#SandFall
There are really solid arguments in the replies- Sandfall have made some very public mistakes and are rightfully criticised for them. The almost idealised view a lot of people have about Larian does make me wonder how much of this is down to PR though?

oh fuck Sandfall are doing pre-orders for an Esquie plushie, and its super high quality..... I NEEEED

Let’s do a thinking exercise. Don’t tell me. Just answer to yourself.

Sandfall Interactive won the most awards a studio has ever won in a single TGA. It was basically everything they were nominated for. There were so many workers who accepted awards.

Name a single worker from Sandfall Interactive.

French President Emmanuel Macron has praised Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Sandfall Interactive for their wins at The Game Awards.

Macron previously pointed the finger at videogames in relation to the country's 2023 riots, which he later took back. "Video games are an integral part of France."

Oh okay. Well his style is basically third-person action but his skill speaks for itself. Sandfall dropped a superboss specifically designed for him in their DLC expansion of E33 and he does a hitless run on it in less than a week.

I love how much Sandfall Interactive knows ball.
The Clair Obscur update seemingly contains references to Persona 5, FFXIV and Xenoblade.

Cinéma absolu. 9 More Awards.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's GOTY win is HUGE! A French studio, Sandfall Interactive, beating out titans like Hades 2 & Death Stranding 2, even catching President Macron's attention. This is a game-changer for the industry!

Sandfall saw what you all did to Simon and took it personally.

In einem New York Times Interview mit Sandfall Interactive kam jetzt raus, dass die Entwicklung von Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 gerade mal 10 Mio. Dollar gekostet hat. Das ist lächerlich im Gegensatz zu den ganzen AAA Titeln mit einem Budget von mehreren 100 Mio.

A ver, no quiero defender la AI, pero ese podría perfectamente contratar a Sandfall interactive para hacer un tetris y aún así la cagaría.

i *do* wish sandfall had just given a clear statement about it to put the matter to rest so we don't have to sit here reading tea leaves, but i'll take "immediately patched that shit out on release" over "hey like, we totally had to use AI and we'll keep using it, but stop being mad at us tho 🥺"

Eu quero o sucessor de Expedition 33 mas também que a Sandfall trabalhe em novos jogos com novas mecânicas.
