"Besingabangani ababili nje enyuvesi," kusho umsunguli weFallen Flag Studio uJonathan Costantini. "Besifuna ukuqhamuka nomdlalo okahle esingasebenza kuwo njengento yokuzilibazisa ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngokuhlangana nabadlali, ukuchayeka, noma ukuncintisana."
Cishe unesithombe ekhanda lakho uma ucabanga ngeqembu le-dev lomdlalo wokuqala - abangani abanekhono egaraji labo abazungeza izindonga zekhodi ukuze bakhe uhambo olusha oluphoqelelayo olusekelwe ezithandweni zabo. Benza umdlalo onjalo cishe. Kulokhu, bekuyi-duo yase-Italy u-Costantini no-Franceso Barsotti behlonipha - ngokumangazayo - Imimoya Emnyama.
U-Costantini no-Barsotti bayakukhathalela ukuthuthukiswa kwegeyimu futhi bebemagange ukungena phakathi. Lapho ekugcineni bethula igeyimu yabo emhlabeni, yasakazeka emphakathini we-Souls. Abadlali bebejabulele ukubuka le-indie enzima efakwe njenge-souls-like-nails-like. Bekunomphetho kukho ukuthi abaningi bakuthola kukhanga ngenkathi futhi bephethe umthamo wabo owengeziwe we-charisma ngenxa yemvelo yayo enobuntu, ehlangene. Amadev amathathu nje ayengemuva kwayo, phela.
“Emuva lapho sinombono wokuqala Wemiphefumulo Emidala, sasingenayo imithwalo yemfanelo noma imikhawulo,” kungitshela uCostantini. “Ngicabanga ukuthi sibe nenhlanhla enkulu ngokuthi umdlalo wethu omuhle okufanele siwusebenzele ushaye into ecokeme nabadlali abajabulele imidlalo efanayo neyethu.
“Siqale singabafundi ababili basenyuvesi sinenqwaba yemibono kodwa singenalwazi nhlobo. Sifunde inqwaba, sahlangana futhi sasebenza nenani elimangalisayo labantu abanamakhono nabaqhutshwa umoya, futhi ekugcineni, sabona umbono wethu womdlalo ongcono kakhulu esingasebenza kuwo. Ngicabanga ukuthi sinomthwalo omningi ezimpilweni zethu manje uma siqhathaniswa nesikhathi esaqala ngaso, kodwa futhi nomsebenzi omningi onenjongo kanye nesasasa. Sisashaqekile kusukela ngosuku lokukhishwa - kube nenani elikhulu kangaka lempendulo eyakhayo nokusekelwa kwabadlali. Ngisho nabasakazi bethu esibathandayo besikhathi sonke bebedlala lo mdlalo. Besidinga isikhathi ukuze sikucubungule konke.”
Imidlalo yesimanje igcwele ukuthandwa kwe-Souls, nakuba kaningi ingenamphefumulo ngendlela exakayo. Ukuqala kwe-Fallen Flag Studio kuyaqikelela ukuthi kugwenywe lokho, kusetshenziswa ifomula ye-FromSoft nokuyisebenzisa ohlotsheni lwe-boss rush, kufinyelelisa okujabulisayo kwe-octane ephezulu kube okuhlangenwe nakho okuhlelwa kakhudlwana.
"Umncintiswano awukaze ube mkhulu," kusho uCostantini. “Okungenani singajabula ngokuthi sikhulule ngaphambi kuka-Elden Ring. Ngicabanga ukuthi kuhambe kahle kithina. I-Eldest Souls igxile kakhulu ezimpini zabaphathi ezinzima, eziyinselele, futhi ngicabanga ukuthi sizizalele eyethu indawo emakethe.
“Ngavele ngashaywa uvalo uma ngizwa Umnyango Wokufa ikhipha isonto nje ngaphambi kwethu. Ngingumlandeli omkhulu we-Titan Souls [evela kunjiniyela ofanayo], kodwa ngamangala lapho ngiqaphela ukuthi base besukile ezimpandeni zabo zokuxhamazela, benza okuhlangenwe nakho okuhle okufana noZelda, kodwa ngasikhathi sinye, ehluke kakhulu kune-boss-centric Oldest Souls yethu. I-saga ye-Souls yaba ugqozi olukhulu kodwa kwaba njalo u-Furi kanye ne-Titan Souls - basinike ukuzethemba kokungena ngokuphelele emcabangweni wokuba umphathi kuphela. Siphinde sadlala ithani lama-RPG nama-MMO afana I-Final Fantasy i-14 futhi saze sagcina sethula omakhenikha abafana ne-MMO ezimpini zabaphathi bethu.”
“Singathanda ukwanda ku-Eldest Souls, noma ngabe nge-DLC noma ama-sequels uma umdlalo uqhubeka wenza kahle futhi ugcina okulandelayo. Kodwa-ke, sizophinde sijabule kakhulu ukuqala kabusha ngazo zonke izifundo esizitholile lapho siqala iphrojekthi entsha. "
