With no doubt, Trine was once of the most surprising game of last year. It was an impressing experience for lots of gamers of every age with fairytale feeling of its great narrative and visual depth; as well as its nice game mechanics with strong contribution of physics. Even more this epic journey retrieved Turkish language support on April as you know already.
So we decided to make an interview with Frozenbyte, the developer of Trine. This is not only on Trine of course; we have some questions about Shadowgrounds, the very first game of Frozenbyte, future projects and current situation of independent game industry.
Let’s make long story short; Lauri Hyvärinen, Frozenbyte CEO and designer of Trine, is answering our humble questions…
Poor reception hasn't killed this series. A document released this week by the EU Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), confirming projects it plans to help fund in 2018, has revealed that a number of indie studios are working on new games.
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "Pulkkinen is a relatively new face in the video game industry. Thus far he has worked exclusively on games developed by Finnish game studios, but I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the near future his music begins to attract attention from elsewhere as well. Given that he is only 34 years old he likely has many more years ahead of him in the video game industry."
"One of the oldest and most integral genres in video gaming is platforming. In the simplest idea, these games involve progressing an avatar through a series of obstacles by jumping from one platform to another. Originating back in the 1980s, platformers are not a pure genre; there is a tendency for other game types to mix in with platforming. For example, Contra gave rise to “run and gun” games; these are a cross of platforming and shooters."-- PlayStation Enthusiast
