This is the single best developer interview I've ever seen, it's ABUNDANTLY clear why Tunic is so damn amazing. Any game this man makes in the future I will instantly buy.
What an excellent interview. Particular appreciation for the insight offered by Andrew into his programming journey. I'd have happily listened to even more granular discussion on things like BASIC, GLUT and designing Hidden Object games.
This was an incredible interview and I'm so thankful for the time you and Andrew devoted to making it. TUNIC is literally "wonder-full". As an aspiring indie game dev, it was so warming to hear how authentically Andrew approached making the game, and that he isn't afraid to be candid about the realities and struggles of the process. As you said at the end, the passion for the game is so clear and yea... thank you again for making this video.
Jordan, could you please upload your original Tunic playthrough to TH-cam? Wonderful interview, I learned so much! (Hoping they bring back Train Jam some day.)
Thanks for existing Andrew. You've made one of the best games I've ever played in 30 years. Easily. This and the fabulous soundtrack from Lifeformed and Janice Kwan which is also an easy contender for best VG soundtrack of all time in my opinion.
Finished watching this interview and I have to say it was incredible, you did such a great job, your questions were so well thought out and I gained so much from watching this. Thank you!
Stumbled upon this interview recently. Jordan, this is quite incredible sir. Speaking as a game dev, we need more of this kind of candid long-form chats. Absolutely wonderful job on this and of course to everyone involved in creating Tunic. One of my fave all-time games the moment I was done playing it.
2:54:05 Thanks to this interview I learned that the Tunic fox plush that I own since two months contains a secret message and an in-game secret code. My mind is blown. Again.
this was an excellent interview! ive been listening to it in segments over the past few days just before bed and every time ive had to actively get myself to pause it just so i dont stay up way later than i intended to hahahah- also, i havent seen em explicitly mentioned yet here, but the little Did You Know... segments during the chapter transitions were so fun!! the tidbit of the Swamp portal being stolen by the Librarian was so cool, and now im gonna be left forever wondering what that void Garden Knight fight would've been like hahahah! amazing work on this video!!
So glad I checked your channel again. Loved your Myst playthrough and got to play Tunix on Gamepass. I was blown away by how good it was! Thank you for doing this interview.
I'm so happy you're back! I've been watching the Myst Retrospectives obsessively every few months back to back 😂 Hope to see more content of you in the future
I'm going to echo a sentiment I'm seeing all over the comment section but this might be the single best game development interview I've had the pleasure to watch. Thanks Jordan for the hard work and thanks Andrew for this wonderful game !
On 37:52 he sais that "such that" in mathvis the ruiner of the abstract form and I think how lucky (not lucky) I am as in my (russian) math school we use cryptic symbol : to denote that "such that" thing. So it's almost pure form except of "we will leave that as an exercise for the reader" in all the math books
Feels like I’m super late to the party, but I just found Tunic on game pass and I’ve absolutely fallen in love with it. Didn’t know what to expect, but I was not expecting Tunic to share so much DNA with Dark Souls. And that is right up my alley. Congrats on making such a great little game! And thank you as well! 😊
Wait what the heck I literally found this before the stream where you played the game randomized with shouldice. RADICOON!?! I literally didn’t even notice that’s CRAZYYY. I only put it together cause you mentioned it in your video but didn’t have it on your channel haha

Thank you for the interview, you two have great alchemy and your conversation was a real rare pleasure to listen to. Thanks a lot for your work :)
I just finished Tunic and was deeply intrigued by its design. This was perfect, thanks so much for making this interview happen

Loved the video. I have been watching it in chunks. Both of you did a great job. Thank you for posting this!
It's a rare treat to see such a longform developer interview! Thank you for doing this.

Surprised you didn't go into the Glyph Tower and it's secrets, that would've been fun to hear from Andrew about it.

Whomever hasnt experienced Tunic yet....don't wait any longer. Incredible achievement.

Thanks for this very in-depth interview. 3 and a half hours well spent!
Got linked this and the randomizer run on Reddit and loved them both! Kudos for setting all that up.
This is phenomenal. The ultimate sitdownwith.
Thank you!

Andrew is a treasure to this world and he must be protected at all costs.
He's very kind, yes :)
Glad to see you back!
Oooh I can’t wait to sit down and watch this!

I didn't even know you could parry until it was mentioned in this video lol
Wait, what? You can kill your self in the golden path file and see the dev world!? I beat this game on release and had no idea. 😂
Yep! Here's a video on the whole thing: th-cam.com/video/hkLB_s9KSBQ/w-d-xo.html
