Before it became a hit Metroidvania, The 🌜Messenger was only a pitch in its direc🍒tor's mind - and one that wasn't exactly a big hit with their old employer.

In an on the making of Sabotage Studio's JRPG prequel to The Messenger, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sea of Stars, director Thierry Boulanger touched on the series' origins. Apparently, he ꧙had originally pitched The Messenger at a studio while he was working as a gameplay programmer, well before he started up Sabotage. His pit𒊎ch was soundly rejected.

"I actually pitched The Messenger to my employer, who said, 'well there you have it, you aren't a designer, get back to coding," Boulanger said. "It was pretty clear that, when someone says 'you can't do something', it just means you can'🧸t do it with them."

Of course, The Messenger went on to become one of the best indies of 2018, and it's solely due to its success that we're getti🌸ng a follow-up in the form of our most-antic🅰ipated JRPG of 2023. For reference, it's sitting at 7,157 "very positive" reviews on Stea𓃲m alone at the time of writing.
