Like NASA simulation inspired the composition of Clair Obscura

How to put expedition for such a game Clear unclear: Expedition 33? For the writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, this meant rethinking the classic types of RPG events, as if they were a cast Armageddon – dynamics she understood unexpectedly with a personal level.

Even in a fantasy affluent in history, in which the player’s investment is everything, mechanics drive a character. There was some obvious initial places: Svedberg-Yen says from the very beginning and the director of the game Guillaume Broche “they really wanted someone with some lively magic, someone who would have more swords and pistols and the like.” Which is good because we all wanted it too.

During the Nexus of the Combat Mechanics Tournament, Fantasy World Building and NASA Space Mission Staffing, Svedberg-Seen found its cast. She needed an engineer, so Gustave was born. Society, farmer, could take care of meals. To check this elementary box, Svedberg-Yen invented Lune, whose powers made her a researcher. Even when characters, history and mechanics have evolved, the remains of these early ideas.

“Society was initially supposed to be an archer,” says Svedberg-Yen, “So I wrote a dialogue for her, in which she takes philosophers about archery, but makes him a little wider-it is actually still in the game. When he talks about” seeing “. And then Guillaume later took it and changed forward, changed the mechanics.

Expedition 33 The unique structure-and the main phrases of the act after act 1-Svedberg-Yen and Broche have brown to further increase the expectations of the traditional RPG cast. Mainly there is no main character with an orbit accompanying them.

“In act 1, the main character is probably Gustave. In act 2, this is Verso. Presumably, in Act 3 it is Maelle. I always described it as Maelle is a hidden main character, Gustave is the main hero of Wabik, and Verso is the main character, but not really the main character. What is great. This person who is the main character for you.

Svedberg-Yen cannot say if there is the future of these characters and even the potential of continuation Expedition 33 (Maybe for “Bright“The name, but even it is far away when the Sandfall Interactive team focuses on crushing errors and optimizing the game they have just published). But its pursuit of creating fresh, captivating characters seems to be a success.
