The three of these will be working as Associate Designer, QA Lead, and Production and Publishing Lead on Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus, and what a team to bring on to this beautiful-looking project. Stair and Youngquist were originally working on the project alone, but have now been joined by these three reputable names who know a thing or two about the Metroidvania genre - Milton Guasti (DoctorM64, Director of AM2R and level designer on Ori and the Will of the Wisps), Esteban Criado (DruidVorse, AM2R's Lead Playtester and Metroidvania speedrunner), and Robert Maloney (Sephazon, Producer of AM2R and Associate for Pokémon Symphonic Evolutions). Members of the team behind Another Metroid 2 Remake (AM2R) have joined this Japanese folklore-inspired search action game which the developers say takes a leaf out of Hollow Knight and Okami's books.
