Josef Fares – founder of Hazelight Studios and director of game of the year winner 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:It Takes Two, as well as the massively popular 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Split Fiction &ndash♉; looks back on his past games and tells us their "💎numbers" really weren't good.

"Here's the thing: there was always a big, big risk in the beginning," Fares says in an interview with the Edge newsletter. "But I have extreme confidence in what we do. I trust in the core [of the idea]. Brothers, A Way Out, It Takes Two – all the numbers looked really, really 🐷bad. Now it's different, because we've kind of become this big developer, but still, with those early games, I just felt like, 'The core is great, I just know it.' So, trust in your vision, and go with it fully. Don't back away from that."

by the end of 2024 – but it took a month to get to one million. By contrast, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Split🧸 Fiction sold one million in just tw﷽o days, so clearly Hazelight is on the up.

Fares may have been🌠 refer♌ring to wishlists, pre-orders, some sort of market research to do with how much people wanted co-op games.

In our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Split Fiction review, we wrote that the title "cements Hazelight as the ma✨ster of co-op games." I've loved Fares' games since his first, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, and I'm glad he's had the support and investment from publish🌠ers to keep making the kind of co-op games he loves, too.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fares also praises EA in his Edge interview♓, saying: "I'm gonna give EA props for actuall🌊y believing in, and backing up, the vision. They never interfere. Sometimes, I think they get so much s**t they don't deserve. I don't know how they work with others, but with us, it's super good."
