It was a genuine shock to to discover mid-interview that Joakim “Konjak” Sandberg was working on WayForward’s upcomingAdventure Timegame. It was even more surprising to hear that to Konjak, theAdventure Timegig was just another job. Don’t work folks, his casual attitude towards his amazing work did nothing dampen my excitement. Joakim is one of my favorite sprite animators ever. His work onNoitu Love 2andThe Iconoclastsis nothing short of classic. To know he’ll be helping to bring Jake and Finn to the small screen has me all the more confident thatAdventure Timewill be one of my favorite games of the year.
We also got a little into game design priorities, and one of Joakim’s ideas for an… ice skating game? It all made a lot more sense in context. You can check out thefull episode here, or grab it inPodcast form here. For listening.
Thanks again to Joakim for being on the show, and be sure to check out this Sunday’s show, featuring Rami Ismail from Vlambeer, developer ofSuper Crate BoxandRidiculous Fishing. It should be a hoot!
