Animal Well, last year's acclaimed 2D exploration game by Billy Basso, featured complex puzzles that were shaped by feedback from YouTuber Dunkey. In a documentary, "The Making of Animal Well," Basso reflects on his intention to create challenging puzzles, revealing that Dunkey played a crucial role in persuading Basso to reduce the game's difficulty. The documentary captures the journey from Basso's aspirations to the game's eventual success under Dunkey's distribution label, BigMode, highlighting the challenges of keeping game secrets in the modern digital landscape.
"To truly hide something in a game is arguably impossible," Basso says. "You no longer have this schoolyard word-of-mouth slow dissemination of information."
"He's a genius level guy," Dunkey says of Basso. "That was our big contribution to Animal Well: trying to talk Billy away from making it evil."
