Drinkbox talks potential for Severed, Guacamelee sequels, dev challenges & more

GN Version 5.0

The following comes from a Reddit AMA with the Drinkbox team...

- added a new mode to Wii U/3DS to make it more accessible for casual players
- considered adding a hard mode, but ran out of time
- game was originally going to be a "short" project for Drinkbox with a 1 year development, but it took over 2 years
- content was cut from the original idea, including additional areas and bosses
- not thinking about Severed 2 at this moment
- would love to work on a 2D Metroid
- inspiration for Severed came from team member Augusto and his experiences being away from family
- it was challenging giving the story real meaning and impact and marrying that with gameplay
- 'always a chance' of a physical release for Severed
- as far as a Guacamelee 2, the team would 'love to return to the Guac world at some point in the future'
- last-minute issues cropped up with the 3DS version, which temporarily halted it from getting through certification

The team also shared a look at the original pitch video for Severed, which you can check out for yourself below.
