Jonas: I think Wind Waker certainly set precedence for how cel-shading should look. It’s certainly unique, but did Wind Waker influence your decision to go with a cel-shaded style at all? ZU: The most striking thing to me when I first saw the game was that beautiful, colourful, cartoony visual style. A lot of the 3D art is done and it’s mostly just scripting the different scenarios that is left.

Jonas: It’s going great! We’re getting pretty close to being halfway done, and that’s a huge milestone for us. ZU: How is development of A Hat in Time coming along? If you’re already an avid follower of the game’s progress as I am, Jonas also shared some new details of the development process, gameplay and plot!

Jonas was incredibly kind enough to take some time out of his development schedule to answer some questions I had about the game, and what exactly about Zelda inspires him. Unlike those other two franchises, Zelda is of course an adventure series, which made me curious. To do so, the crew are taking inspiration from the very best: Mario, Banjo, and even Zelda. With their current game in development, A Hat in Time, they’re aiming to bring back that wonderful, exploratory experience. That’s where Jonas Kærlev and the dedicated team at Gears For Breakfast step in. Bar some examples few and far between, it often seems like this genre has become non-existent since that time. Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, and Spyro the Dragon are prime examples of games that not only offered challenging precision platforming, but encouraged the player to explore the beautiful worlds they crafted. When platformers entered the 3D generation with the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation, we saw a new and exciting era of “collect-a-thon” games. For the longest time, however, I’ve felt that there’s been something missing. She can do multiple jump moves, as well as climb walls, and swing over gaps!
