Hello Early Access Patrons!

Our continued mission to cover the hell out of the most interesting contemporary indies continues with a 45 minutes, super-dense documentary about the design of Dredge.

Putting this together was a lot of fun - not just because I got to dress up as a jolly fisherman - but because the team at Black Salt Games provided us with a bounty of development footage which made explaining the development of this game a lot easier.

This is a 99% complete cut which also includes some of the most interesting stand-up filming we've done in a while so I'd love to hear what you think.

Enjoy the doc!

Awesome theatrical performance 😂❤️

Riccardo Margiotta

That was great, very cool to see all the prototype footage.

I'll take 5 hours of Danny in a fishing outfit, tyvm

Jon Power

Absolutely love it. Danny, those fucking standup’s man… lol. Those eyebrows will haunt my dreams. BTW, screen goes completely black for about 2 seconds at the 29:48 mark. Probably just a quick fix in the edit. You guys crushed this one!

thanks for the heads up!

Sounds daft, but is there a spoiler warning needed? Dredge is a game that for my sins I’ve not played and i now know a bit of mechanics and location things that might’ve been cool to discover in my own time. I did also click the video so the fault is on me - I just know for other docs there normally a spoiler warning. This doc rattles along (good thing), it’s a good’un for sure

We avoid so much of the game's actual mission and story spoilers that I feel like this one needs one less than most. Out of interest what was the stuff you thought was spoilery?

Mark Larssen

That’s fair , and you’d know more as to if it’s a spoiler more than me as it’s on my backlog and I’ve not played it yet. I guess the locations , the big creatures and some of the assessment of dangers about those locations and dangers - kind of spoilers/best left found by the player. I consider this quite a recent game and I imagine there may be a few folks waiting for the time to play this. I will still play this , and in no way has it been ruined for me apart from knowing about some big ol fish around certain areas.

Am I imagining it or was there a mention of NZ government funding at the start that never got expanded upon? I may have just missed it but thought I'd mention in case it was a mistake!

You are 10000% correct and I cut that line out of the final version 😂

Thanks for the added details. Yea that’s fair, perhaps we should have a light spoiler warning. I hope/assume most people will assume it has some. I think there’s so much story and puzzle stuff we intentionally didn’t show any of that it’s not AS spoilery as it might seem
