It might surprise folks who have played Tunic to hear that its Primary Developer, Andrew Shouldice, wasn’t always sure that the game would be a huge success. In fact, during Tunic’s development Shouldice thought he may have made a huge mistake, something he said to Shacknews’ own Greg Burke during a GDC 2023 interview. Please take a look.
In hindsight, we all know that Tunic is a wonderful game that was well received by most. It currently holds very positive ratings on Steam with over 9,000 player reviews submitted. Tunic also finished #10 in the Shacknews Top 10 Games of the Year for 2022 and was #1 on our Shacknews Top 10 Indie Games of the Year 2022. We really loved Tunic, and it’s clear we’re not alone.
The entire interview with Andrew Shouldice is worth a watch, as it gives you wonderful insight into the mind of a developer pouring their all into a game and not knowing how it will be received.
