#MY FRIEND PEDRO RIPE FOR REVENGE UPDATE#
So, after working tirelessly for a week we managed to get an update out there which shifted the monetisation model to be ad-supported instead.’
‘After the initial release of Ripe for Revenge the overwhelming response was that people would prefer an ad-supported business model more. ‘However, it turned out I was quite out of touch with the way the mobile market works when I made that decision.’ ‘I felt it was a clean way of letting people try the game and know exactly what the game is before deciding if they want to purchase it or not,’ Agren said. One thing he wanted to implement was a free-to-start approach where players could unlock the full game for a one-time in-app purchase, something not often seen in the mobile market these days. Ripe for Revenge‘s concept came to Agren when developing My Friend Pedro, although the end result was more directed by the relaxed development process, instead of having a fixed idea in mind. ‘I find it easier to work on something when there is as little external expectation on me as possible.’įrameborder="0" allow="accelerometer autoplay clipboard-write encrypted-media gyroscope picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen> ‘I waited until pretty much the whole game was in place until I showed it to Devolver and asked them if they were interested in publishing the game, again mainly to relieve me of some pressure during development’ Agren said. So loose was the development process on Ripe for Revenge that Agren didn’t even think about releasing it as a commercial product until late in development, which helped him work on the project ‘in a healthy manner’. I tried to make the whole development cycle of the game as loose as possible, allowing myself to take all the breaks I needed – and I also tried to make the structure of the game in a way that it was easy for me to jump in and out of developing it without having to constantly think about the game, even when I was away from the computer.’ ‘Since I have a quite clear picture of what a My Friend Pedro game is, it felt like it could be quite straightforward to attempt to make a version for mobile.
‘I was curious about making something for mobile since it was something new to me and it felt like a platform where I could make something simpler and have it fit into the expectations of its ecosystem.’ My Friend Pedro: Ripe for Revenge. ‘As I realised this whole pandemic would take a while to pass, I also realised I needed something to keep me busy, but at the same time give space for me to recover from the burnout that followed the previous game,’ Agren said. While some people took up baking, knitting, and various other home-bound hobbies during the early stages of the pandemic, Agren took to working on what would become Ripe for Revenge. ‘Frankly, it’s been hard to get a measure on life past the release of the PC/console version of My Friend Pedro, since most of that time has been spent in lockdown, away from where life typically happens.’ ‘The past two years have been quite odd – both for me personally, and for humankind (with the pandemic and whatnot),’ Agren said over email.
Similar to everyone over the past couple of years, the pandemic has been a period of adjustment for Agren, who was only briefly unable to eat bananas without receiving strange looks in the shared office space before lockdowns became the norm.
