We learned of an exciting development today – DoctorM64, the creator of AM2R and level designer on Ori and the Will of the Wisps, has joined Squid Shock Studios as an Associate Designer. Squid Shock Studios is developing Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus, a hand-drawn Metroidvania game based on Japanese folklore. DoctorM64 isn’t the only AM2R veteran on the project – Robert Sephazon, a playtester for AM2R, is an Executive Producer of Bō! From what we’ve seen of the game, it looks like it’s going to be a load of fun with a beautiful art style and fluid, dynamic gameplay. It has exceeded its fundraising goal and is planned for release on Steam. To keep up to date with Bō, you can follow Squid Shock on Twitter. Best of luck to the team!
