Shantae: Half-Genie Hero will still have plenty of surprises, says WayForward
Coming from a Thumbsticks interview with Matt Bozon...
T: With Kickstarter you have to be much more open about the the content of the game, will there still be plenty of surprises?
MB: Ha ha, well yes. Even though we revealed a lot (maybe too much) in our reveal of Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse in Nintendo Power last year, so many things change during the course of development that it doesn’t really matter in the end. The original germ of an idea is still in there though. That’s how I predict it will be with the Kickstarter project too. Backers will get a good idea of how games are made from watching the project evolve and take shape. But they won’t have the true experience until we release the Beta to backers at that reward tier… and ultimately to the public.
