It was a pleasure to talk with Mio from @gamespark.jp about the impact of Silksong on Metroidvania devs schedule, and such an honor to be included in this piece with Sliding Hero alongside many amazing games!

I tried listening to podcasts/streamers and so on, but I always get distracted and my work rhythm slows down considerably.

Fellow #gamedevs, what is your go-to music to concentrate while working on your #indiegames?

I'm currently rotating between Synthwave mixes, Relaxing SNES Music (how come Waterworld OST is full of bangers?), JRPG relaxing music and 90's Indie/Rock collections 🤘

So, what keeps you devving?

Loved, it's amazingly fun. It overstays its welcome towards the end, but overall a solid 7-8/10 experience.

The Doctor is in(sane).

A mysterious creature dwells deep inside the forest of the island. Is it a friend, a foe, or something in between?

I loved Skyward Sword death clouds and couldn’t help but make something similar.

Teleporting puzzles are some of my favourites, and I couldn't resist putting them in Sliding Hero too.

Altered Beast could become a great JRPG, with each form being a specific class that members of the party can turn into.

You also have a good deal of Greek Mythology to explore, in the form of enemies, quests and so on.
