It’s a comedy game that mixes choice-driven storytelling and a unique drinking mechanic to fuel players’ journeys out of hell. </p>
<p>Hines, who co-founded Night School with his cousin Sean Krankel, had a lot to share about the lessons learned from making <em>Oxenfree </em>and the Mr. Robot mobile game <em>Mr. Robot:1.51exfiltratiOn</em>. In particular, he broke down some parts of the writing process, how the team approached creating a vivid art style on a low budget, and how the studio is thinking about keeping its doors open while shipping small narrative games. </p>
<p>It was a <em><strong>hell </strong></em>of a good conversation, one you can now watch in its entirety in the video above. For more game developer interviews and select GDC talks, be sure to <a href="http://Twitch.tv/GDC">follow the GDC Twitch channel.</a> </p>
