KickStarter Encased - isometric post-apocalyptic RPG under the dome

[CadmusLabs]

Can you tell us what you were responsible for in D:OS?

Been a part of a design department. There is a group of folks at Larian named "gameplay scripters" - mix of technical and design work - implementing and iterating over high-level ideas to turn them into the moment-to-moment experience for a player (dialogs, quests, encounters, puzzles etc). They are often called "area designers" in other companies. On DOSEE I only touched quest and puzzle design. DOS2 was way more interesting - I worked on the main campaign (quests, combat, puzzles), Arena mode, Game Master mode (in fact I hacked together first ever playable prototype of GM mode) and led and overseered team of designers in Saint-Petersburg part of the studio. These were fun times. Learned a lot of things both from our high command (Swen, Farhang [Design Director], David [Executive Producer], Jan and Sarah [Writing director and lead writer] and from my other good party-members - designers, scripters, and writers. I strongly believe part of this knowledge will condensate inside Encased design and implementation.

Not really, next thing Larian is making is awesome and I love these folks.

Ah that's good to hear I was immediately reminded of Fool's Theory when I looked at your webpage for some reason haha.

Yeah I think this probably will be a common story now and in nearest future, when a bunch of devs, confident and experienced enough, will gather in a party to dare to make something on their own.

Game pitch sounds great btw

Good to hear. The goal is to go slightly further from default nuke post-apoc (and default Russian Fallout role-playing system).

Looking forward to your game.

Btw what's fromg with this Fool's Theory?

Will there be survivalist camping mechanics?

Will there be survivalist camping mechanics?

There will be resting mechanic. The quality and safety of rest depend if you do in the wilds or in the inn or shelter. If you do it in the wilds there are some other modifiers that change the quality of rest and safety again - those which are based on stats and resources you spend on camping preparation.

[Reapa]

exploration is not where you can go but what you can find!

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Hopefully there's a quest to find bones of Gulag victims.

Seriously though, it looks nice.

4 is best in everything.
"4 eyes" aren't really eyes, it's sensors.

Fourth is really the winner.

 

[santino27]

I like #4.

For the Power Armor #4 is the best

6 mainly to distinguish it as non-combatant.
