Red Hook Studios co-founder Chris Bourassa confirmed that there was indeed some confusion on that point when Make-A-Wish first reached out. "They thought it was a scam at first," Sam said. It took longer than expected to get the ball rolling: A few bureaucratic misfires meant that he didn't actually make contact with Red Hook until November, and there was also a minor hitch at the very start of the process. Sam has been hospitalized following a leukemia diagnosis when he was 17, and a social worker suggested that he reach out to the Make-A-Wish foundation with his idea. Co-founders Chris Bourassa and Tyler Sigman took some time to explain how their team adjusted their methods for navigating this ever-evolving path of video game development.That process began in May 2022. Now that the game is fully released, we wanted to take a moment to check in with Red Hook's developers and see how their second run of Early Access went. The first Darkest Dungeon was something of a game industry milestone: a Steam Early Access title that sold a bananas number of units (over 6 million copies since 2015) and a pioneer in how mid-sized developers can make the most of their presence on Steam.įor Darkest Dungeon II, Red Hook signed a deal with Epic to execute their Early Access journey on the Epic Games Store, and in the process have already managed to sell over 300,000 copies. With that perhaps too-obvious joke out of the way, let's move on to our usual business: exploring the very successful Early Access process behind Red Hook Studios' freshly released sequel. One is a long arduous journey defined by frequent bickering, stressful encounters, and demonic bosses. What's the difference between Darkest Dungeon II and game development?
Red Hook Studios had to build a better way of doing Early Access to make Darkest Dungeon II.
