The Epic Indie Sale just wrapped up on the Wii U eShop. As a bit of insight, that promotion resulted from an idea created by Black Forest Games.

KnapNok Games and Frozenbyte say that the Epic Indie Sale was a success. Both studios are open to a similar idea in the future, but Black Forest Games may need to be the company to put things in motion again.

KnapNok’s Anchel Labena and Frozenbyte’s Kai Tuovinen told NordicGameBits:

“It would be fun to take part in a similar promotion in the future for sure, but I’m not sure we’d be the ones to “run the show” so to say. Black Forest Games handled that really well, so a big thanks to them and everyone else taking part in the sale!” – Tuovinen says

“We’re always open for partnerships with other studios, whether it is for releasing the next game or having a special event like a sale together. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise if we announce a new collaboration in the future.” – Labena
