Moon Studios is one to watch
Oh thank goodness:Ori and the Blind Forest“was already profitable a week after release,” according to Moon Studios’ Thomas Mahler, and publisher “Microsoft is super happy.”
Oriwasn’t just a delight, it was also something of a surprise. I knew to expectsweet blissfrom the art direction and animation, but I didn’t think the movement and eventual attacks would feel so right. As much as a sequel would surely do well for Moon Studios, I likedOrias a one-off story just fine and would rather see that talent go toward a new property (orMetroidorCastlevania).
Mahler added that the team is busy working on a patch for the game now that’s expected to go live soon. “I’m also dabbling around with a few prototypes,”he wrote on NeoGAF. “There are five potential things we have in the oven right now (spanning from smaller to huge projects) and I’d love to talk about these games, but as usual, we have to keep things secret for a while longer.”
