The Remedy stream starring Sam Lake, Matthew Poretta & Ilkka Villi
To officially kick-off Bright Falls Week, Remedy organized a stream on Twitch that starred Sam Lake (Writer, Creative Director), Matthew Poretta (Voice of Alan Wake), and Ilkka Villi (Face of Alan Wake). Remedy’s Community Manager Vida Starcevic acted as a host and made sure some questions sent in by the community got answered. The three mostly reminisced how it was working on Alan Wake and what sort of challenges they faced along the way or how it influenced their work beyond the game. It was a great show and Sam lake spoke with great detail about the development process and his sources of inspiration. If you’d like to watch back the stream, click here.
