Vi stødte ind i Harebrained Schemes' kunstdirektør Mike McCain ved PAX East-messen, og han fortalte os lidt om Shadowrun Returns-udviklerens næste projekt - Necropolis.
"It's a third person action roguelike. So what we're doing with it is we're taking this classic roguelike formula with a highly procedural dungeon, a lot of replayability, permadeath. And we're mixing that with fast paced third-person timing based combat system. So think Dark Souls light mixed with Spelunky."
Vi spurgte selvfølgelig også ind til den specielle grafik:
"It's kind of a growing trend in graphics design and in some video games these days to do kind of a low poly very minimal geometric style with flat shading and kind of careful lighting and rendering. So we just wanted to bring that to the game in kind of a weird way. Lots of angular shapes, triangular constructions. Obviously also very inspired by titles like Journey and Wind Waker - classic more stylised games."
Lige nu står spillet til at udkomme på PC, med en udgivelsesvindue senere på året, men Harebrained Schemes håber også på, at kunne få en konsolaftale i hus.
