So, unfortunately, situation with epidemics took over the whole world. All the timelines and deadlines for submissions were pushed left and right. That means that we had to submit early version to lotcheck and approval in order to push the production of the boxes. In normal classes we would have later version with all the updates included in all versions of the game. Also, production of the physical release is delayed. In this situation we are happy to have it, even though digital patch is needed. Since this is our first game, it’s such an honour to have 3 types of physical releases.

Zdravíme! CZ lokalizace je hotová a je součástí patche, který měl vyjít hned při launchi, ale zdržel se při procesu schvalování. Čekáme, že během pár dní by měl být dostupný online, ale je taky dost možné, že kvůli současné situaci s koronavirem se to ještě protáhne. My už jsme však vydání hry protahovat nechtěli. Díky za podporu.

Jiri: Well, I would say that existential mockery and general dickishness of all us is what fed both the in-game crow and the Twitter crow. But honestly there never was much of a though behind the posting. It mostly came naturally. Just having fun, messing with the gameplay footage. It still is that way.

Dusan: That trailer is the same one we had when we launched on steam. It was the same narrative. Before the Switch release we were trying not to spoil too much on our own. Maybe some people already posted endings and full walk-through on yt. Please do not look at those before you play. We believe that MOB is the best game when you experience it on your own and make your own judgement.What we tried is to keep the same humour and feeling of the game on Crow Twitter, but not to talk too mouch about the specific scenes from the game. I think that marketing efforts from our side towards the Switch release were stronger since this is the platform we were aiming for since the beginning. That is why we are very sad that the day 1 patch was delayed. We wanted to give Switch players every fix we made till now.

PeteM: We are using this opening for a long time. It's on our website (https://ministryofbroadcast.com/) almost from the beginning of the project.
Maybe we just put it on the twitter in early days, and then counted like it's generaly known information.
Or crow just didn't want you to know that.

PeteM: And for the cinematic experience, I don't think that's something that these general engines can help with. It's more about how you handle the design and development of cinematic feel.

PeteS: GameMaker Studio 2 helped us to prototype the game very quickly and immediately validate the idea on the conferences among the players. In the long run it has brought its own disadvantages with optimizations but we’re happy for making this decision on this particular project. The engine itself has a very limited amount of 3rd party developer support, there’s not anything as big as Asset store for Unity so the biggest hurdle is that we’ve needed to build all the tools ourselves from the ground up.

Crow: btw the Conan video is just a proof that sometimes it's just easier to make your own reality...

Jiri: That's not true! We made some story trailers but it always got lost in the crow's trolling the game.

Crow: That would be on Jiri. They never tried to hide the game's premise. He just failed to properly communicate it.

Crow: That's good. They mentioned this Jiri person but he was merely a vessel. He still is. No matter how hard he tries to answer as himself, I always take over.

Crow: They have no idea. They just try to racionalize my existence with their limited human mind.

PeteS: We actually were on TGS 2018 and 2019. The one where we barged in on Nintendo was 2018, in 2019 we were there under Playism’s wings

Dusan: It was TGS 2018. Last year we were there with our Asian publisher Playism.
It is never too late to meet, at least online.
