13AM Games on how Runbow’s guest character appearances came to be
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Runbow features guest appearances from a bunch of other indie titles. The lineup includes Rusty from SteamWorld Dig, Shovel Knight from Yacht Club’s indie hit, and plenty more.
13AM Games spoke about how these collaborations came to be in an interview with Toronto GameDevs. The studio explained:
It all started at IndieCade 2014, where Nintendo invited us to demo our game. At the event, our booth was next to developers like Yacht Club Games and Ronimo Games. Our character at the time, Hue, had a pretty similar facial structure to Shovel Knight and the we jokingly asked if we could throw him in our game. After hearing the idea out loud, both sides realized it was actually an interesting proposition. They agreed and we used this show of faith and a little help from Nintendo to reach out and contact as many indie Wii U developers we could. Due to the awesome nature of indie developers, we received a bunch of positive feedback and quickly assembled a pretty large cast of interesting characters. From there, it was just on our artist’s to realize these other characters in our art style and make them all work, and I think they nailed it.
Runbow is due out sometime in Q3. No specific release date yet, though we’ll let you know as soon as we hear something on that front.
