I think the reason games like Season fail is because they are not games. They are closer to a visual novels, and from the look of it, it seems to have a rather boring story.
Very insightful and interesting discussion, thank you for doing the interview and discussing a very interesting topic! I would love to hear how demos impact the sales. From a user POV, the demos are great as you can more easily judge if you'll like the game and spend your money wisely. On another hand I can imagine this could affect an idie game sales significatly, as the players would just play the demo for 20-30 minutes, feel like they've had enough of the game and never come back to actually buy it... p.s. Pyre is a hidden gem and my fav Supergiant's game. It has the perfect blend of very personal storytelling, the plot is heavy on themes, gameplay is intricately woven into the story and vice virsa, and the OST is the most diverse soundtrack Darren Korb has written yet, ranging from upbeat metal to classical orchestral sound, back to uplifting chill tracks and into the eldrich horror chanting. Did I mention the main song of the game has Nine varietions in different styles and genres with different lyrics? No, no I haven't, I think I'll say that again. Main song has N i n e versions and you'll hear all of them during your playthrough. Plus the credits song remembers your big choices and will be personal for each playthrough too! Pyre is great, go play it

Did you play Season?
Sadly, no. I was in the middle of something else - I don't even remember what - and it just fell right off my radar.
Honestly I enjoyed it but it didn't hit me super hard. Still worth being more successful I think
The “sure” head nod 😂 25:05
That whole question makes me laugh but i had to quit watching that part while editing so i could finish it lol
This video goes hard, you deserve more recognition and attention, keep it up sir!
Thank you! That's so kind!
More on the way 😍
Do you know how down I would be for a cute and cuddly 4X game?
I mean same
I played that for a day I should play it again..
I enjoyed it. Not the best game of all time but good
This was so interesting. Great chat!
Thanks!
these are some very fascinating insights!
Right?!

I am with you that they are more like an art film or a piece of literature, but calling them not games is reductive
Fascinating stuff
Thanks!

I'm not sure! But I sure did play the demo of ffxvi and never play the rest. But we did buy it and my husband played it
This is a great vid. I love bringing the UX Design mindset into the gaming space
Thanks!
This was awesome and insightful! Thanks to both of you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yo its not PS exclusive?? Shit now i gotta get it, i had crossed this off my list because of that, now i know its not I gotta get it!
I hate the fact that IGN are rating walking sims a 10 out of 10
Not every game needs to be an action game my guy
Awesome video Matt, and great discussion gents!
Appreciate it!
