Interview with Spicy Horse Games
I recently had a chance to interview the fine folks over at Spicy Horse. First up is a well known developer, American McGee, and the creative director: Benjamin Kerslake. In addition, I got a great chance to get some new information about Spicy Horse’s newest game Akaneiro Demon Hunters. American McGee: CEO of Spicy Horse Games Q.) It’s pretty unprecedented for Western based gaming to move overseas and set up shop. What initiated the decision to do so? It was mainly driven by a desire for change and exploration. Asia has always held special appeal for me so when an opportunity to move and work in Hong Kong presented itself I made the jump immediately. I didn’t know at that point exactly where the jump would take me – or have any thought for starting my own studio in China – but the possibilities became obvious almost as soon as I’d landed. Q.) Spicy Horse has a focus on free to play games with some sort of online social or multiplayer functionality.
