Samorost?

Squarejaw, your link goes to the article image gallery, so here's the link to the interview itself.

I'm not Amanita's spokesman or anything

, but I hadn't realized how much they were really depending on sales of Samorost 2, so if ever there was a case to be made for "supporting the industry", this is probably it. The free portion is so extensive that it's pretty tempting not to pay for the second chapter. But it'd be a sad day in Whoville if these guys couldn't afford to make any more games.

And many thanks to Jakub, who was a little concerned about his English, but did a great job nonetheless!

We know your thesis was embraced publicly. How was it received academically?

Not very well, to tell you the truth. I received a 'B' for it. The committee didn't understand too well why I created a computer game in the department where animated film was traditional.

Ahh, the irony.

EDIT: Moving this to Site Feedback because it's specific to the interview.

Great interview.

The game is really fun and original. I'm considering purchasing it, both to support the creator and to experience the full game.
