Well, OmNewsers, it's been a long road, but after all my time doing work for this website, I've gotten an interview with the elusive Semyon Voinov! It's an exciting moment here for all OmNewsers and Cut the Rope fans alike, so without further ado let's jump into it!
Barry: "So how did you begin creating the Cut the Rope franchise that everyone has come to know and love?" Semyon: "It's a strange thing really. I had a dream once and Om Nom was there. He stood there with his big Om Nommy eyes and stared me down. He started munching on candy and I realized—oh my God, this would be a fantastic video game—so that's how we're here now." Barry: "Was Om Nom the same in your dream?" Semyon: "We made a few design adjustments (smaller eyes, he was a bit taller in my dream) but aside from that it's like he was plucked directly from it. No other characters came from the dream though! For instance, Om Nelle (Om Nom's girlfriend) was made by our art team. Barry: "Were there any scrapped designs for the other characters?" Semyon: "Yes! Originally, Om Nelle was going to be a boy named Om Nomo, but our art team at the time decided that might have received backlash." Barry: "What does that imply for the sexuality of Om Nom?" Semyon: "Well, at the time Om Nom was going to be homosexual, but many members of our staff decided against that. Now that time has passed, I can proudly say that we consider him to be bisexual." Barry: "Do you think people are going to be upset over this?" Semyon: "Some members of our staff (now fired) felt it was unnecessary and gross to add sexuality on to Om Nom (especially considering he is a child in the early games). However, sexuality is not inherently... well, "sexual". It's simply an attraction, and it is of no harm to add it to Om Nom. In fact, it may even help some underage members of the LGBTQ+ community feel accepted. Seeing a character as wonderfully designed as Om Nom share their sexuality would be reassuring." Barry: "Do you still like Om Nom's design?" Semyon: "I think it's a classic design! While we've done some different iterations, he's always mostly remained the same. The other characters have been us trying some basic new ideas, but the original Om Nom design is the base because it could never be replaced." Barry: "Where did the ropes come into play?" Semyon: "One of our game designers came into the studio and saw me holding up a rope for some at-home work I was doing. He immediately yelled "Eureka! I know what to do with the Om Nom fella"." Barry: "How did your team design the wonderfully inventive puzzles found in all of the games?" Semyon: "We thought really hard about them. We ran them through multiple quality tests. Then, once they had been confirmed to be at least fantastic 5 times, we let them in the game. We did this with every single level." Barry: "Will there be more returns to the original puzzle style of the first Cut the Rope games?" Semyon: "Can't say anything on that for now, so just watch out!" Barry: "Last but not least, what do you have to say about Om Nom: Run?" Semyon: "An absolutely wonderful endeavor! Make sure to download it on iOS and Android!" That was my interview with wonderful Semyon Voinov! He was wonderful to talk to, and I hope to talk to more ZeptoLab employees in the future! -Barry Webs, OmNews

What the hell! I agree with those fired employees! There's no reason for Om Nom to have a "sexuality"!

What?! Om Nom is bisexual? I didn’t know that! I thought Om Nom only likes Om Nelle!
