Chatting with VGC, Dave The Diver creator and newly-appointed CEO of Mintrocket Jaeho Hwang mentioned that he’d wish to take the IP into uncharted waters by creating video games primarily based round numerous characters from the primary recreation and seeing what tales may very well be instructed about them.
The statements come after Mintrocket’s latest break up from guardian firm Nexon, which granted it independence following the success it had with Dave The Diver.
“I wish to develop the Dave the Diver IP itself. I believe that’s each director’s dream, since now we have a relatable character. However truly, we didn’t go actually deep into the non-public tales in Dave the Diver, as a result of we needed to maintain the sport very informal.”
“In order a director, in addition to the story DLC that we’re engaged on proper now, I additionally wish to make separate video games about every character to point out how they met, what they did earlier than coming to the Blue Gap. In that sense, the video games’ genres may be completely different. Perhaps at some point, if we begin to make a Dave’s backstory recreation, we may make Dave [another profession]. He’s at all times been a diver, so we actually haven’t thought of how we should always transfer with Dave.”
Hwang additionally signaled a want for Mintrocket to stay tightly knit and smaller in measurement, regardless of the liberty it had now been granted.
“ I believe we’ll keep small. I imply, the definition of small may be different. Dredge, they solely have 4 folks on the event crew. However I believe the 20 to 30 folks crew is good.”
“It’s simpler to speak and simpler to be on the identical web page that method. I believe Mintrocket can get greater sooner or later by way of measurement, if we’re assured in what we’re doing proper now.”
“However which means we’ll have extra groups of comparable measurement, or perhaps we’ll begin to do some publishing stuff. But it surely doesn’t imply that we’re going to have an enormous 100 folks crew.”
