Talking to VGC, Dave The Diver creator and newly-appointed CEO of Mintrocket Jaeho Hwang stated that he’d prefer to take the IP into uncharted waters by creating video games primarily based round varied characters from the primary sport and seeing what tales could possibly be instructed about them.
The statements come after Mintrocket’s current break up from mum or dad firm Nexon, which granted it independence following the success it had with Dave The Diver.
“I need to develop the Dave the Diver IP itself. I feel that’s each director’s dream, since we’ve 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 wished to maintain the sport very informal.”
“In order a director, apart from the story DLC that we’re engaged on proper now, I additionally need 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 could be completely different. Perhaps sooner or later, if we begin to make a Dave’s backstory sport, we might make Dave [another profession]. He’s all the time 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 feel we’ll keep small. I imply, the definition of small could be assorted. Dredge, they solely have 4 individuals on the event workforce. However I feel the 20 to 30 individuals workforce is good.”
“It’s simpler to speak and simpler to be on the identical web page that means. I feel Mintrocket can get greater sooner or later when it comes to measurement, if we’re assured in what we’re doing proper now.”
“However meaning 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 individuals workforce.”
