Have you ever had the chance to surprise someone you really admire?
I recently had this chance – to surprise Nicolas Doucet with congratulations (and a cake!) Celebrating his victory for Game and the Asobi Asobi team for the Game Awards Astro! It was such a funny moment … None of us are experienced talk show hosts and I was able to light up on him when he nervously recorded his own intro for this entry into the Creator To Creator series of Sony.
But although it was a super fun song, it also broke the ice – and gave us the chance to really enjoy telling us about our personal experiences to make games…. On the principles we use to try to shape the design and tone of our work. While our teams from Team Asobi and Sucker Punch Productions make games that appear on the surface are very different – we have discovered how many shared values we have and how our teams have in common.
Nico shares many insightful reflections on the way Team Asobi makes their games, how they think of the novelty of the mixture with difficulties, and even the way in which they have designed some of our characters Sucker Punch in their games.
Then he turned the tables on me and we were able to talk about the nervousness that we both had our first games for Sony, some of the lessons learned during the development Tsushima ghostAnd what moments of the game stood the most.
I left our conversation by feeling super inspired and appreciable to have the chance to have spent this time talking to Nico and learning from him. I hope you appreciate this creator to the half creator that I surprised him and discussed with Nico!
Appreciate!
