‘Arcade Paradise’ designer says devs are “cowards” for not including cheats
NME at Gamescom 2022 this week, Nosebleed Interactive’s managing director and Arcade Paradise designer, Andreas Firnigl, has touched on including secrets and cheats when developing games, branding those devs that choose not to include cheats as “cowards”.With a hands-on look at the recently released Arcade Paradise, Firnigl showed NME “the daftest thing that’s in the game that my team hate me for, because obviously I’m the designer and CEO”. Branding it a “stupid, stupid secret thing,” Firnigl showed off five playable arcade machines in-game that “don’t count as part of the 35 plus games” which the game advertises as available.“There’s Flappy Bird, but it’s called Fly Guy, Snake, a little breakout game called Brick, Toad which is like Frogger, and a racing type thing.
