Small team and small budget. He says in the interview that they're aiming for something more "intimate" with Wild because of the size of the team. BGE2 seems to have a much bigger budget and will have more life and activity.

You don't need to imagine.
He already did
in fact he is working on both
having quality reluable dev following the project could be helpful too
I wonder which miracles can be done funding the project

People forget that Laura isn't even the only one who has reported that BG&E2 is Switch-exclusive, I mean Destructoid reported it months ago.

As someone said earlier, too much smoke.

For some reason I had the impression all along that wild was a budget digital only game, glad to see is a full fledged game.
I loathe Ubi, but have held to the position that releasing BG&E2 on Wii U or Switch would go a long way towards redeeming themselves. Until then, my wallet remains closed to them.

Wild looked amazing from that gameplay demo way back when. But if it came down to either that or BG&E2? Sorry Wild.

I have more reason to believe it's exclusive to the Switch than not given how reliable Laura has been. That being said, I'm currently more excited for WiLD because we have actual footage of that, and it's a new IP. The premise is super intriguing.
Follow the link and look who wrote that piece.

I'm more interested in BG&E 2 than WiLD, despite owning a PS4 and being highly reluctant (at this point in time anyway) at the idea of purchasing a Switch.
That giant naked snake waifu came awfully close to winning me over though.

I'm still skeptical of BGE2 being Switch exclusive and this reinforce my point of view.
Edit: at most they're "in talks" for some kind of exclusivity.

As I understand it, he means that they are building a word that will be very busy, very rich. I haven't played the original, but I assume it means there will be a lot of characters and things going on that will make the world feel alive?

Exactly that.
Unless of course Nintendo, as rumors suggest, is footing some of the costs..
That would mean a contract is in place which will go on in a post Vivendi take-over world.
Yves was worried about this early this year he was probably shopping the idea of BG&E2 around and Nintendo "bit".
Also the rumored Rabbids X Mario RPG...there's a pretty good partnership going on here.

Wild....ugh, such a promising start.
That was literally like one of my DREAM games when it was first announced/teased. The ability for you to pick to play as literally any number of wild animal/creature, from a fish, to a bird, to wolf, and the ability to do it in a huge open world with a focus on the world being online and the other creatures being real life people also playing the game.
Then. ..then they completely and utterly changed the entire thing.
Now it's became a single player focused game where you in fact do NOT play as "anything" you want, rather you play as a human "shaman" and take over animals for "x" time to do something, similar to Far Cry primal it seems in many aspects now.
Completely lost my interest in that game, such a shame to because it sounded freaking amazing in its original concept.

I am going to need the article where they described as online multiplayer game. As far as I know it alaways was what it is today.

"Every time you play youll discover new things, even in the same place as before. But the best feature came from our prototyping phase when we started playing as wolves, horses, sheep and even trout! So we decided that in WiLD every creature should be playable, even the giant and dangerous ones!
All these features combined, open so many new gameplay situations, especially when playing online. How you approach the game is up to you, what you do and even what you are its all up to you. "

When it was first announced that's what info we had, all of that made it seem like a huge open-world that could be played online where you could play as any creature within that world.
Later on as more as revealed its became more of a single-player style game with some dark-souls style mp bits to it, where you have actual objectives and are playing as a human shaman who can simply control an animal for a time, where animals are treated more as a "goal/tool" to complete missions rather then you being able to choose to play as that actual animal in an online game.

Sounds like a much better game now.
That doesn't mean that it was an online game. It just means that it had an online component and it still might (unless they have ruled it out, which they might have because they are such a small team).

Nope.
If you want to see TRUE chaos, imagine if it was Xbox exclusive.

The coté grouillant is a simple concept.
Think of it like this : See a busy street in a city with lots of people doing their everydays lives. That sort of dynamic chaos resulting in having plenty of people doing their things make a coté grouillant
In french , we say : " ça grouille de monde !" meaning that the place is full/busy with lot of people.
You're Welcome GAF.
Edit : Profusion is in the same mindset.. You're actually having a lot of things at once in a set , in a item , in a moment. If it's told in relation to the coté grouillant it's might be a concept that might be the basis for their worlds.
That's it. it could be translated as "teeming with life".
Except when you follow the link to the article you can see that she's the one who wrote it...

Then do the only reasonably thing. Focus on BG&E 2.

I can't imagine what it must feel like to start, stop, and restart a project that you badly wanted to do and do right. The excitement at the first announcement of BG&E 2 was nuts and I really wonder what it feels like for him to see how people feel about how long it has been since.
I just hope he makes the game he wants to make and that the story and characters are just as good as the first.
