Description: Atari's legendary title, Adventure, was the first of its kind and laid the groundwork for the future of game design. When Ilex, a small team in Brazil, showed Tower of Samsara to us for the first time, we were immediately captivated by its beautiful pixel art and animation and inspired by its mix of old and new gameplay hooks to create a unique metroidvania. Even more surprising was the opportunity to weave the classic Adventure into this sprawling epic, now titled Adventure of Samsara. We walk through the journey of the title from a failed Kickstarter to the impending release with Marcelo Rigon (CEO of Ilex, Creative Director, and Programmer), Gilerme Gaspar (Art Director at Ilex and 2D Artist), and Atari's resident Adventure Enthusiast, David Paige.
