Dear Gamer,
I wasn't quite sure what to write here; if you've played the MINOS demo, I'd be preaching to the choir; you're probably already sold on the game.
Part of the reason the game is so lovable is that, compared to all our previous games, I gave up on You. The broad, general, "target audience", "market demographic", You.
With our previous projects, we tried to anticipate what players want. What genres does the market want now? What are some features players demand or expect? Trying to make informed, analytical decisions. And while those games were really well received (93%, 94% positive), they weren't successful enough, and the studio suffered significant scaling down.
There's a finite number of millions of dollars you can burn through before whoever's investing loses patience. And so, I thought to myself, looking left and right as the industry is brought to its knees in the current ongoing crisis: well, f**k it. Might as well do something I'm super excited about doing. For some cosmic weird reason, Devolver obliged. When thinking about them, I think about this Frank Zappa interview explaining the music industry (google: Zappa music business). That's a good thing. But I digress.
I present to you MINOS, a game that I had no idea how to put together when I first thought about it (and I found it extremely enticing), of which I'm super proud, and for which I'm super thankful to the Artificer team and all contributors who helped us out.
Hope you enjoy it!
(If you do - be sure to review it)
