An Interview With Nifflas

By: Brandon McCartin (BMcC)

Here is a Planet Freeplay interview with Nifflas, creator of Within a Deep Forest and Knytt. It’s a nice compliment to the recent Notknytt announcement, I’d say.

Hm. That is a lot of links. The interview in question is right here in case you got lost.

I thoroughly appreciate how strongly music influences his approach to game design. It’s one of those neat little things that makes Nifflas Nifflas, y’know?

He’s quite… I dunno, taciturn. I really like his games, but this interview reminds me a lot of Pixel’s interview on this site.

“to me games are not that much about the gameplay though but more about the ambiance and atmosphere”

Oh… well, fair enough then.

I just checked out Knytt today and played through my lunch and a bit after work to beat it. It was amazing. I forgot I was at work the whole time.

He seems like a cool guy to get a beer with.

@Echo: Yeah, I know what you mean. I like that though, they seem to have a certain level of humility. Must be a foreign thing. :P

@Mr. Shen: Haha, yes, def.
