When I first started, I told myself I\u2019d just go for it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It did not end well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I liked is there&#8217;s a method to the madness &#8211; it\u2019s certainly unique!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve noticed elements like <a href=\"https:\/\/kirby.fandom.com\/wiki\/Kirby's_Dream_Course\">Kirby&#8217;s Dream Course for the Super Nintendo<\/a> &#8211; what other games inspired Bounce Castle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-chris-stevens-\"><strong>Chris Stevens<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/590380\/Into_the_Breach\/\">Into the Breach<\/a> was a major inspiration for its elegant strategy!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think they nailed things by having players move units around to defend, all while granting very limited resources. You have to think about how to really defend objectives and just survive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s not a necessarily a kill everything type of game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Board games were also an inspiration. There are dexterity board games like <a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/195137\/catacombs-third-edition\">Catacombs<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/169124\/flick-em-up\">Flick &#8217;em Up!<\/a> &#8211; and even the little paper football game you may have played back in grade school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also heard about the early development of <a href=\"https:\/\/hearthstone.blizzard.com\/en-us\">Hearthstone<\/a>; they asked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat could we do in a digital environment that we can&#8217;t do in a physical environment with a card game?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I tried to do the same thing with Bounce Castle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What can I do with a kind of billiards or a mini golf-style of gameplay, but something that you couldn&#8217;t do in real life?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s where things like explosions and pits that you can throw things into come into play.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I tried to kind of combine all of these things and bring it together with the art style of games like <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/293260\/Card_Hunter\/\">Card Hunter<\/a> from back in the day, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mariowiki.com\/Paper_Mario\">Paper Mario<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s where a lot of the inspiration came from!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-gamers-heroes-\"><strong>Gamers Heroes&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I know the Steam Playtest has been going on for a little while, and that it&#8217;s going to be extended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you noticed any insights from players?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I mentioned my aggressive approach that didn&#8217;t end well, but were there any instances on the opposite end?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any MVP plays or things you never thought of doing that basically broke the game?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-chris-stevens-\"><strong>Chris Stevens<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do really appreciate when people get in there and try to break the game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being a game that uses physics, there&#8217;s an avenue for that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we try to protect against most of it, it is one of those things where one can find a way to really mix things up &#8211; that&#8217;s how you know you&#8217;re doing a good job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the interesting things I noticed from Playtests is that there&#8217;s really two types of players&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are the players that really want to go in for precision, and then there are the players that are okay with being chaotic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s interesting the way that they view the Wizard character in particular right now during the Playtest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re a precision character, the Wizard is useless to you &#8211; but if you&#8217;re someone who can embrace the chaos, the Wizard character is the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I found was that some players would do a lot of their precision plays first, then using the Wizard to clean up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, other players would look at the board and be like,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is not a good state. I&#8217;m just going to gust everything with the Wizard and then clean up from there.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was interesting to watch these two different play styles!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I saw that you could really go at it with two different play styles and find success, I thought this was like an idea worth really pursuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-gamers-heroes-\"><strong>Gamers Heroes&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On that same note, I saw that <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RoboMonkeyBrain\/status\/1638907638317568000\">you were at PAX East back in 2023<\/a> and that you\u2019ve got a <a href=\"https:\/\/discord.com\/invite\/kZ3mXYZkQY\">Discord<\/a>!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s it been like interacting with the community?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I always say \u201cstrength in community\u201d &#8211; your fans are your advocates!

I didn&#8217;t have a booth; I just had my laptop and a sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, I just set up my laptop and just said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCome play my game!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it worked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was really eager to do this kind of off-booth thing, something you didn&#8217;t have to wait in line for hours to do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was another case of where I learned a lot about what needed to be said in a tutorial or shown &#8211; and what didn&#8217;t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was a lot of trying to figure out how I say the least and still get the idea across of what you&#8217;re supposed to do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found a lot of places where players picked that up and that it was working. I also found places where it wasn&#8217;t so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was basically trying to help engineer the game in such a way that you can just get in there and start playing, getting it after a run or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That came from just watching players, along with their feedback on <a href=\"https:\/\/discord.com\/invite\/kZ3mXYZkQY\">Discord<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s been very helpful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-gamers-heroes-\"><strong>Gamers Heroes&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also saw that Bounce Castle is powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/unity.com\/\">Unity<\/a>!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamersheroes.com\/features\/soulstone-survivors-interview-game-smithings-allan-smith-talks-community-unity-engine-and-snow-covered-trees\/\">I previously interviewed Allan Smith<\/a>, who did <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2066020\/Soulstone_Survivors\/\">Soulstone Survivors<\/a>, and he mentioned how Unity allows them to rarely have bugs and that they rarely need to rework systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/nVqcxarP9J4\">It just works<\/a>,\u201d as Todd Howard says!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"All of this just works Todd Howard\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nVqcxarP9J4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

for any other developers interested &#8211; Bounce Castle is a 3D game that uses 2D physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game itself is designed more like up on a wall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like to say that it&#8217;s not like a board game on a table; it&#8217;s more like a board game on a wall because it&#8217;s using \u201cX\u201d and \u201cY.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, Unity has been really great, and I couldn&#8217;t do without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-gamers-heroes-\"><strong>Gamers Heroes&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I saw on the Bounce Castle splash screen that you credited two voice actors!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love voice actors &#8211; they bring so much life to games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s a lot still under wraps, but what&#8217;s it been like working with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm2608462\/\">Ian<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm11040467\/\">Katarina<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamersheroes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Bounce-Castle-Interview-Robot-Monkey-Brains-Chris-Stevens-Talks-Inspiration-Balance-and-Unity-Development-Credits-Gamers-Heroes-740x416.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-163906\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-chris-stevens-\"><strong>Chris Stevens<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;ve been great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So Ian is a close friend of mine who has a great voice for Viking-like characters &#8211;
