For these not aware of me, I’m the solodev most recognized “that indie XSX launch title with the large birds” or the man that obtained the jitters and chickened out of an opportunity to satisfy Phil Spencer (after I heard he undoubtedly performed my sport… ooh shit).

I’ve all the time had fun right here on r/xbox , loads of of us right here have given the Falconeer an opportunity and even when important, have been good about it (sorry in regards to the rotating minimaps!) , so after I obtained requested to do an AMA I jumped on it. We are able to talk about the present gen of xbox {hardware}, gamepass, indie growth, modding, normal trade state, you identify it.
