Tropical islands, pirates, shopping, and blondes -- do these things have anything in common? Find out as Flotsam talks to designer Steve Ince, whose previous work includes the Broken Sword series.

How many blondes does it take to escape from a desert island?

I'm not one that reads many interviews, and almost avoided this one as well, but had to see if it was based on the stereotypical blond, even though I'm not.
The interview covered a lot of ground without becoming boringly excessive.

Thanks flotsam and Steve; does look like an interesting game and the graphics are cute, and I do like games that develop moral values and ethics per a character which is what this appears to be.

Nice interview!

I really enjoyed So Blonde. The graphics and settings are just gorgeous, the script, story and voice acting were top notch and I really liked the way Sunny grew as a character throughout.

Seriously though, this is a deep rich game, with lots to see and do. Great characters as well. Oh.. Keep a sharp eye out for all the "other game" and cultural homages. The humor is subtle in some places, in your face others. One moment in particular had me laughing for a time. I would mention it in particular, but I am afraid it might say something dire about my persona if I gave it away -

And now we're ALL intrigued.

And the dialogues are "quite nice", even ... "legendary" laugh

Great interview Flotsam and Steve. I have to say the picture of the Pirate has utterly sold me - I'm ready to buy! rotfl
And I really appreciated learning something new - I had no idea that Steve had contributed to The Witcher. Can you elaborate on what? (On the darkside, this is a huge favorite).

I had the task of script editing a large part of the dialogue on the original version.

The Witcher Stevie, haven't got my eager hands on So Blonde yet. As I said previously, I'm very much looking forward to seeing the pirate. hearts No doubt So Blonde is sensational as well.

I'm not really the person to thank for The Witcher. As I said, I only did some script editing, but it's always good to know you enjoyed the game.

Great interview smile Is So Blonde hitting retailers here in Australia? If not, will it be available via any online download services? It looks like my cup of tea. Sometimes I need a more light hearted game to play, especially in between bouts of Fallout 3 - the most depressing game of all time razz

Orient -- I did see info a few months ago about the game releasing in Australia, but apparently it hasn't hit shelves yet, and I don't have any information as to when it will. frown

You can purchase the game through Interact CD, which ships internationally -- I couldn't find the game in the main Interact store, but it is available in the Just Adventure store here.
