Justin and Alex, who Ankit just mentioned - Alex, he is our writer, narrative designer - were formulating the idea for The Wild at Heart as early as 2017 conceptually, and Justin was doing sketches.
Sumsky: That's a good question.sometimes it's like, "When did it start?," tracking down the actual origin. So what's the origin story of The Wild at Heart in particular?
So the four of us also got together - Alex isn't a partner per se, but he's a big contributing member. Justin was also part of another team, SleepNinja, and he and Alex were working on that. Ankit, I don't know if you have anything to add there?Īnkit Trivedi: That was a good summary. He had the idea for The Wild at Heart, and we kind of just made a super team. Justin Baldwin is the third partner of Moonlight Kids, and we have known him for a few years in the dev community. We did that for a little bit, and then fast forward again. Then, fast forward, we quit our day jobs and did that full-time, making mostly work-for-hire games for Cartoon Network. We first were doing it under the moniker of Crystal Fish in our spare time. RELATED: The Wild at Heart Is a Vibrant, Nostalgic Adventure for All Types of PlayersĬan you tell us a little bit about Moonlight Kids - How did it form, and how did you all meet?Ĭhris Sumsky: Ankit and I have known each other for a long time actually, since college - we both went to Georgia Tech and we started making games together then. They also took some time to engage with long-standing debates in the game design world and explain their Super Smash Bros. They dived into their inspiration for the game and level design, their history with programming and how The Wild at Heart is like a salad. Moonlight Kids developers Chris Sumsky and Ankit Trivedi sat down with CBR to chat about The Wild at Heart. The end result is a beautiful game worth diving into. The first release from development studio Moonlight Kids, the game presented a cohesive experience that combined combat mechanics and puzzle-solving in a richly animated environment, using them all to tell a compelling story. New indie release The Wild at Heart brought players deep into the woods on a journey of self discovery, filled with creative monsters and adorable little Spritelings to help along the way.
