'It needed to be a shit job.' Arcade Paradise nearly wasn't set in a laundrette. There was a video rental shop idea, a pizzeria...
played it, well, there's new DLC to tempt you back in, but also: can you imagine the game without the laundrette? Because it very nearly didn't have one.
"But also," Firnigl adds,"the second problem was, in the 90s, or when I was a kid and you were a kid, working in a video shop was actually quite an aspirational job, and we wanted to be the opposite of that." To be blunt:"It needed to be a shit job." The 'something else' came from an unusual place - one frankly as mundane as the setting itself: while browsing Unreal Engine asset packs. Nosebleed only had one full-time artist so an asset pack was always the plan. And suddenly, there it was,, and the moment Firnigl saw it, he knew he'd hit upon something."I saw the King Wash asset pack and I was like, 'That - that could work.'" he says.
There's a nice, multi-part documentary about the making of Arcade Paradise that you'll see Andreas Firnigl in. He doesn't swear as much there. As for what's next, well, there's still the"CarPG" that Arcade Paradise unexpectedly grew out of. The game itself is inspired by Outrun 2 and Ridge Racer Type 4 and Dark Cloud, and is packed with the kind of arcadey mini-game pursuits you find in Nosebleed games. And it was your being able to play mini-games on a computer in the game's garage, which seeded Arcade Paradise.
I love the retro vibes they got in the launch trailer. Although, is it retro if it's actually back in fashion now? I'm surprised there aren't any hipster arcades popping up. Hang on, hold my Sunny D...!
