We were responsible for delivering an attractive game vision and making sure that that the implementation process would reach its goals. Retain creative control: The creative side of the project had to originate from and be overseen within CI Games. We knew from the get go that to do this project well we would need to be effective in the way we divided labor. Divide responsibilities effectively: Co-development requires that roles and responsibilities be effectively divided, communicated, and enforced. We thought an action RPG would be the natural choice, but in order to start we needed the right people. Find the right partner: Up to this point, CI Games was mainly known for action titles, and had not developed any RPG games prior. It certainly was not a typical “developer-publisher” relationship, and I hope that many can learn from our experience.Īt the start of the project, we had several goals ahead of us: In this post-mortem, I would like to shed a little more light on the co-development model we used and the roles that CI Games and Deck13 played. Also for me, the project was what I always wanted – to be inside the core team rather than marketing. For our development partner, Deck13, I believe it was a great project to step forward as a studio, as a growing dev team, and as individuals who really wanted to go through the production cycle of a major title. For the team at CI Games, it was the first project of ours that showed that a co-development model and heavy outsourcing can work well, provided you keep the creative vision in-house. Not least the minds of those involved in the project. Lords of the Fallen is a project that changed many things in the minds of many people. Tomasz Gop, the executive producer who left CI Games, had something to say post-release about the development of Lords of the Fallen:Īn analysis of co-development in AAA games – a Lords of the Fallen postmortem To compliment my opinion on the game, this is why enjoy LotF more than I did DS2. I sincerely hope we get to see more of that. It looks, sounds, and feels incredibly powerful, I absolutely love how I can do a running 2h attack with a great hammer against a large shield foe and see his poise shattered, just to be hit by a satisfying overhead follow up swing. LotF is great so far, because the game gradually makes you feel increasingly more powerful. We don t need another DS, leave that to From Software.
LotF was always compared to DS (for good reasons), but I found it fine that the game was more forgiven. I'm very much afraid they will take out most of the RPG elements in favor of simplified, story-focussed action game (aka the Sacred 3 route). What do you guys think? I think LotF 2 would be have perfectly fine building on the first game, but simply improving. As of current information, LotF 2 is heading towards being a story driven sequel. Unfortunately, it seems the original team has nothing to do with it and the lead designer apparently left the team as well.
Lords of the fallen 2 players series#
It does not yet have a release date yet, but Lords of the Fallen will be coming to the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.So, I read that LotF 2 is currently in development is aimed for 2017. Hexworks, a CI Games subsidiary studio, takes over the development of the sequel. The original was developed by Deck13 and CI Games. Lords of the Fallen is a sequel to the 2014 game of the same name. There will also be some sort of incursion where players from other realms can invade your games similar to Elden Ring. Lords of the Fallen will also feature a two-player online cooperative mode. The ARPG allows gamers to develop unique playstyles by upgrading stats, weapons, armor, and spells. The expansive character creation system also lets players choose one of the nine starting classes. Lords of the Fallen has an extensive character creation and nine starting classes. Gamers can also choose to utilize magic spells instead of weapons to take on foes. Lords of the Fallen features a fast and challenging combat system where players can use a huge number of uniquely brutal weapons. However, Unreal Engine 5 gives the developers the tools to make their vision of the game a reality. It is not yet clear if players can traverse between the two worlds on the fly. The former is the world of the living while the latter is the land of the dead. The game features two vastly different worlds in Axiom and Umbral.
