  • I sat down with TUNIC creator Andrew Shouldice for an exhaustive multi-hour interview looking back at his game, one year later. We cover childhood, school, early work, game jams, the origins and inspiration for TUNIC, how it came to be, its release, and Andrew's thoughts now.

    This is the single best developer interview I've ever seen, it's ABUNDANTLY clear why Tunic is so damn amazing. Any game this man makes in the future I will instantly buy.

    Thanks for existing Andrew. You've made one of the best games I've ever played in 30 years. Easily. This and the fabulous soundtrack from Lifeformed and Janice Kwan which is also an easy contender for best VG soundtrack of all time in my opinion.

    This was an incredible interview and I'm so thankful for the time you and Andrew devoted to making it. TUNIC is literally "wonder-full". As an aspiring indie game dev, it was so warming to hear how authentically Andrew approached making the game, and that he isn't afraid to be candid about the realities and struggles of the process. As you said at the end, the passion for the game is so clear and yea... thank you again for making this video.

      Wonderful interview, I learned so much! (Hoping they bring back Train Jam some day.)

    Surprised you didn't go into the Glyph Tower and it's secrets, that would've been fun to hear from Andrew about it.

    So glad I checked your channel again. Loved your Myst playthrough and got to play Tunix on Gamepass. I was blown away by how good it was! Thank you for doing this interview.

    2:54:05 Thanks to this interview I learned that the Tunic fox plush that I own since two months contains a secret message and an in-game secret code. My mind is blown. Again.

    Wait what the heck I literally found this before the stream where you played the game randomized with shouldice.
    RADICOON!?! I literally didn’t even notice that’s CRAZYYY. I only put it together cause you mentioned it in your video but didn’t have it on your channel haha

    Feels like I’m super late to the party, but I just found Tunic on game pass and I’ve absolutely fallen in love with it. Didn’t know what to expect, but I was not expecting Tunic to share so much DNA with Dark Souls. And that is right up my alley. Congrats on making such a great little game! And thank you as well! 😊

    On 37:52 he sais that "such that" in mathvis the ruiner of the abstract form and I think how lucky (not lucky) I am as in my (russian) math school we use cryptic symbol : to denote that "such that" thing. So it's almost pure form except of "we will leave that as an exercise for the reader" in all the math books
