Episode 35.8: Which Way Up Galaxy Games Interview, Smoke Trailer, Good Fortune Trailer, Frankenstein Trailer, and Gen V Season 2

Welcome back to another episode of the Online Warriors Podcast! This week we have a very special episode! We got to sit down with Nick Cellini to discuss Which Way Up Galaxy Games AND we dropped some movie/ TV trailers.

- Can you tell us a bit about your background? And how did you get into game development? (0:50)

- What were some early games, genres, or creators that inspired you creatively? (4:35)

- How did the concept for Which Way Up first come together? Was it a solo idea or something the team at Turtle Flip brainstormed collectively? (6:37)

- What were some of the biggest challenges in designing physics-based gameplay across multiple gravity fields? (10:23)

- How did you approach balancing fun and accessibility for both seasoned players and younger or casual gamers? (14:21)

- All of the minigames are, in part, time trial based challenges. Is this to keep pacing through the throughout the gameplay - so no mini game over stays its welcome - or do you enjoy the rush of a ticking clock? (20:58)

- Which Way Up includes 12 distinct minigames for multiplayer play. Can you talk about the development process of one specific mini-games - perhaps one that went through the most iteration? (22:50)

- If you had unlimited time and budget, what wild feature or mode would you add to Which Way Up? (29:04)

- What advice would you give to an aspiring developer with a wild idea and no clue where to start? (36:56)

- Smoke Trailer (46:57) - Good Fortune Trailer (52:47) - Frankenstein Trailer (58:42) - Gen V Season 2 (1:06:32)
