Palerland, survival game is often known as “Pokémon with guns” – sometimes affectionately, sometimes sarcastically – produced mixed reactions by critics when the first time began in January 2024.
When we released it, we called it “somewhat fast, worthy of survival, in which a basic concept just dumb dumb”, while the other players noted its similarity with Nintendo’s popular monster coaching RPG. Nevertheless, it was a success overnight, which peeked more than two million users on steam.
In a conversation with GDC 2025 on Monday, John Bakley, manager of the GB Pir Global Community, said it was a “extremely popular to hate polyords” after the launch of a massive launch because it was a “impressive printing machine”.
Bakley also pushed back against some of the allegations leveled at the polyns, including a claim that it was prepared using a generative AI.
“I could stand here and tell you that we did not create Paul World, but at least five people in this room are going to be called ‘liars’. Bakley said, but we have stopped repeating it.
There were also allegations of allegations of Sarqa, which were born of a series of X -bids that compared its models to Pokémon, and at that time Takoro Mesob, CEO of PBB, was called “slander”.
After Pocket Perry’s artists were upset over the allegations, Bakley says the company has released fantastic art and in detail that they call the “Paul vote” through which the design faces the crowd.
The rumors of the Generative AI and the miracles have not been completely removed, but the average plug on the Palword Steam leaves the plugin with about 25,000 harmony.
Pocket Monday is also working on new features, including releases with a long wait for crossplay. In the meantime, the pocket Perry Nintendo’s amazing patent case continues to “hash out”, which Buckley jokingly made fun of as a “fellow Indi company”.
“I think very few companies can escape the post -PolyWorld situation as we did,” says Bakley. “I think many companies can crush under threats, under pressure, under pressure, but we have been able to maintain all our staff. We have been able to move forward because we are such a close and hard -made company.”
