Its not that corporations are evil, its just that having no control over what the future will bring is extremely demoralizing. I cant think on how miserable life would be working at a big corporation. VC: Going indie has surpassed all my expectations. What has the experience been like working at an independent studio? We are seeing a lot more support for indies these days. Is it game critics? Is it the Metacritic score? Is it the sales? Or is it the mail that we get from our fans thanking us for making the game? Six months after the release of this game, I've realized that the real success is receiving mail, tweets and other kinds of feedback from people sharing their experience on how Papo has helped them cope with their struggle. However, it is difficult to judge what success actually is. Now that my fathers alcoholism is no longer a secret, I feel free.ĭeep in the idealistic recesses of my brain, I hoped that doing a game about helping others in a meaningful way would have a chance for success. It took me many years of therapy just to be able to talk about it to others, and many more to share it through a video game.
Vander Caballero: The biggest challenge is being ready to open your story to the world. What was the biggest challenge when designing a game around highly personal themes? Did you get the reaction that you had expected when Papo & Yo released? Well find out more as development progresses, but for now, we asked Creative Director Vander Caballero and Design Director Ruben Farrus questions about their new game, the reception and reaction to Papo & Yo and where the industry is heading. He collects nature spirits that can manipulate the world around you and shapeshift to get into hard to reach places.
All we know about the gameplay is that you play as an unnamed boy whos trying bring the warmth of spring back into the harsh winter environment. The games theme and content is also inspired by the culture and legends of the Cree aboriginals, one of the largest groups of Native Americans living in North America. Minority Media hopes to keep pushing the boundaries with their next project, Silent Enemy, a game that weaves in the subject of bullying and is set in the frozen northern region of Canada. Papo & Yos touching story on loss and alcoholism tackles subjects that arent often found in video games, at least not yet.
