KEN ROLSTON, veterano della saga Elder Scrolls si unisce al team di sviluppo di The Long Dark!


ELDER SCROLLS VETERAN KEN ROLSTON JOINS THE LONG DARK

Hinterland is bringing in Rolston as a Designer-in-Residence.
BY RACHEL HAAS

Ken Rolston is joining the Hinterland team as Designer-in-Residence, according to a press release. The 30-year designing vet will be assisting the studio with The Long Dark, a first-person survivor game that takes place in the wilderness after a global disaster.

"We’re formalizing Ken’s contribution to The Long Dark, and he has graciously accepted to take on the role of Designer-in-Residence at Hinterland," said Raphael van Lierop, founder and creative director of Hinterland. "In this capacity, Ken will support us and guide us as we wrestle with the formidable design challenges we’re undertaking to live up to our grand ambitions for The Long Dark -- a high-quality, open-world, sandbox survival simulation with a compelling narrative, created by a small independent studio without the backing or support of a major publisher."

This won't be Rolston's first venture into RPG game design, having acted as the lead designer on both the The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Having been passionate about "grand scale narratives" during the span of his career, Rolston will now add The Long Dark to his list of credits.

“The moment I saw Raphael’s early concepts for ‘The Long Dark’, I was fascinated. Humbled. And desperately wanted to be involved. And as the concept flowered, I only became more desperate," Rolston said. "Now we’ve found a way to make it work. And all I have to do is struggle to be worthy of the honor. I have the experience, the ambition, the hunger. Now I simply have to find something new and valuable to add to this inspired game. A delicious, noble, and welcome burden to share with my esteemed colleagues at Hinterland.”

We'll be expanding the Sandbox soon and our goal is to have 5-10x the current world size in place by the time the game launches 'for real'. Depends on how much people like the game, of course!

Interessantissimo!

PS: pensavo che Ken ormai fosse in pensione

>>> ATTENZIONE: LE GIFT KEY DEI 2 PACCHETTI PIÙ COSTOSI SONO PER IL GIOCO COMPLETO, NON DANNO ACCESSO ALL'EARLY ACCESS DEL 22 Settembre. Fonte: http://hinterlandforums.com/viewtopi...lit=gift#p5966

[ulukaii]

Mi sembrava valesse lo stesso discorso anche per le key gift della campagna kickstarter, valevano per il gioco finale, a meno che il badge non includesse esplicitamente una seconda key che valesse anche per alpha/beta.

Quindi essendo la beta coincidente con Early Access di Steam, la cosa è sensata, altrimenti backers che hanno pagato cifre superiori avrebbero tranquillamente potuto aspettare e ottenere gli stessi contenuti (o quasi) pagando molto meno.

[Axios2006]

Mi sa che nonostante nelle gift keys non vi sono diciture su early access o altro, ci saranno non pochi delusi e / o incavolati....

Già c'è gente che si è venduta la gift key a buon prezzo sostenendo che dava accesso al gioco il 22 settembre....

[Darrosquall]

beh è anche giusto così via.

Su questo sono d'accordo, assolutamente.

Ma vuoi mettere gli "incauti" acquirenti che giorno 22 resteranno a bocca asciutta?

Non dico che i developer avevano obbligo anche solo morale di esplicare meglio la cosa, ma conoscendo l'utente medio o casual, giorno 22 steam e forum saranno sommersi di gente incavolata....

[Darrosquall]

hai ragione anche tu, fortuna che ancora non lo avevo preso, anche se l'amico mio mi ha detto che non ci sono problemi eventualmente

diciamo che hanno un po' giocato via, non era per niente chiaro.

Formalmente era chiaro: "game gift key". Non "early access gift key".

Ma come dicevo poco sopra, conoscendo gli utenti, un disclaimer rosso lampeggiante sarebbe stato meglio.....

Anche se poi pochi lo avrebbero notato.

JEN HALE IN SANDBOX MODE! Please help spread the word!!

We’re really excited to share the news that when The Long Dark launches on Steam Early Access this Monday, September 22nd, players will be able to play as a female survivor “persona” with full voice-over from award-winning actress, Jennifer Hale.

Jennifer is best known for her voice work on major titles like the Mass Effect Trilogy (Commander Shepard), Metal Gear Solid 4 (Naomi Hunter), Halo 4 (Commander Sarah Palmer) and BioShock: Infinite (Rosalind Lutece), and has contributed her formidable talents to over 200 game, film, and television projects.

In addition to providing the voice for one of the Survivor personas in The Long Dark’s Survival Sandbox Mode, Jennifer will also play an unannounced major character in the game’s Story mode, to be revealed later this year.

“When the The Long Dark was first announced, I was blown away by the concept and the potential for incredible storytelling and startling challenges in this setting,” says Jennifer. “I’m thrilled to be able to be able to work this incredibly accomplished team that's creating such a stark, beautiful, survival simulation, and can’t wait for the fans to see what we have in store for them in the game’s Story mode.”

Jennifer has a long history of playing strong female characters, and we’re absolutely honoured to have her as part of our talented voice cast, which also includes Mark Meer, Elias Toufexis, and David Hayter.

In fact, as Jen is Canadian-born, a horsewoman, recreational climber, outdoor enthusiast, and emergency preparedness volunteer, the role of a capable survivor stranded in the Northern wilderness comes very naturally to her!

The Long Dark’s Survival Sandbox mode is launching on Steam Early Access on September 22nd. The team at Hinterland already has 12+ months of updates planned in the Roadmap, including ongoing development of the Sandbox mechanics and content, significantly increasing the Sandbox’s size by adding multiple new regions, Oculus Rift support, and of course, the Episodic Story Mode. Early Access players get the Sandbox, updates, and all future “Season One” story content included with their $19.99USD purchase.

Bella e brava, e non sarà l'unica voce "nota" in TLD

Spulciando la community Steam è possibile trovare parecchie info interessanti, tipo questa risposta data ad un utente che chiedeva se saranno inserite braccia e gambe con relative animazioni per l'interazione con l'ambiente:

We'd like to! It's non-trivial for us to get it right due to our gameplay -- the sheer number of interaction types, different clothing, male/female, etc. But we'd really like to!

It's one of the things we'd like to do if our launch on Early Access goes well, and if enough people ask for it. So far, the game hasn't really felt like it was missing anything, but having arms and legs might add to the sense of presence in the setting, which is always good. The trick is to do it well enough that it's not a distraction.
