Újsághír:
Ismét hírt adott magáról a ROTTENBODY kelet-európai fejlesztőcsapat, akik egykor nagy port felvert játékprojektjét már elveszettnek hittük. Ramses Einhorn, a fődesigner rövid interjút adott a három éve fejlesztett döglöttállat-szimulátorról.
- Is there at least a final title now, after so many years of waiting?
- Hello, there, first of all I'd like to thank you for all your patient enthusiasm. I can say, the gamers haven't waited in vain. The final title is Green Horse, and we are finished quite a lot of things. Some polishing and adding details is still in progress but the game is about 85% ready.
- Basically what is the gameplay like? How could you describe a mission in the game? Will there be a multiplayer option?
- Well, the gametype is a curious mix of RTS and RPG: of course it's mainly about lying around on a field or on the road, as dead animals generally do, but we added some smart twists to the plot, these are real fun, I myself have also played with the beta, and spent nights fighting against Brad Zeller, leading programmer, who chose to be a drowned monkey in a lake and gave me hell in some of the multiplayer missions.
- Tell me something about the graphical engine.
- Now that is something I am not allowed to talk about (laughs). As you know, at the beginning we planned to use the Unreal II engine but as time passed we developed our own engine, the ZOMB, which is full of stunning details, shaders, filters and the like.
- What about the recommended configuration for Green Horse?
- I have some good news: since the game is not really full of motions and fast things, we could optimize it even for low-end computers. There will be numerous setting possibilities, and with everything set to very high it looks awesome, and the thing still runs smoothly on a PIII 1200Mhz with an old GeForce 4.
- Are you planning an add-on for the future?
- There are always things, good ideas, that we cannot put in a game, in lack of time and resources: I dare say some of these will certainly appear in an add-on in the next half year.
- When will Green Horse go gold?
- At the end of next month you can put your hands on the game!
- Thank you and keep up the good work, Ramses!
