WrestleQuest devs discuss the parallels between indie games and indie wrestling
“Almost every wrestler in the game had to have their own indie circuit [wrestling] start. In many cases, these folks are in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. And they don’t know what indie games are, but they definitely know what indie wrestling is. I think some of them felt like they were also propping us up, and being a part of that kind of journey, because they knew that this was a big risk for the team and a true love letter. A lot of times, it inspired some unique conversations with them, sharing their own issues they had in their journey, when they were on the come-up, which is pretty relatable.”
