Nachdem Supreme Commander 2 demnächst auf den Markt kommt, hat der Entwickler Gas Powered Games heute einen neuen Titel angekündigt. Dabei handelt es sich nicht erneut um ein futuristisches Spiel. Stattdessen will man diesmal zurück in die Zeiten des Mittelalters.
Mit Kings and Castles will Chris Taylor sich an einem "Epischen Fantasy RTS" versuchen, bei dem ihr einen von 3 Königen spielt, die die Kontrolle über eine komplett neue, orginelle Fantasy Welt erlangen wollen.
Eine Besonderheit ist die Art, wie man mit den Fans umgehen will. So handelt es sich bei der offiziellen Webseite um einen Blog, der wöchentlich mit einem neuen Inside-Video gefüllt wird, und euch so Einblicke in die Erschaffung und Entstehung des Spiels geben soll.
Angefangen hat es heute mit einem Video über Hühner, Holz hacken und Pferdebisse.
Und zum Schluss wollen wir euch die offizielle Pressemitteilung natürlich nicht vorenthalten:
“We’re doing something different this time around,” said Chris Taylor, Creative Director of Gas Powered Games. “We want to take our fans on a great adventure with us. They’ll get to go behind-the-scenes and watch the game come to life from start to finish.”
Using the game’s website (www.kingsandcastles.com) and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter (follow DeathBot9, Chris Taylor’s personal account), GPG will give its fans a (mostly) unfiltered look inside the development process of Kings and Castles. “Synergy will be leveraged, and paradigms will be established,” said Taylor. “More importantly, buzzwords will be utilized.”
GPG will be posting regular updates about Kings and Castles on its website. The first video blog went live today. It contains graphic scenes of wood chopping, chickens, and the obligatory horse biting.
Future installments will take fans step-by-step through the design process, discussing the creation of prototypes, the work that goes into creating the visual look and feel, while others will cover the proper care and feeding of chickens.
Kings and Castles will utilize the state-of-the-art RTS technology that Gas Powered Games has pioneered with its previous titles. Key features include the ability to zoom to any level, incredible maps, and eye-popping visuals that will run on a wide range of systems.
“We also promise to gouge evil from its shell at least once, or maybe twice,” said Taylor. “But not three times. That would be weird.”
