Yeah, the reason we went with the two-app design, was for the reason you describe to sort of make it feel like these old stories were physically entering our own world. But even if details change, as well as the accepted reasons for different practices, the basic principles can remain and fall into a discernible pattern.“ Did you encounter any particular obstacles in adapting those “patterns” in a medium that is in some ways very distant from the stories that originated hundreds or even thousands of years before it came into being? And was that experience of holding an old artefact, a folkoloristic objet trouvé of sorts, in the hands by design? Kuusela writes: „What characterises folklore is the tendency of traditions to change or alter shape in transmission from one generation to another. This one is a bit of a longer question, but bear with me: When we exchanged letters on Year Walk on Videogame Tourism, I wrote that I was struck by the fact that ‘narrative’ of the game in tandem with the ingenious ways you used the functions of the iPad gave the game the character of some sort of lost artefact, or even a grimoire of sorts, thus deepening the intriguing character of the whole experience. Be that in books, through children’s TV, kindergarten and so on. I mean, it’s obviously not like our grandparents sat us down and told us lies to try and keep us out of the forest, like people did back in the day, but we very much grew up with the stories anyway. Is that correct or is there some sort of living “story telling culture” where you grew up? Year Walk’s “origin story” makes it seem like it was pure coincidence that you stumbled upon Swedish folk tales as a game concept. One thing that is of interest for me is what place folktales do have in your life. We did some research, both in books and on the internet, but I think the great thing about basing something on folk lore is that it’s so much about hearsay, altering the stories, and so in that way we only continued the tradition of lying to children. Did you find all your relevant information in Schön’s book? It would be especially interesting to know if you also spoke to people, or if it’s purely a “bookish” take on folk tales. What kind of research did you do for the game? Year Walk sometimes feels like a veritable compendium of Swedish folkolore. I think our biggest fears was making something that felt this large in scope. It didn’t take much convincing to be honest. But later the same weekend I started to sit down and try to imagine how a game like that would play out, and I later suggested it for Jonas and Magnus. So, when Jonas sent me the script, the first thing I thought was how very game-like the whole tradition seemed, and so I joked a bit about it over the phone with Jonas. Jonas Tarestad, who wrote the script that we, losely, based Year Walk on found it in the book you mentioned. Is this correct? If so, was it clear for you from the beginning that this would make for an interesting game setting and did it take a lot of effort to convince everyone to make this the next Simogo game? The Year Walk Ritual in Swedish Folk Tradition”, Tommy Kuusela writes that you came across the tradition of årsgång by reading a popular book on folkolore, "Årets högtider" by Ebbe Schön. In his article “He Met His Own Funeral Procession. Let’s maybe start with how the game came to be. And since I I’m mounting it on a Sig, it ought to work 100% of the time and I’ve got better leverage in the event something breaks and I have to deal with customer service.Year Walk seems to be a bit of an outlier in your work, when it comes to mood (which is dark, not to say horrific) and setting. And the can itself is ~$400 cheaper than the helix. But since the MCX is designed to run suppressed, the gas blowback, need for suppressor friendly mods, etc, (all of OSS’s main selling points) shouldn’t really be a problem for me right?īut If I order the Sig can from Silencer shop I get one QD mount included. (Can’s going to be in the handguard) Oh, also the way you clean them is pretty cool. Mainly going to be doing target shooting, and lots of it, so the extreme heat control that the Helix cans are supposedly capable of is very appealing. They’re a good bit more expensive than the sig cans, a few ounces heavier (don’t really care about that part,) and the quick detach muzzle devices are about $150 a piece and I’m going to need 2 of them. However I’ve heard a few people say that they aren’t worth it. I was originally going to go with the Sig can, but then I found out about OSS, and their stuff seems pretty interesting. I’ve got a Sig MCX I’m going to be running with a 16” 5.56 barrel as well as a 6.75”.
