Under vores tid hos BCN Game Fest i år havde vi mulighed for at indhente Konfa Games for at høre mere om, hvad studiet har i sin pipeline. Som en del af et interview med udvikleren Nikolai Kuznetsov, som du kan se nedenfor med lokaliserede undertekster, spurgte vi ind til, hvordan dette projekt hænger sammen med den bredere Despot-verden.
"Yeah, our first game, Despotism 3K, it was started when Despot, how to say, they started to control humanity. And now it is much later when Despot already, how to say, control all the Earth, but Earth was destroyed by aliens. He took some humans, made very fast spaceship and he moved to fight with this union of aliens who are smart and why they destroyed Earth?
Because they are afraid of evil AI. There is a reason for it."
Med et roguelike-design spurgte vi også ind til, hvordan Konfa Games griber dette an, og hvad vi kan forvente på den front. Her fortalte Kuznetsov, at spillet vil have mere til fælles med Balatro og FTL, hvor der er måder at ændre gameplayet mellem gennemspilningerne, men uden permanente opgraderinger.
"It's only unlocking. It's unlocking new spaceship, new artifacts, new models for spaceship, but it's not about meta progression. I mean, you cannot be, how to say, you can't increase your health or increase your damage between runs, only different modes, different spaceships, yeah, like that. We like more meta progression like in FTL or Balatro when you have very many content and you instantly can replay and beat the game again with different, how to say, different things."
Til sidst spurgte vi ind til tidsplanen for spillet, og hvad man kan forvente i forhold til kommende annonceringer og lanceringen. Kuznetsov gav os et indblik.
"We are moving to open demo, we will announce game soon and right now it is closer to vertical slice because we have a tutorial and we have all our content from the start, you just press play and you have very many many things what is hard to understand and our next step it will make a smooth start for the players and after we'll finish with it, we'll make announce and public demo."
