Broken Roads - Review

Posted on Apr 22, 2024 22:22 by RPGWatch

[​IMG]Digitally Downloaded reviewed Broken Roads:

[​IMG]

Review: Broken Roads (PC)

So this is what Australia will be like soon...

One of my favourite things about Broken Roads is that every second sentence there's a word that's highlighted, and you can press a button to see a little pop-up explaining what that word means. That word is inevitably a piece of Australian English, and the developers felt the need to include a complete glossary so that non-Australians could figure out what was actually being said.

In every other way, Broken Roads plays out like a classic Fallout (as in, before Fallout 3) or Wasteland. It's a post-apocalyptic, gritty, hard western that likes to challenge the player's morality almost as much as it does throwing them into deadly situations. But it's also Australian. Not in a Crocodile Dundee over-the-top caricature to appeal to the stereotypical "understanding" of Australia that other places in the world seem to think is cute. No. It's as Australian as Fallout is American. It just is, and that's appealing.

[...]

There aren't too many truly authentic games set in Australia, made by Australians, telling Australian stories. Broken Roads is one, and it is one of the most different and interesting games you'll play this year on that basis alone. Yes there are more refined RPGs out there, but none of those will take you on a crash course through Australian mannerisms while delivering a compelling narrative of human resilience, community, weakness and savagery.

Score: 4.5/5

Troubleshooter: Banished Children - Development Status

Posted on Apr 22, 2024 22:22 by RPGWatch

[​IMG]Dandylion posted some concepts of their ongoing project Troubleshooter: Banished Children:

[​IMG]

Development status of the next work

Hello everyone, this is the Troubleshooter development team.

First, we deeply thank everyone who enjoyed Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children. Thanks to your love and support, we are now planning on our next title, Troubleshooter: Banished Children.

The sequel will be presented in the form of Early Access after 2 years of development. We apologize for presenting our sequel as Early Access even after a long development process despite many expectations from those who want to experience the sequel in its plain form as soon as possible.

Due to our lack of skill, the development process will take a long time, but we won't stop doing our best to communicate with all our fans at all costs.

As a part of this effort, today we reveal some of our concept data for the sequel.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn - Preview @ Wccftech

Posted on Apr 21, 2024 15:52 by RPGWatch

[​IMG]Wccftech checked out the action RPG Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn:

[​IMG]

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn Preview and Q&A - Wide Linear Soulslite with 20 Hours of Content

At GDC 2024, New Zealand-based developer A44 (known for 2018's Ashen) provided an updated look at Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, its upcoming action RPG that sits between God of War and a lite, more accessible version of the Soulslike genre.

A44 is now composed of around 65 employees, and they've been working on this game for quite a while. Flintlock fantasy novels inspire the game's original setting with a striking central theme: Gods wielding magic versus armies made of regular people wielding guns from a Napoleonic era.

At the beginning of Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, main character Nor Vanek is attempting to close the door of the 'Great Below' death realm to prevent the dead from rising. Unfortunately, the mission heavily backfires and not only is the portal still open, the Gods have been unleashed in the world, too.

[...]

You mentioned that the flintlock setting was employed by multiple authors across many books. Is there a specific one you've drawn inspiration from?

No, there isn't a specific one. We actually consulted with a few of the authors really early on in development. Just like we wanted to stamp our brand in the Soulslike genre, we want to do the same when it comes to the flintlock fantasy genre setting as well.

You use the term wide linear to describe the level layout. But as we saw a moment ago for this biome, there is like a larger open world map. Do you have free rein once you're in that specific biome to go where you wish, or is the game still kind of guiding you toward key points of interest?

You will be guided through the main path. Off of that, you'll have side content that you can go and explore. We do describe ourselves as a wide linear game for that reason, it's not really an open world per se. There's distinct zones that you can travel into.

No Rest for the Wicked - Remote Development

Posted on Apr 21, 2024 15:52 by RPGWatch

[​IMG]Gameinformer reports that Moon Studios used remote development for No Rest for the Wicked:

[​IMG]

No Rest For The Wicked Developer Moon Studios On Why Remote Development Is Key To Its Success

No Rest for the Wicked is the upcoming action RPG from Moon Studios, the developer behind Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps. It's also the game gracing the latest cover of Game Informer. Cover story writer and editor Marcus Stewart and I traveled to Vienna, Austria, to play the game and speak with two of its leads, tech and production director and studio co-founder Gennadiy Korol and studio CEO and creative director Thomas Mahler.

However, while the frosted glass of the front door of the two-story apartment we entered was engraved with the words "Moon Studios", this studio is actually just Mahler's workplace. Korol met us in Vienna for the cover story, but he actually lives in Israel. The rest of Moon Studios lives around the world, because Moon Studios is completely remote - there is no headquarters to report to or central location to work.

While remote development has become more popular as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Moon Studios has been remote since its founding in 2009. When I asked Korol and Mahler about remote development, it's clear it's a big part of the team's winning game development formula, responsible for the aforementioned Ori games and the upcoming No Rest for the Wicked, which launches into Early Access on PC next month.

Larian Studios - Working on two Projects

Posted on Apr 21, 2024 15:52 by RPGWatch

[​IMG]GamingBolt reports that Larian is currently working on two projects:

[​IMG]

Larian Studios is Working on Two Projects Based on its Own IP

The Baldur's Gate 3 developer recently confirmed that it's next game wouldn't be tied to Dungeons and Dragons in any way.

"Being given the chance to develop a game set in the Dungeons and Dragons universe has been a dream come true for all of us," Larian wrote. "But as Swen recently confirmed, we won't be introducing any major new narrative content to the story of Baldur's Gate 3 or its origin characters and companions, nor will we be making expansions or Baldur's Gate 4.

"As an independent studio since 1996, we value the freedom to follow our creativity wherever it leads. In this case, after six years in the Forgotten Realms and much discussion and rumination, we've decided to seize this opportunity to develop our own IPs. We're currently working on two new projects and we couldn't be more excited about what the future has in store."

Baldur's Gate 3 - Swen Vincke Interview

[​IMG]Gamesindustry interviewed Swen Vincke:

Larian after Baldur's Gate 3: "We have ambitions to make really good RPGs, and that's sufficient"

CEO Swen Vincke on the studio's biggest hit, why the team is moving on, and solving the industry's unsustainable growth

Last week, Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 won five BAFTAs, including Best Game and Player's Choice.

[...]

"We did something new," Vincke says when chatting about BG3's success. "We put agency in cinematics at a level that hadn't been done before, and we didn't go out of the way trying to take shortcuts, although we did use a lot of tricks. But you can sense that the agency was real, I think. So that's a massive reason. We didn't deviate from that, even if we were facing development problems."

The resurgence of Dungeons & Dragons, and the weight of the Baldur's Gate name, both played their part in this success story, but there was a real 'if you build it, they will come' approach to making Baldur's Gate 3, coupled with not only a strong bond with the Larian community but the right strategy to maintain it.

"I'll give you a very Catholic answer - treat your players as you would like to be treated, that's it," Vincke says when asked about how to maintain trust with a game's community.

No Rest for the Wicked - Preview

[​IMG]TSA checked out No Rest for the Wicked:

[​IMG]

No Rest For The Wicked is a dark and dangerous addition to the action RPG genre

Accompanied by strains of vocal-led orchestral music, the Moon Studios title rises into view. For many, this is reason enough to sit up and take notice of No Rest For The Wicked. For the studio behind the sublime Ori series, a visually arresting and emotional pair of platformers, this is the tricky third album: a new IP, a new direction, and a launch into Early Access along with it. Taking a swing at the action RPG genre, there's echoes of From Software alongside Diablo here, and yet, Moon Studios' enigmatic outlook shines through. On first impressions alone, there's nothing to be worried about for fans of the studio - excusing the decadent horrors that lie within.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes sequel planned

"We are moving forward with a sequel," studio says.

Rabbit & Bear Studio is "moving forward with a sequel" to strategy RPG Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, the company said in a Reddit AMA held earlier this week.

Asked if the recent death of Suikoden creator and Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes scenario writer Yoshitaka Murayama has put any potential plans for a sequel on the backburner, Rabbit & Bear Studio responded:

"We are moving forward with a sequel. It is very sad that Murayama is not with us anymore, but we have discussed many things with him. I hope we will be able to carry on Murayama's legacy, and I always want to treasure his last work. I hope many people will support this game."
