Bruce Straley, best known for his work at Naughty Dog on the Uncharted and The Last of Us franchises, has apologized to God of War: Laufey studio Santa Monica Studio, after he said he was “not excited” about what the game was offering, at least in some respects.
Straley told Edge that he thinks “every pixel” in Laufey looks “mindblowing and that he is “blown away” by the lengths Santa Monica Studio went to. However, Straley said he is “not excited” by “what you’re doing in the game.”
Straley is now working on much smaller games than he made at Naughty Dog. His new independent studio, Wildflower Interactive, is working on the puzzle-platformer Coven of the Chickenfoot. The game has players taking on the role of an elderly witch named Gertie, who works alongside a “creature-companion” that Gertie cannot speak with. Instead, Gertie needs to “discover the creature’s true intentions” in other ways, like through environmental storytelling.
Xbox was originally set to publish Coven of the Chickenfoot before dropping it, according to another developer. It’s still in the works, backed by an unknown financier.
