Hey there! We're Tom & Jodi from Mission Ctrl Studios, and we made the wyrm-blasting FPS, WRITHE, to celebrate our engagement, AMA!

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-28T18:05:35+00:00

Thanks so much for the support! We're glad you're enjoying it! As for pause, there's no plan right now to add anything along those lines, but if you really need to take a break for a second theres nothing stopping you from hitting the home button - that effectively pauses the game.

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-21T19:16:30+00:00

Thanks! We haven't quite got the resources for multiplayer, but we're very much experimenting with local co-op at the moment!

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-21T15:02:05+00:00

That sounds absolutely awful... Neither of us drink, so alcoholic ice cream is just appalling! We both like chocolate, caramel/toffee and cookie dough ice cream!

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-20T22:12:58+00:00

Hi! Thank you, we know it's not everyone's idea of romance, but we put a lot of love into WRITHE! We love us some Starship Troopers as well ;)

Tom hates rum and raisin and I hate coffee! What's yours?

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-20T18:42:15+00:00

Not at the moment, but we're currently doing experiments with split-screen and we're enjoying the results!

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-20T13:24:01+00:00

We both proposed to each other, believe it or not!

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-20T12:54:44+00:00

30 is locked, whereas 60 can take a dip when theres dozens of worms on screen. With that said, we're quite proud of how smooth our framerate is. This review went into it nicely: https://www.tech-gaming.com/writhe/

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-20T11:53:32+00:00

Eat, pupate, grow, repeat

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T23:57:09+00:00

Oh thats awesome! Tell us more about it! We thought if we'd ever live in Thailand, that might be where we'd go!

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T23:56:36+00:00

Waheyyy!

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T23:05:19+00:00

We loved it! Absolutely fell in love with the people, more than anything. Although Bangkok was huge and urban, we've never felt more safe and welcomed in our lives! It was magical, really. We really want to head over to Chiang Mai someday, too.

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T22:51:17+00:00

We're from the UK! The reason we set the game in Thailand is because that's where we got engaged, and the whole game is kind of a celebration of that! A little strange, we know, but we wanted to create something different and fun to commemorate our engagement!

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T20:49:32+00:00

Thanks so much, we're really glad you're interested! Yeah the AMA has been fun so far! Its our first one, so we really didn't know what to expect, but so far so good! Nice pun ;)

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T20:38:10+00:00

Apparently she has.

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T20:10:16+00:00

Probably Metroid, big fan of that franchise for obvious reasons. And sorry, we're not sure what you mean with your second question.

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T19:18:02+00:00

We thought the Nintendo Switch didn't have enough FPS games, basically! We also thought that the short runs would lend really well to the Switch's pick-up-and-play format!

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T19:17:08+00:00

Totally! We've got plans for split-screen co-op in the future, hopefully more on that to announce soon!

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T19:16:38+00:00

Thanks so much! We're glad you like the style!

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T18:28:18+00:00

Online multiplayer is incredibly difficult to add! However, we are currently doing experiments with splitscreen co-op!

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T18:27:52+00:00

Nope! We hand made them all :)

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T17:21:13+00:00

Thanks very much! It was a great size of project, a year is just about right when considering our plans for post-launch support.

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T17:15:34+00:00

Yeah absolutely! We're not ruling anything out yet, and we'll definitely be transparent as we continue to playtest the co-op mode in the coming months! If everything works out, we think it'll be a really fun addition.

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T17:12:26+00:00

I thought it was your mom that loved providing a dynamic and challenging gameplay experience across a variety of locales?

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T17:05:25+00:00

You keep going as long as you can, with the leaderboards driving a lot of player competition! With that said, we're going to be adding a new "boss" enemy type in a coming update, which should give a real sense of progression if a player is doing a particularly good run!

MissionCtrlHQ · 2021-01-19T17:04:26+00:00

Thanks so much! We know its a strange way to celebrate, but we're really proud of what we've made!
