From there ideas came from various places: Dick’s artwork, toys that I programmed, and even real world places provided inspiration for things in Hohokum. Much of what the game is today stems from the epiphany of how much fun it was to fly around as the player’s character (the Long Mover).
I’m not sure we could have done it any other way. Over time this approach allowed the game we have today to emerge organically. We didn’t have a clear mechanic “hook” when starting out - more an overall sense of wanting to make a game that was relaxing and evoked a particular sense of free-form play. For the first few years it was a side-project - something we worked on between other things, or when inspiration struck. A question we’ve been asked a lot is “How did you come up with this game?” The answer isn’t straightforward, but hopefully this video will help to illustrate something of the process, as well as reveal some of our inspirations and design goals.ĭick and I started designing Hohokum back in 2008, and since that time it’s gone through a lot of changes. This one is focused on the roots of the game’s design. – Entrancing Original Soundtrack – Hohokum features music from various talented artists in collaboration with Ghostly International Records.Hey folks!
