A portion of a Vooks interview with Dreamrift’s Peter Ong...

V: How extensively did the team work with Warren Spector and the Junction Point team?

Peter: DreamRift developed this game while Junction Point was developing the separate upcoming game, Disney Epic Mickey: The Power of Two for other consoles. As Creative Directors of two different studios making two completely standalone Epic Mickey experiences, Warren and I met early on in development to make sure that each game would provide a coherent addition to the overall fiction of Epic Mickey.

At the beginning of our project, staff members from Junction Point were very helpful in sharing reference assets and in communicating the various rules of Wasteland and the behaviour of objects and characters within it so that we could come up with a new story that works with the original Epic Mickey fiction to bring famous classic Disney characters and the original Castle of Illusion videogame into the Epic Mickey universe for the first time.

V: What’s next for DreamRift?

Peter: We’re currently working on something that we can’t wait to talk about! Unfortunately, we’re unable to speak about it right now. DreamRift would like to express its utmost appreciation to everyone for their interest and support!
