Fantastic OT, great work! Easily my most anticipated title of the year, and though it feels like we've been waiting forever I think it'll be worth the wait. Congrats to Thomas and the entire team on what looks to be another great game!
Have we had any previews of what the art book from the CE looks like? Been thinking about picking it up.

Nothing internal yet:
The set looks incredibly sharp, really looking forward to picking mine up.
Thanks, it does look nice. I'd totally buy a larger standalone art book, but still might have to jump on this just to have it! Haven't bought a physical game in years, but thinking an exception can be made for Ori.

Prerelease Interview
Have the game preloaded on PC Gamepass and now I'm waiting for the collector's edition to ship out.
Almost time.
Almost time.
Hmmmmmm! Interesting! This is something I with get in a heartbeat.
Hmm. I wonder how my 780 and I7 950 will hold up. What resolution did you run it at? Aside from the freezes did you get a stable 60fps?

thomasmahler I know you can't give many details on the exact finances BUT would it be more beneficial for the studio for me to buy the game through steam than playing it through gamepass? I have gamepass right now and I'm ready to play but I honestly think you guys deserve all the support you can get for making a great game and being such great voices in the industry.
Yeah it's kind of amazing how slowly 2020 started. The first two months were basically empty. But starting with Ori, things get CRAZY for the remaining 10 months if you own both an Xbox One and PS4.

I remember the timer stopping when you're in the pause menu in Blind Forest, but the clock losing precision over time definitely should not happen lol
I'm definitely curious about this as well, even though I know we're unlikely to get too many details. It is cool to see how much advertising they are getting from MS/GamePass and I really hope it gets played by tons of people. I'll be buying to support regardless.
i'm still annoyed by that huge regional price difference in my country...
It's 20 $ more than the regular price... the price of the collector basically...
So my only solution is buy a key from somewhere else

Well, I certainly hope tons of people that wouldn't try Ori get to try it thanks to GamePass - We saw that with a lot of people on Blind Forest, folks that weren't into 2d games or Platformers who then tried Ori and were thrilled. So the more people play, the better. That said, every sale obviously helps us as a studio :)
Pause menu is not the same as map/shard menus. I'm sure it still pauses at the pause menu with the options and such. Time you spent on the skill tree and map probably counted towards your play time in Blind Forest too, but I'm not sure
Edit: Just checked and the time you spend at the map menu does not count towards the timer in Blind Forest. But honestly, I think it's part of the gameplay and it should count, so I'm glad they changed it now for WotW; the time you spend playing the game will be more accurate. Also, I imagine we'll be spending a lot of time in the menus with all the quests and shards and whatnot, unlike in BF where the time you spent on the map and skill tree was not a lot. What I'm trying to get here is, the addition of the menu time shouldn't make Blind Forest and WotW less comparable in terms of play time

Ok great, thanks for answering! Hope the next week is one of celebration!
Cancelled my Game Pass subscription (no other games on it that I wanted to play) and will instead be buying a Steam copy of the new Ori to support y'all :-) Really looking forward to it! Thanks to you and the team for all your hard work over the last 4 years!
I have been a fan of platformers my whole life so... with that answer you convinced me. I had in mind playing it on Game Pass, but you deserve many many sales... another Steam one then!
