Oh boy, that customization. Then again Spiders had that for couple of games now and kept building it up. I remember Bound by Flame had surprising amount of fiddling with weapons and armor.

so was technomancer.

Every piece of equipment (maybe not accessory like gloves, but weapons and armors definitely do) have something to tweak that affect stat and appearances.

This will be the next ELEX.

"...how the smallest decision, such as who you add to your party at a particular time, can come back to bit you ten hours later".

Yeah, I've heard this many times before and it's always been "One or two little things added in to show we're technically correct in claiming that, but it wasn't as common or as important as we implied it would be."

Looks like boring popamole.

pre-ordered just in case epic fucks up everything again.

I'm excited for this but a little apprehensive. Hope it's not just more eurojank. If it's at least as good as ELEX i'd be happy.

This will be the next ELEX.

I wish and maybe it will in terms of reception, but I think Spiders RPGs definitely fall more under "we want that Bioware audience with fraction of the budget".

Don't know what they want to be but their combat is challenging like a PB game. I like all their games the same way i like all PB games.

The store page says it comes out in October instead of September. Is that a delay or a time zone difference.

You mean the Steam store page? I'm seeing September.

It might be a timezone thing if it's set to September 30th under the hood.

Which waifu is Jehanne self insert?

It looks like she is mostly manifest in the native companion you get.

Waifus aside, it looks like this'll be the first Spiders game I

Looks good.

Once you set off from the Old Continent, your first stop on the Island of Teer Fradee will be New Serene.

This colony, governed by your cousin Constantin, is the first step of an epic journey full of secrets, intrigue and magic.

I really like the sounds of how they set a foundation of fostering a creative environment by compiling a library of sources before even starting the project in earnest.

Also like how more of a focus on exploration over their other games is emphasized.

GreedFall Devblog – The Birth of A New Universe


Hi everyone,

We are delighted to kick off a series of articles unveiling more details about the making of GreedFall today – a one-of-a-kind RPG by Spiders, coming to Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC on September 10.

We’re taking a look at this new world, specially created for GreedFall, with Jehanne Rousseau, Lead Writer and CEO at Spiders, as well as Cyril Tahmassebi, Artistic Director, and Camille Lallement, Lead Cinematic Artist.

How GreedFall came to life


The need to confront new challenges in a distinct universe impassioned the team, inspiring Spiders to dream up a unique concept and naturally leading to the creation of GreedFall. CEO and Lead Writer Jehanne Rousseau set out to create a more fantasy-based universe, totally distinct from the arid Dunes of Mars.

For GreedFall, Spiders delved into vast, open-air environments, forests, and lush greenery while avoiding the cliches of the classic medieval fantasy setting. The team also wished to highlight exploration even more than in previous titles. Taking inspiration from the 17th century, particularly baroque artwork, seemed fitting as an answer to both criteria.

The natural next step was to seek new reference materials to gain inspiration from; from artwork to literature. The team quickly built a library of material and references that resonated with the project, from which to stimulate imagination and creativity. This is really how the world of GreedFall came to life.

Spiders' inspirations for GreedFall
Countless books, movies and tv shows were studied by the whole team to create this new universe! Camille Lallement, Lead Cinematic Artist, also claims the team wanted to explore current issues, as well as some older ones that we may otherwise like to collectively forget. Key inspirations include the Miyazaki classic Princess Mononoke. The animated film was one of the first references when designing the natives living on the Island of Teer Fradee. It also pushed the team to start considering ecology as one of the native’s greatest motives.



Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) was also a great inspiration for the general aesthetic, particularly the rich variety of outfits and equipment. Of course, modern shows such as Game of Thrones also provided some inspiration regarding political intrigue and complex diplomacy, even if that specific setting is very different in tone and environment.

Swashbuckling adventures were a fantastic source of inspiration in terms of narrative for Jehanne, especially those written by Dumas (The Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After, The Vicomte de Bragelotte). Historical events were also instrumental in building GreedFall’s world and narrative - Jehanne even read a book written under Louis XIV’s reign, about the contemporary Navy in order to find specific terms and understand how specific aspects of navigation evolved over time.


Artistic Director Cyril Tahmassebi lists sources of inspiration dating back to the 17th century art. Rembrandt, Jan Steen, Frans Hals, Vermeer and even the Chiaroscuro technique of contrasting light and darkness were vital references when creating GreedFall’s visuals. The architecture, costumes, ornaments, lighting, objects, textures, atmosphere from this time all inspired the art team at Spiders.

Stay tuned for more insights about the development of GreedFall in our next articles! GreedFall releases on September 10 on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC.http://greedfall.com/

To be honest, this kind of semi-historical game Sawyer would do.
