[wacky ducky]

Chris Seavor just revealed he's working on a spiritual successor to Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Amazing news! And it's rather fitting that he plans to make it a "less literal" successor than YL.

Gotta say, I wasn't aware of that Rusty Pup game, it look very interesting. I hope this gives it more atention but I want to play it regardless of wether it gives us a Conket successor or not.

I suppose it is for the best that Chris Seavor decided to not make Urchin just yet. A spiritual successor to Conker could be useful to make publishers notice the tiny company that is Gory Detail. If he wants to realize his vision for Urchin as it was when he worked on it at Rare (that being a 3D Fable-style game) and not turn it into a smaller 2D game, then he needs to have the support of a publisher which would agree to invest in the project like Starbreeze did with Psychonauts 2. Of course, he would still need the manpower to even start working on such a large project like Urchin will require - perhaps Playtonic could lend a hand? As for the engine to run the game, Unreal Engine 4 would do the job nicely and will help to make the game a lot faster than spending additional time on making their own engine.

What I like about this is that Chris Seavor went out of his way to say this isn't going to be a carbon-copy of Conker's Bad Fur Day, and that it's going to be something in the same spirit as the game, it just won't be as blatant as other "spiritual successors".

Good luck to him.
