eXplorminate's interview with Erik Rutins

Post by KingHalford »

Hey folks,

Distant Worlds developer Erik Rutins very kindly agreed to an interview with us over at eXplorminate, mostly talking about the upcoming Distant Worlds 2! It was a really fun interview and Erik was an absolute pleasure to talk to.

Enjoy!

FYI...turn down headphones volume for the first 5 seconds if you do not want a jumpscare... Other than that. Great interview Erik.

Edit: Erik and Elliot, please do not overstress yourselves. We have waited 5 years. We can wait a little bit more.

Ah, I'll ask Rob to fade that music in, sorry about that!

I will never be disappointed with DW2, just knowing that you guys are building a solid foundation for the next iteration of the distant worlds experience is enough for me. Keep on keeping on guys!
