MinnMax Interview - How Drinkbox Pulled Off Nobody Saves The World (Patreon)

In this new interview, Ben Hanson speaks with Drinkbox Studios' lead designer Ian Campbell and concept lead Augusto Quijano about creating their new (and excellent) action RPG called Nobody Saves the World. You might be familiar with Drinkbox's previous work such as Guacamelee, Tales from Space, or Severed. In this interview, we talk about how the small team created such an addicting and satisfying progression system, cut characters, and a whole lot more. The game is now available on Steam and Game Pass, we'll be talking all about it on The MinnMax Show this week as well.
