    #GIVEAWAY + AMA – Willy’s Wonderland movie just got a Game!! I am sure you will have questions about it – Rafael Lontra, CPO at Mito Games. Ask me anything + Giveaway FREE Nintendo Switch Keys



    Hello, r/NintendoSwitch community! First of all thanks to all the mods for the support and approval for this AMA and the great work with the Sub.

    Here are the link for the game on Switch for those who want to buy it anyway and support us (it's really cheap BTW hehe)

    WILLY'S WONDERLAND SWITCH 

    and some info for the AMA:

    # About Mito Games

    We are a small indie game dev studio from Vitória, Brazil and we are completing 8 years of existence now, but we only started to work with entertainment games in the last 3 years. We have a lot of experience with educational games and advergames but now we want to start to develop our community of entertainment games.

    We have some experience with the consoles because one of our clients for Advergames wanted a really cool game, called Wardogs: Red's Return, which was initially designed for mobiles but grew to be a full PC/Console game at the end, ported and published by Qubyte (this will probably come back for the questions too hehe since this initial design had an impact on our possibilities for the original game and later for Willy's..).

    That led us to an unexpected opportunity, as we were working on a DLC for the game Wardogs, we were invited to make a simpler version of the game for the Willy's Wonderland franchise. Of course, there were a lot of limits and constraints that I will discuss during the AMA. Still, it was a good opportunity for us to be a bit more known since we are just starting in the entertainment area and also a possible occasion to pay tribute to a movie we all enjoyed watching.

    I hope the fans of the movie, understanding the conditions we had to make the game will appreciate it a bit, and who knows in the future we can make a bigger, original game with all the characters in there too? ^^

    I work mainly with clients and team management, but I am changing more into a PR role now that we are migrating to the entertainment realm, so I am learning how to do it and Reddit is an amazing tool to help smaller studios like ours. (Please consider following us on your favorite social media)

    We are currently finishing the port of our first original game 4 The Elements WHICH WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SWITCH ON JULY 18!! developing our new game, Tupi, The Legend of Araribóía, which will also be available for consoles when published 😉

    Feel free to ask me anything about the game, other games, the company, the industry, gamification, or serious games!

      How much from the movie were you given access to? How free to change stuff were you?

    3. CthulhuCactus on

      Has Nicholas Cage gotten the chance to play the game at all/Was he involved in the process at any point?

    6. RotundCorgi on

      Does this game have a silent protagonist like the movie? Because that was a fun choice for the movie.

    7. Colombian_MrClean on

      This looks like an awesome game for families, asking from a perspective of little knowledge on building games, which part of the process was your favorite to construct or see to fruition?

    9. Sir-Sy on

      Looks like a fun beat-em-up, being a fan of these type of games for years I’d like to ask, do you have any plans to make another of this style in the future?

    10. Desperate_Cucumber_9 on

      Can we expect any pinball mini games? That table was the thing I took away from the movie the most (and the soda).

    11. Throwaway753045 on

      Do you have any other upcoming projects based on existing media and films? If you aren’t allowed to answer, is there a piece of media you’d like to make a game about?

    13. GNA1115 on

      How did you get the idea for Willy’s Wonderland and is there any possible chance of any crossovers?

    14. Blueyfansnikers on

      Is your game gonna have some easter eggs like fnaf and the banana splits?

    15. icyxale on

      I actually enjoyed this movie and I was excited when I saw there was a game for it! I believe I saw there was a sequel that entered into production recently.

      Do you believe this game was given a chance to be created to help with the publicity for the movie’s sequel? If so, do you believe that other games can be made in the future, and do you think this style of gameplay will continue to be used for those potential games?

    17. huggyscolex on

      This game looks fun, I was worried it would be along the lines of 5 Night at Freddy’s, something the movie reminded me of

    20. arkhe22 on

      Will this be available in Australia? 

      I ask because the link first showed in pounds, then dollars, but it was in another language? 

      Don’t worry about considering my question as part of the AMA, I love seeing the excitement of smaller creators and supporting their work. 

      I hope it’s a success and good luck with your future projects! 

    21. BeeTheWeb on

      Is this a property you really wanted to work with or did it just fall into your studios lap?

    25. Theorema95 on

      Did you do some changes and/or cuts due to censorship or rating systems (PEGI, ESBR etc…) or your game was already calibrated for a target?

    26. Timely-Cabinet-7879 on

      Do you chose to do and adaptation of the movie and asked for it or where you contacted to do so ?

    29. AdotHam76 on

      Thanks for doing this giveaway! I love beat em up games, so I’ll have to check your game out for sure. I was just wondering if you could make a beat em up game using any license, what would you choose?

    31. Mncfre on

      I’m a software developer and a avid gamer, my dream is to create a game on my own, what it’s the most difficult part of creating games? The budget? Timelines? Creativity? Other?
