“I need to increase the Dave the Diver IP itself. I believe that’s each director’s dream, since we’ve a relatable character. However truly, we didn’t go actually deep into the private tales in Dave the Diver, as a result of we needed to maintain the sport very informal.”
“In order a director, moreover the story DLC that we’re engaged on proper now, I additionally need to make separate video games about every character to indicate how they met, what they did earlier than coming to the Blue Gap. In that sense, the video games’ genres could be completely different. Possibly sooner or later, if we begin to make a Dave’s backstory sport, we may make Dave [another profession]. He’s at all times been a diver, so we actually haven’t thought of how we should always transfer with Dave.”

“ I believe we’ll keep small. I imply, the definition of small could be various. Dredge, they solely have 4 folks on the event workforce. However I believe the 20 to 30 folks workforce is right.”
“It’s simpler to speak and simpler to be on the identical web page that manner. I believe Mintrocket can get larger sooner or later when it comes to dimension, if we’re assured in what we’re doing proper now.”
“However which means we’ll have extra groups of comparable dimension, or possibly we’ll begin to do some publishing stuff. But it surely doesn’t imply that we’re going to have an enormous 100 folks workforce.”
