The Endless Forest- Recieving Information from the Creators!

I got in touch with the designers of 'The Endless Forest' (Tale of Tales) via 'The Endless Forest' Forum pages, they replied to my original post enquiring after the roles of the production staff and about their software:

ORIGINAL POST:

Hi, I would like some information about The Endless Forest for my degree if possible? I need to know how many people were involved in the making of the game, what areas there were in the design process (character design etc.)? What software did Tale of Tales use to create the game? And where do you begin when creating a game? Any information would be greatly appreciated, thankyou for your help.

REPLY:

The software we used is Quest3D.

The first thing we created was a prototype with temporary assets. Then we decided to produce the game in stages and raised funding for stage one. The important aspect of stage one was to finalize the game and publish it so people could play it, even if it was very minimal.
