(Sorry for the English-only message, got too many words to say, and not enough time to translate 😅) WARNING: Things might get emotional. 😉 As many of my contacts will know, we launched RageCure Games back in 2020 and kept working on our first game since. My co-founders and I created this studio with a clear objective in mind: create games that are special and surprising, but most importantly, games that we would be proud of. Let’s be honest, the development of Goons: Legends & Mayhem has been anything but a peaceful ride. Personally, it represents my biggest career achievement, my most ambitious project and the thing that kept me up at night for good… and less good reasons. 😅 This has been a huge team effort, with every team member pouring passion and creativity in what was shaping to be the game as close as possible to what we initially envisioned for a hockey game. In 2021, we were convinced we could never deliver this vision as our first project. Through hard work, crazy luck and naivete, we pushed through and went on with this vision. Mark Twain once wrote “They did not know it was impossible so they did it.” and I couldn’t find better words to describe how I feel at the moment. We met a lot of people along the way, and were blessed by the help of many that thought our endeavor was interesting and worth the trouble. We managed to convince Firestoke that our frantic version of a hockey game was something that was needed on the market. They helped us ship that vision, put up with our ambitions and provided feedback that sometimes felt like setbacks, but always allowed us to craft a better game. We couldn’t be more thankful for that. I would like to thank the whole Firestoke team, with a special shoutout to Paul Farley, Melissa Jane Lewis, Calum Watson, S. Omar Khalil and Dan G.. Finally, we met a lot of players during the many events we went to. Sometimes, they had a blast, sometimes they had feedback, sometimes they laughed, sometimes they were angry, but most importantly, they always made us realize that we were creating something special that they would want to play over and over. This alone was a good reason to keep pushing. Goons: Legends & Mayhem is out now and OF COURSE I’m gonna tell you to buy it or at least talk about it with everyone you know who loves party/sports games. But really, I can only wish for those who get their hands on the game to enjoy it as much as we’ve had crafting it all those years. That being said, we are still working on fixing some issues, polishing it and porting it to Nintendo Switch, but hopefully that first version will scratch that arcade hockey itch for quite some time. Other things are brewing at RageCure, and we can’t wait to share more details on it. Yes, I’ll leave you on that teaser. 😉 Merci tout le monde!
