Before all the fighting with demons, when it was just Guts and Griffith trying to get by – taking up the fight for whichever lord paid them the most. I’ve always wanted to play a game as the Band of the Hawk, focusing on the day-to-day operations of their mercenary company. I’ve read your experience for the company was the Band of the Hawk in Berserk (which I’m an absolute fan of), how can we see that influence in the game or what did you pick up from Miura’s classic manga? Even though they brought delays, those changes were necessary to make the game better, and we’re glad we did them. There were some changes that derailed our initial estimates: most of our combat environments were scrapped in favor of larger ones, and dungeon exploration was visually reimagined with new mechanics tacked on to it. It was a long journey for sure! Though the visuals looked good, the game was still very early in development when we did our Kickstarter, and we underestimated how much work still remained. How did those five years influence the overall development of the game? How was the overall journey from first project to finally getting into Early Access on Steam? It was certainly stressful, but we exceeded our goal and couldn’t have asked for it to have gone much better! It also really helped us gain an early following, and reassured us that there was indeed a market for the type of game we were making. The game was first successfully kickstarted back in 2017, but you’ve only recently came out with a playable beta. SECOND TURN – STARTING OUT ON KICKSTARTER In 2016, we decided to go full-time as indie developers and began working on The Iron Oath. Following that project, we kicked around a few other ideas for games, but none got too far in development. Chris – who was in between contracts with Electronic Arts at the time – did all the programming, and Nik used his background in graphic design to make the art for it. The two of us started working together in 2009 on a hobby game that we casually developed over a few years. Where do you come from as developers, what are your background and experience? So, let us go and ask them how was the experience and what happened with their 2017 Kickstarter. Indeed, the turn-based strategy game is actually their first. That makes The Extra Fabulous Experience the first graphic novel and tabletop game hybrid campaign from Skybound, who've seen success in both those areas on Kickstarter but never merged them together before – so it'll be interesting to see if future graphic novel Kickstarters have some kind of gaming component too.Chris Wingard and Nik Mueller – developers of The Iron Oath – have been working in the industry for quite some years now, but do not really have a list of games they have previously worked on professionally. Stafford's The Extra Fabulous Experienceīut then there's the surprising addition of Boo-ty Call, a party card game the company describes as "lonely mediums interpret cryptic answers from a sexy ghost in a race to score." Yes, that kind of score – this is Extra Fabulous, after all. There's two parts to this "Experience"– to start, Good Comics for Bad People: An Extra Fabulous Collection is, like the title says, the first-ever graphic novel collection of the eponymous webcomics with exclusive guest comics from big names like Mr Lovenstein, Cyanide & Happiness, The Oatmeal and Safely Endangered. And that might be because fans guessed that Stafford had a fun twist planned for this launch. Stafford that I'm told has amassed over 200% of their typical pre-release signups.
Today they continued that push with the launch of The Extra Fabulous Experience, a new Kickstarter campaign based on the popular webcomics from Zach M.
