Great interview! Many interesting and new bits of information (to me at least):
-I had assumed it was John who asked for the game to be non-violent; looks like I was wrong.
-Now I understand what 'pass and play' means. Great!
-If the company considers including 8-bit music which doesn't exist right now, I imagine the release of the game won't happen any time soon. Maybe by the end of the year?
-What was the "special bonus" you thanked Ivar for? Did he show you new images/video of the game?
By the way, Damien, I also read your recent interview with Jordan. I liked this one bit in particular - I think it's great:
"Is the music so crazy that you need to do crazy videos ?
Yes."I want to thank you again for mentioning my post to John in March. It was a great first half of the year for me - new (and amazing, in my opinion) album, being mentioned to John, then taking part in a Q&A with JP/JR in Luna Park (I got to ask the first question
), and attending the live show later that night. It's the closest I've been to a favourite band, and this year marks a decade since I became a fan, so I've been feeling really happy.
