was a console game. And I mean console really work really well in the living room. So we've always pretty much thought of Xbox and PlayStation, maybe Wii U. But then the Nintendo Switch came and it was like 'oh my God, this is perfect for us'. And what we noticed as well when we started working with Nintendo Switch and porting the game to it, we found that it wasn't actually as hard as we thought it was going to be. It's just been such a perfect fit and Nintendo have been so warm and kind to us, as well. We want to make sure that we get out on the Nintendo first, and then later on we'll be looking at Xbox and PlayStation and PC."
