Hey folks! Happy 4th of July. If you are taking some time out of your day filled with food, fun, family, and fireworks and spending it with us, then I am truly honored. To help celebrate, we bring you our exclusive interview with one of the developers from Drinkbox Studios: Chris McQuinn. Chris's exact role at the studio is not quite known, nor is anyone who works at Drinkbox. This is known as horizontal business structure, which allows all the workers at the company to be on equal footing. This is very beneficial in the industry because it keeps morale very high, as everyone feels they have an equal footing at making the company succeed. (Another famous company that follows this strategy is Valve.)

Chris took some time out of his busy development schedule to answer a few of our questions, and for that we are extremely grateful. You can spread the love by purchasing a copy of Guacamelee! which can be purchased for PS3 or Vita for a measley $15. All Metroid fans should at least give this game a shot; or you'll be missing out on one of the most vibrant, fun, and actually challenging 2D Metroidvania games for a next-gen console. Though the game is somewhat short (a non-stop player and Metroid veteran could probably beat it in a single sitting or two) playing with a buddy makes for a damn good time. And there's even a few hidden items to keep you coming back for more.

Check out the interview here. Viva la Guacamelee!
