Since Wormwood Studios’ founding, members of our development teams have given interviews about our projects and about game development in general. While some of those interviews have since disappeared as websites have gone down, or are stuck behind paywalls, many are publicly available. They are grouped below, with projects in chronological order and then a catch-all category at the end. For those curious about how are games are created, you can hear from all of us here (as well as in the commentary tracks to our games)!
