Sandfall Head Guillaume Broche said in an interview that the company does not plan to expand the team. According to him, modern development tools have become simpler and more powerful, so small studios can create games at the level of large blockbusters, while maintaining flexibility and authorial vision. He believes that there will be more studios like Sandfall, and games like Clair Obscur.
"We traveled a lot in Asia and saw several Chinese studios. I think we are at the beginning of a new wave of development. With modern technology, it has become much easier to do projects that look larger than the team's resources."
He added that he is increasingly seeing early prototypes from small but ambitious teams:
"These games look amazing and play great. This is the beginning of a new era - projects that are not afraid of risk, with a unique style and a high artistic level."
Broche emphasized that he was inspired by games such as Hellblade and A Plague Tale: Innocence. According to him, they proved that even with a small team, you can create a visually impressive hit.
"We realized that you can dream big, even if you have less than 50 people."
