Глава Owlcat Games: После выхода Baldur's Gate 3 требования к разработчикам CRPG повысятся

Успех Baldur's Gate 3 не прошел незамеченным для других разработчиков CRPG — при желании сохранить позиции в своих нишах им, вероятно, придется тратить больше денег на производство новых игр, чтобы соответствовать детищу Larian Studios, поднявшему планку для жанра, хотя бы в некоторых аспектах. Таким мнением глава Owlcat Games Олег Шпильчевский поделился в подкасте "Пилим, Трём".

The mastermind behind Baldur's Gate 3's popular TikTok account spills his secrets: The sooner you can 'make a character look like Shrek and kick somebody off a cliff' unsupervised, 'the better'

There's a lot that goes behind steering a ship as big as Larian Studios, the indie behind Baldur's Gate 3 (with a team size that goes toe-to-toe with AAA-studios) including running social media accounts on various platforms—such as the bizarre, cryptic, potentially-about-to-be-banned-in-the-US landscape of TikTok...

Astarion's actor was deployed to replace the missing mocap of around 150 lines of Baldur's Gate 3 dialogue: 'I just had this dog's breakfast'

starion is a stand-out performance in Baldur's Gate 3—with his voice actor, Neil Newbon, earning several awards because of his stellar work. That's not to say he outshines anyone (the game is filled with incredible performances) but in my mind, Astarion is special because of the sheer variety of emotion he portrays, which is as much a product of the game's writing as it is Neil Newbon's exceptional acting chops...

Should Baldur's Gate 3 and Vampire Survivors do a crossover? Seems like a leading question to me

Do you like Baldur's Gate 3? Do you also like Vampire Survivors? Well, Larian’s CEO has brought up the idea of a crossover between the two, via a poll that I think is a bit disgraceful as far as polls go.

Yup, now that the studio’s stopped poor BG3 Dark Urge players from being unceremoniously dumped by Minthara whenever they decide to, you know, stop being quite so evil, it seems like it’s full steam ahead on what’s next, which could be a fun collab. Or, you know, maybe Swen Vincke just wanted to cheekily tell us he’s hanging out with some cool people.

Ok, so what’s happened is this. Vincke posted a twitter poll asking “Should Baldur’s Gate 3 and Vampire Survivors collaborate?”, and followed it up shortly afterwards with a nice picture of him and Geo Morgan, Poncle's lead partnership manager, just chilling and giving a nice thumbs up. So far, so very ‘this is a thing, I guess, and maybe it’ll actually lead to something’, right?
