Ladies and Jim, gentlemen.

This is Gamer Attack Radio with your host, Danny Pena, Paris Lily, and Peter Toledo.

Yeah, so my name is Grant Allen.

I'm the lead designer at DeLala Studios, the developer of Disney's Illusion Island.

Yeah, so tell us a little bit about the game and how this one is different than your

previous game that you worked on. Cool. So the best way I would describe it is a four-player

Mickeyvania platformer. So it's a completely open world with it has abilities to unlock

and gaining those abilities, gains your access to new areas.

It is built to be awesome alone and better together.

So we have a couple of things in there to create kind of unique moments in multiplayer scenarios,

one being the rope drop, the hug to gain extra life and then also leapfrog.

And how this is different from the previous, I would say it's in the approach.

So I think something which has been kind of instilled to us kind of working with Disney and as we've kind of grown as a studio,

it's just the idea of showing your workings.

So a lot of the time it's kind of like, you know, showing the intent,

but showing how you got to where you ended up.

So a lot of the time we would begin with creative intent statements.

So the movement in the game began with just a sentence that we came up with,

which was fill the free flowing of movement through an open parkour playground and the team went well what does that mean and i went well that's how the movement should feel

that's like you should feel you all that little kid running around jumping off the walls you could

go anywhere you want and just adventure and explore and and one of the benefits of, let's say, I want to pick Mickey, you pick Minnie or other

characters, like what?
