Aesir's Marc Bosch on Simulation and Horse Games

Aesir Interactive and Nacon have released an ambitious simulation with a relatively new theme: Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator. We spoke to Marc Bosch, Business Development and Publishing Director, about the launch and the next project.
GamesMarkt: How pleased is Aesir Interactive with the launch of Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator?
Marc Bosch: "We are over the moon excited about the launch of Ambulance Life. This project was a labor of love for the studio, and we are humbled by the community response. Our last simulator, Police Simulator: Patrol Officers, started development over 5 years ago. Our studio, talent, and expertise have all grown significantly in that time and we have been eager to share what this team is capable of. The valuable feedback the community gave us within the first weekend of the game were amazing insights on how players felt about the game and the world we built. Our team put most of that feedback into a patch to value our great community and released it right away."
GamesMarkt: Will Aesir stay in the simulation market after Ambulance Life and Police Officers?
Marc Bosch: "Simulation games have become a core strength of Aesir Interactive, and we are incredibly passionate about creating engaging, high-quality experiences in this genre. With Police Simulator: Patrol Officers and Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator, we've proven that there is a strong demand for detailed, immersive, and realistic profession-based simulations."
"One area where we have extensive experience is horse-themed games, and we're excited to bring that expertise to our (...) Kickstarter for Windstorm: Legend of Khiimori. This ambitious open-world project will build on our previous successes in the genre and push the boundaries of what players can expect from equestrian adventures. Our goal is to create a breathtaking and immersive experience that resonates with both long-time fans and newcomers alike."
