Gametraders Live September Magazine

Was the response by the Vita
community what you’d hoped
it would be? Were you pleased
with the feedback you received?
César: We met a lot of people
really interested on the game being
made for the Vita, and just like
many of the development team,
there were fans of the system that
really got into it once we showed
one build of it at PAX. We were
really pleased to find out we were
not the only ones that wanted this
game on Sony’s portable system.
Antonio: When we announced
the game was coming to the
Vita we got an overwhelmingly
positive response from the
community and they supported
us a lot on our Kickstarter, so
releasing the game on the
platform is a big priority for us.
How did you first come into
contact with Sony regarding
Vita development? How has
Sony been to work with?
Antonio: We met our contact in
Sony at a development event in
Mexico and they have been very
supportive from the start; we
received a dev kit really quickly
after getting in contact with
them.
How have you found working on
Vita as a piece of hardware? Is it
difficult to develop for? Have you
had to make substantial changes
to Pato Box to get it running?
Antonio: The portability on the
system is great but it has been
difficult for us to adapt the game
for it. The stages on Pato Box
are kinda big and we made the
mistake early on of not taking
the Vita memory into account, so
getting the 3D exploration right
has been a challenge for us. Most
of the changes were made on the
exploration side but we are did
our best to keep the experience as
similar as possible to the PC version.
