TVGB: Mars looks like an industrialized environment, does that mean there will be something other than melee weapons?
JR: Mars is post apocalyptic: the bullets, powder and so exist but are so rare that it's very difficult to find some, and nearly no one still knows how to use them. You'll encounter different type of weapons, even flame throwers but you'll keep your old sword, knives and so as you will not be able to use the guns for long.

TVGB: Why do you think there are so few RPGs on current gen systems?
JR: RPG is a difficult genre that needs a huge effort on balance, story and universe development. A lot of publishers are a little afraid of this type of game that needs hours and hours of test, a good knowledge of this type of game, a lot of marketing and so. It's an important investment that publishers don't always want to do because all RPGs are not always successful and are still consider as a niche, even if when it works it creates strong IPs that can be used on different games and sequels. We took an important risk choosing this genre, but it's our favorite and we know the public waits for good RPGs, so we really hope a publisher will follow us!
