Have you got any questions for the developers of The Night of the Rabbit? Tell us! The most interesting ones will be used in an upcoming Q&A. If we use your question, you'll be awarded a $9.99 gift-code! Please submit questions before tomorrow, at 10:00AM GMT. In the meantime, we invite you to have a first look at the game:
The art style looks very interesting to me, that's for sure. As for suggesting a few questions:

Are there any interesting anecdotes as to what inspired the creation of this or that character, both for the artstyle and the personality? Where the characters all part of the same world when the short stories were written, or did they come together for the game? Would they be willing to talk about the world at length?

What can we expect from a gameplay perspective? Will it be a classic point and click adventure with puzzles, or will there be a different approach? Will there be a hint system?

What can be said about the soundtrack? Do they have a personal favourite among the tracks?

Is there a scene they are particularly proud of? Would they be willing to talk about it a little (without spoilers, of course)?

Is there anything they had to cut from the game they wish they could have kept, but had to drop for money/time limits?

Who they feel is their target audience with this game?

Is the story going to be linear, or will it have some "pick your own path" elements?

Why would you use that in here...
No german = no buy. It's very unfair that every language is included except german although Daedelic is a german developer. We germans get ripped of like almost everytime. :(

Crosmando: Hey does anyone here remember this old point-and-click game with animal-people? I vaguely remember seeing it played when I was younger and it freaked me the hell out

For my question for the developers.

What are the challenges in releasing a game globally while keeping content understandable in all regions, for example making sure a joke or a small reference will be recognizable to everyone.

I think you answered your own question :)
It sounds good, im sure point and click fans will enjoy it, alas im not a point and click fan so i shall be skipping this title.
Let's say I already have pretty much everything else from Daedelic, any chance I could get a gift for something else than Deponia? :P
Nice. For Chains of Satinav Daedalic could blame Deep Silver as publisher for offering the german audio only with the steamworks retail version and the digital steam version, which costs around 40€ in germany. Now the same game again for The night of the rabbit and Daedalic as publisher...

Just now i am feeling bad for buying both Deponia and all other Dadalic Games on GOG - maybe they decide to sell Deponia 3 without german audio too? This is really disappointing and it feels like a kick in the nuts from Daedalic.
Question for devs: This seems like really imaginative game, even more so than your previous games like Deponia and Whispered World, so where did you come up with all this, what gave you the idea to the game?

For this game there is the little problem with speech. Subtitles are no fun and not everybody can understand English.
For Germany, well Germany is the best market for business strategy and point-and-click games (read the interview with
the former Lucas Arts Manager)...so they can sell more games here. Thats OK for me, cause Daedalic is a fantastic studio.

For the questions: Night of the Rabbit consists of how many episodes? And are you planning to release all 3 Deponia
games in one big box with (hope hope) entertaining gimmicks ?
Not putting 20 bucks in an adventure game: I suck at those, but this seems lovely (although I absolutely understood near to nothing in the video. :P)

Schnuff: Subtitles are no fun and
BAH! SHut up! That's because of thinking like that that we can't get correct subtitles management in games (looking at you Bioshock Infinite). :/
