"What is the scariest part of releasing a very difficult game?"
- Benedict Fritz - Tumbleseed
"The scariest part is definitely that you know there are going to be a lot of people who bounce off of it very hard. You sort of brace for that pain haha"

"How far do you feel a reviewer should get in a game before posting a review? Do you feel like the difficultly in your game or other roguelike games hurt reviews because the reviewers do not have the time to fully delve into the mechanics of the game?"

"Roguelikes are all about the journey. So I think all that's necessary for a good perspective on the game is an understanding of the game's mechanics and world. You do not need to beat TumbleSeed to enjoy or understand it."

"Did your time designing the Switch version of TumbleSeed inspire any ideas for mechanics in future games that would specifically leverage the HD Rumble? You seem to have put more effort into the system than pretty much any other game, with the possible exception of 1-2 Switch. Would you consider designing a game around this phenomenon, or does it feel more like an ancillary bonus?"
- D-LaskDavid Laskey - Tumbleseed
"The whole time I was working with HD Rumble I was having to fight off other prototype ideas so I could focus on finishing this game haha. I think there's a LOT of potential with hidden information games (like having certain rumbles silently convey textures/details to players without others knowing in local multiplayer games) and accessibility options in general for those who may have trouble hearing. It's basically an extra axis for audio cues for player feedback now that rumble can have detail!
We were blown away with 1-2 Switch with that ball game. I kinda want to prototype just a pair of maracas to shake in a simple rhythm game haha"

"Did you consider any other modes? Perhaps an easier mode? (Blush)
I'm loving the game so far"
- Greg Wohlwend
"Thanks!
The difficulty curve is something we worked on nearly the whole time making this game. I know it's tough but in a roguelike where you're playing over and over it's important that it be interesting to some degree whether it's your 5th or your 5,000th run. I still find the forest to contain interesting choices even though I've been playing the game for years now.
Another reason there's no difficulty modes: It wouldn't be the same game. Our game, just like our inspiration Ice Cold Beer, is about difficulty. If there was an option to change that, everyone would do it because they're looking for help and that would really change the experience and meaningfulness of coming to revelations on your own. TS is a weird game! It's a different kind of game. It's not about trying really hard and APM etc. it's actually about going slowly, being patient and "going with the flow" of the movement.
I know it can be frustrating to learn some of the hard lessons in TS, too, but it's really the best way to learn them. I personally believe consequences in games should be clear and decisive. If you can, try to enjoy the journey and the small victories. "

"Where did you get the idea from?"
- aeiowu Greg Wohlwend
"It was actually from an old 80s arcade game called Ice Cold Beer! Benedict and I would play that occasionally between rounds of an intense 10 player team-based arcade game called "Killer Queen" at our local barcade here in Chicago. There's a bit more about it here if you're interested: https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/2/15514 ... -ps4-steam"

"Questions on HD rumble: An article was posted here yesterday about the time spent on HD rumble for this game. Playing it last night, it's very subtle but it definitely shows. The different seeds feel subtly different as they roll down the vine.
Are the rumbles for each seed procedurally generated based on the shape of the seed, or are they essentially 'animations' or 'sound files' that are sped up or amplified?
What's your thoughts on HD rumble after having implemented it in Tumbleseed? Do you hypothetically see untapped potential for using it in the future?"
- D-LaskDavid Laskey
"I can't speak to specifics on how the assets work (don't wanna break NDA's and such), but what I can say is that we designed a few different rumbles for seeds that are similarly shaped. We felt that making different rumbles for all 30+ seed powers would have made the differences too subtle or distracting.
I'm personally excited for future games that use HD Rumble. With new tech developers are constantly pushing each other with new and interesting ways to use it. I hope it's something that continues to give Switch games a unique flavor!"

"One of my favorite things about Tumbleseed are the quirky and off the wall dialogue bits from the NPSeeds. Sure it adds silliness and a quirk to the game but it also gives story and depth too. How did you go about making such lovable little characters with so little to go off of? Was it challenging to give personality to otherwise clean and simple designs?
I've been having a blast with the game! It would be amazing to one day add this to a physical collection!

"Hahaha "NPSeeds" is incredible, I can't believe we never thought of that! TumbleSeed's world has a pretty detailed history to it -- something that grew organically and we all have in the back of our minds (and written down in Greg's notebooks). Once we had that base, having the different characters in the world express themselves became a lot easier since we all understood their roles in the world."

"Awesome game! Third area is really hard, haven't gotten far in it yet.
Do y'all have any favorite roguelike/lite titles?
Also, any games that you really want to come to the Switch?"
- D-LaskDavid Laskey
I'm gonna be one of the countless folks waiting for Overwatch on the Switch. I know accuracy/auto aim/etc. on consoles is better on PC but I'm imagining a life where I can lay down in bed and play Overwatch and it's a future worth fighting for "
- aeiowuGreg Wohlwend
"Thanks!
My favorite roguelike has gotta be Spelunky. If you're a fan you might recognize some of our design inspiration we took from it all over TS. And to answer your other question. Spelunky. haha"
Son como yo (okno) Quieren Spelunky y Overwatch en Switch
