- Data development and usability has come so far that it is not as challenging anymore.
He is optimistic to get funded game through since "Kickstarter", as there are so many who dare to initiate the production of a game in just the genre they are doing, because it is such a big job.
- It's an RPG, where you can walk around and explore the world, talking to people, and in addition there are some matches. The surroundings are hand-painted, and the game is based on board games, thus it is a dice system, he explains.
He has mixed in various cultures, including Norse and Bulgarian mythology, as well as fantasy, monsters and inspiration from 16-1700 century.
Voice Actors are also hired, and here Marius even got hold of Udo Kier, who has appeared in several Hollywood films, and is known from Blade and Ace Ventura.
The game will be posted on Kickstarter February 1, and is then also open for advance bookings.
- The plan is to be fully completed in February next year, says Magnus.
