WolfEye Studios' founder Raphael Colantonio recently sat down with WellPlayed Australia to chat about his team's upcoming immersive sim Weird West that, among other things, will let you play as a Pigman. And if that's not a selling point, I don't know what is. So, if you'd like to know more about this project and the people behind it, you should check the interview out.
Here's a couple of sample questions to get you started:
WP: Devolver Digital has amassed something of a cult following in the industry over the past few years, how has it been working with the irreverent publisher?
RC: It’s been perfect. Devolver is amazing to work with; competent, great communicators, fun, fast to make decisions, flexible… a dev’s dream.
WP: Can you talk a little about the inspirations for the game? Other media, personal aspirations to create something in the Western genre and so on.
RC: We see it as our take on a fantasy version of the wild west, which seemed like a cool creative opportunity. A bit of horror, a subtle bit of supernatural stuff. I personally was a big fan of the HBO show “Carnival” that had an amazing balance between reality and the supernatural. References are always a touchy topic because what I see in there might not be what you see, it’s all filtered through perception.
