“It’s hard to find people [capables de travailler sur le jeu, ndlr]explains Maja Moldenhauer – who is both producer of Cuphead and director of the studio – in an interview with our colleagues fromIGN. The priority, and even more so during COVID-19, was to make sure everyone was happy. We are talking about video games. Take your time. Mental health must be above all. It is necessary that you take the space and the time that you need, especially in the last two years. We thought, ‘If the game takes longer to come out, so be it. Who cares?’“
Before adding:If we’re going to take all the risk, it has to be for a company we’re proud of, for a company that brings together all the things we’ve always wanted. Respect for each other, love and support; in fact, things that we never received in our previous jobs.“Even if it is totally out of step with the financial challenges faced by most players in the video game industry, Maja Moldenhauer’s words show that what obsesses StudioMDHR is above all this incredible 2D worthy of drawings 1930s anime.”To see it all come to life, take shape, it’s just beautifulshe says. It’s art for art’s sake, and it’s something that people who only care about numbers can’t understand. Truly not.“
For the record, Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is expected on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
