Thanks, that's kind of you.

Too many game developers in general feel that bigger is better. "Crysis is better because it's got big landscape, etc." That's ok for some games like GTA, but for an adventure, I'd rather have a small selection of locations filled with many characters, great amounts of colour and detail to everything on screen than a bland, gigantic city.

In many ways I agree with you. I'm not saying that I think that BS3 was bad, but it was perhaps spread out much more than it needed to be.
One of the strengths of So Blonde is that the whole game takes place in a relatively small place, we re-use locations and re-visit characters and many of them develop along the way. We had a lot of fun with this game. I want to build on that with my own ideas.
