As you may already know, an 'Ori And The Blind Forest' movie was officially teased by profitable 'Moon Studios' developers in April last year (2015), and hype is beginning to build up as predictions for another large move in 'Ori And The Blind Forest's' furture become more well-known.
In a post on NeoGAF, Thomas Mahler (Moon Studios CEO) publically admits that he has been thinking about the future for 'Ori And The Blind Forest'.
Speaking of which, Mahler said fans can help increase the liklihood of Moon Studios working on more Ori projects by buying the game and telling their friends about it.
"The more copies we sell, the higher the chance that we get to work on new projects," he said.
Mahler later states:
"I have somewhat of an outline now of where I'd like to go with the IP in the future, if we'd get to work on another Ori-related project."
According to Mahler, Moon Studios created a lot of lore for Ori and the Blind Forest that was never used: "There was actually quite a lot of lore we created that didn't really make it into Blind Forest."
"I do really like that we kept the story focused on that triangle-relationship between Ori, Naru and Kuro. I love that our characters have quite a lot of depth and that even our antagonist isn't just out to take over the world, but has a good reason for her actions."
"But it'd be interesting to take it a step further and open up the world a bit more, to give people further insight into how Nibel works, the characters in it, etc."
Mahler also said that Moon Studios is hiring and has five different projects going, ranging from indie to huge, but that it's too early to talk about exactly what they're working on.
The team is scattered across the world instead of sitting in an office somewhere, and they mainly work on the projects that they want to. Mahler thinks that is appealing.
"I think a lot of people are really interested in our way of working, the 'virtual office' kinda thing, etc. - and I think a lot of people are just super hungry to work on passion projects instead of doing work on the, without trying to sound disrespectful, 'factory games'."
Besides another game with Ori, there is another thing Mahler would like to do with the franchise, and he ends by saying:
"Ultimatley, I think it'd be amazing if some movie studio would acquire the film rights and produce a film based on Ori. I think the story we crafted would suit itself really well for that medium as well..."
'Ori And The Blind Forest' was released in March for Xbox One and PC. An Xbox 360 version is came later in spring 2015.
IGN rated 'Ori And The Blind Forest' 8.5/10 and released a verdict stating:
"Bigger and tougher than it looks, Ori and the Blind Forest is a beautifully realized, brilliantly designed, and at times brutally difficult sylvan Metroidvania-style platformer with enough charm to leave a lasting impression. It's often frustrating and sometimes confusing, but its spectacular platforming, memorable world, and engrossing story wash those concerns away."
GameSpot rated Ori and the Blind Forest 9/10 and praised it as a "rapturous platformer that is as fun as it is beautiful."
