It’ll be a lot of fun working out how to create a new monster breed that suits you, I really think by the end of the first portion of the game you’ll have a team of your own tailor-made species that are incredibly unique and will leave others scratching their heads over what you’ve made. When you breed Monster A and Monster B you’ll find yourself with a true mix of both parents, when it comes to appearance, stats, moveset, growth rates – when you mix two monsters, you truly create a new species. So, you could say the comparison gave me the freedom to introduce people to a different world by making use of their existing knowledge and expectations.īut the biggest difference is our true crossbreed system. But after that dungeon, you’re thrown into an open world where you can easily get yourself into trouble and will have to learn how to stay safe in a world that hasn’t quite been tamed by civilization yet. The familiarity with Pokémon allowed me to ease people into a totally different style – for example, you start off on a safe route, then a dungeon. So as you play the game, or even watch it, in the beginning, it feels quite familiar, but by the time you reach the 2-3 hour mark, you realize that you’re really in an entirely different world with a different feel and different rules. So I realized, hey, if people are going to assume they can expect Pokémon, maybe that presents an opportunity. Souls-like, Metroidvania games, these games wear their inspirations on their sleeves and it’s not a source of shame, but somehow being inspired by Pokémon makes you a bit of a pariah, you must be a knock-off. Jason Patrick Walsh: Well you’re absolutely right on the “always” part! I don’t think there’s any genre quite as unwelcoming toward newcomers as this one.
