HOODED HORSE (AMA)

[Megan]

We are hosting an AMA in collaboration with Hooded Horse. If you have any questions about their published titles, feel free to ask!

 

[BloodyMAry]

Of all the different game genres, which ones have you found to be the most successful and easy to sell in the current market?

 

[Forthcoming]

I read in another interview where the creative director of Chimera Entertainment said that publishers rarely support innovative ideas now. Is that really the case? Or I guess I should frame this as, how much risk are publishers open to take if the pitched title is highly innovative?

 

[Freebie]

If you could pick one of your upcoming titles as something everyone should keep an eye on, which one would it be?

 

[Kraven the Hunter]

What's your game of the year for 2024?

 

[HunterofHuntss]

What video game genre has become oversaturated nowadays?

 

[Jakelmoss]

Are live service titles overrated? And why do you think big publishers opt for the live service model even when the audience clearly doesn't want it? On a similar note, which live-service game do you think has done the live-service part perfectly well?

 

[Dramatic619]

What do you think was the reason behind Manor Lord's overnight success.

 

[Dreamy Bull]

During the current climate of the games industry, would you recommend aspiring devs to into game development or pursue other programming fields?


If yes, then would you say its better to join small indie team/publishers or giant AAA teams?

 

[Freebie]

I dont have much to say except for thank you for publishing Manor Lords. I loved playing Stronghold as a kid, and while Manor Lords is not exactly the same it satisfies that itch for me. Something I can play after a long day to relax. It really is one of the few things keeping me together

 

[Susan]

With so many Medieval castle builders under your deck would you consider a Crossover event

 

[GiornoMudaMuda]

Going through Hooded Horse portfolio is it safe to assume that you are more inclined to invest in games that have hooded men and horses in them

Joking XD. Strategy-based and medieval era games populate your portfolio. Is it something that just happened naturally

 

[picklerick]

For data analytics and market research with regards to targets audiences what platforms do you use to get your numbers?

 

[FrancisDrake]

Do you guys have a tentative release timeline of Manor Lords

 

[Klark Kent]

First of all. Thanks alot for supporting these small projects . I have poured dozen of hours in Terra Invicta, Manor Lords, Workers and Resources. You guys are doing amazing work.

Can we expect a PlayStation 5 version release in Early Access period of Manor Lords? Or will it come with the full release
