I recently interviewed developer Wayforward about their upcoming game, Yars Rising. Specifically, I got to talk with the director of the game, James Montagna about all kinds of things, from how to pronounce his name to the circumstances surrounding the game’s development. Although we dive deep into a lot of the little details about the game and the thought process behind Yars Rising specifically, James also offered some insight into what goes into other games like this and how Wayforward functions. Some of his insights may even prove helpful for your own creative endeavors! James gave some great, detailed answers to my, let’s call them “musings”, so I hope you enjoy.
