I say maybe since the answer would likely be "none" if confronted with that in actuality I very much enjoy creating my own worlds to experience. Jdodson: If you could work on any video game property what would it be?Īlex Preston(Heart Machine Games): Maybe F-Zero. Could be the build had some frame rate stutter, as it is still pre-alpha. There are a few milliseconds of hold on the attacks and some other moments to add impact and weight to the gameplay. I prefer people to experience the story and character progression themselves once they play.Īlex Atkins: After some playtesting at PAX East, the character animations seem a bit 'framey', is this an intentional allusion to a bygone era of games with limited hardware and choppier framerates?Īlex Preston(Heart Machine Games): Hmm, not sure precisely what you may have noticed our animation is fairly fluid, as each character is loaded with a large amount of hand drawn frames. I am wondering if you can share a bit about The Drifter?Īlex Preston(Heart Machine Games): Intentionally so! I don't want to spoil anything. Jdodson: So far, the story details of Hyper Light Drifter are pretty sparse. ![]() A major influence for myself in creating this game has been Miyazaki films, primarily Nausicaa. I think we're all deeply affected by great film and music and literature of any kind, with the qualifying factor of "good". Are there any such instance for the Heart Machine team? Are there any specific cases of something outside the arena of video games (such as film, literature, music, or otherwise) that have profoundly affected your creative process?Īlex Preston(Heart Machine Games): Of course. We are both excited about the game and he agreed to toss a few questions in the interview to give it a different perspective.Īlex Atkins: Many developers (and artists in general) are influenced by things that don't directly relate to their art, such as the lyrics of a song influencing the story of a video game. I decided to take a different approach to this interview and reached out to one of my friends Alex Atkins, the lead writer of Monsters Ate my Birthday Cake. After the last trailer dropped at PAX East I wanted more information on how things were progressing with the game and contacted Heart Machine Games. Like many of you I was dazzled with the Kickstarter and am on the edge of my seat awaiting more information on it's development. ![]() Hyper Light Drifter is an upcoming 2D action RPG.
