The Tomorrow Children: Dylan Cuthbert tells how he got the license from Sony's hands

Dylan Cuthbert has successfully achieved a rare feat by getting the Tomorrow Children license from Playstation hands. As announced last September, his studio Q-Games is preparing the second birth of the cooperative game for the least singular originally released under the patronage of Japan Studio in September 2016. In an interview published by Games Industry, Veteran Dylan Cuthbert returns in more detail on the circumstances of this unexpected resurrection.

After the closing of the game decided by Sony in November 2017, Dylan Cuthbert first tempted his luck by contacting Allan Becker, who was still in charge of Japan Studio, but he was not able to fully overlook the Wish the creator: intellectual property rights were scattered throughout the PlayStation organization. Another opportunity arose when Greg Rice joined the PlayStation team in charge of partnerships with independent games. Former Double Fine, Greg Rice had attended Dylan Cuthbert with the Day of the Devs festivals, which encouraged the boss of Q-Games to retry his luck and send a message to this new timely rook.

Despite the good will of Greg Rice, the politics of the house was clear: a Sony license remains at Sony. Dylan Cuthbert had put his project aside until Hermen Hulst's promotion at the head of the Playstation Studios in November 2019. Here again that Dylan Cuthbert had the opportunity to cross a few times during the The development of The Tomorrow Children. The British expatriate in Japan takes the opportunity to send a double message to the new boss. "Ficing for the new post, and also, if you see The Tomorrow Children hanging out in a corner, could you transmit it to me? "

It was finally beginning 2020 that Greg Rice resumes contact with Dylan Cuthbert to confirm that the door was open. Q-Games was going to be able to get the Tomorrow Children license and all the contents of the game, music to animations passing through the voices. A process that has proved much longer and complex than imagined, to the point that it took less than 18 months to finalize the administrative formalities and ensure that Q-Games could use the content of the game. Dylan Cuthbert had, however, Taken the lead and assigned some programmers to start working on the new version of the game, 6 months before getting all rights.

The abandoned Free-to-Play model

When it will refra up at the earliest at the end of the year 2022 on PS4 (and perhaps other platforms if success is at the rendezvous), The Tomorrow Children will work on a peer-to-peer network to limit costs associated with servers. Above all, the game will no longer be based on a Free-To-Play formula, a model of which neither Q-Games nor Sony did not control the codes at the time of the game.

"It was a free-to-play game, which therefore needed time to develop and so that we find it to monetize it properly. But this is the main reason why it ended up being Closed, because we have not really managed it to monetize it. We did not have the experience of the Free-To-Play, which probably did not help, but Sony either. We were still in the process of Seek the way to make money thanks to players. Not in a manipulative way, we wanted to find a nice way to win just enough for the game to continue. "

The Tomorrow Children: Interview with developer Dylan Cuthbert

"We planned a lot of content, but the wind had just turned at Sony internally and they moved away from the free-to-play. They canceled a lot of free-to-play titles at that time to promote the games Premium. So we have also been taken in these circumstances, "recalls Dylan Cuthbert. That, of course, it was in 2017. Four years later, the management of PlayStation seeks to diversify and take out a dozen services-services by March 2026, among which we will certainly find some free-to-play..
