NWR: Are you familiar with the other ball-rolling WiiWare games, Niki Rock'n Ball and Night Game? If so, what are the differences between those games and Furry Legends?
LS: I think that Night Game is awesome. When we saw the trailers first, we were like 'Holy Crap! It's an artesque Furry Legends, we're doomed!'. I think that art direction, the general feeling of the evening ambience, and the music are really good. Our game is different in many ways of course. We have a compelling story, colorful, 3D world, funny characters, dialogues and so on. Night Game is a different, yet somewhat similar experience. I think we're approaching the rolling genre from two different directions. I'm a die-hard fan of Nicklas [Nygren’s] Knytt Stories, so I expect nothing less in terms of detail and ambience from Night Game.
Niki on the other hand, well, there's nothing really similar about these games, except that they're about a ball. I don't want to be overly critical about the BPlus' work, as indie devs shouldn't bash each other. Furry Legends is different in terms of gameplay, story, graphical quality, controls, level design, characters and so on. We've played Niki here, and we learned a couple of things we shouldn't do in our game.
On one of the websites, someone called us a 'bastard child of Niki and Lost Winds'. I think we're more of a child of Night Game and Lost Winds, really. Except the fact that we started the development way before Night Game was announced. It's sort of a time paradox if you think about it
It seems that Gamelion were quick to distance themselves away from Bplus, despite jumping into bed with OverTheTopGames to get Nyx in their game. Quite interesting eh?
There's nothing stupid about football! And there's nothing at all stupid about the Annual All-Priests Five-a-Side over 75s Indoor Football Challenge Match, against Rugged Island.
They were probably just annoyed at people on the internet who kept comparing their game to the amateur garbage from the bedroom coders at Bplus. That interview said that Gamelion have like 100 employees, they must know what they are doing.
Whats all this about 50x better than Bit.Trip anyway? Who said that?
Hang on a minute Knuckles, I thought you were good pals with Bplus. You can't say that!!!
I can't wait to get to play Furry Legends myself, aside from the amusing anthropomorphic fetish association with the game's title it does look pretty damn good. I expect the production values to be at least equal to that of NyxQuest, if not even better!
