Hellsinker – 2019 Developer Interview (Patreon)

http://shmuplations.com/hellsinker/

This in-depth Hellsinker interview first appeared on jp.ign in 2019. Befitting the notorious complexity of Hellsinker, it’s one of the more high-level and abstract conversations featured here on shmuplations. Creator Tonnor has a very “meta” way of analyzing the STG genre and Hellsinker’s design choices which makes for a fascinating, if not occasionally inscrutable discussion.

This interview was commissioned by yukkuritime, who generously gave their permission for it to be hosted here.
