Dear Adventurers!

This entry to our Dev Diary series takes you to the roots of the game design and level building of Operencia: The Stolen Sun. Expect a lot of never-before-seen early development footage in this one!

At 0:22 - 0:55 Lead Designer Ferenc Nagy-Szakáll shares his first sketches of the grid-based levels. And at 6:15, he expresses his fear of artists building 3D topography of the 2D maps he designed. (It worked out in the end!)



Starting at the 2:06 mark, 3D Artists Tamas Csige and Csaba Vekony give you the scoop on how they created living, breathing levels out of concept art, plus taking a tile-based movement system out of the dungeon and expanding it to the great outdoors, under an open sky.



We are just a few weeks away from Operencia releasing on Steam. On March 31, step into our world of magic, fantasy rat soldiers, frog kings, warriors, thieves, castle builders, copper automatons, and mask-wearing burly men in fur.

Üdv mindenki!
Hi Everyone!

We are getting closer to the release on March 31, perfect time to tell you a LOT MORE about the combat system, puzzles and crafting in the game. Check the video above.

• Lead Designer Ferenc Nagy-Szakall kicks our video off by explaining the four main elements of Operencia, Puzzles and Combat being at its core.

• Game Designer Andras Klujber reveals a few games – some classic masterpieces for sure – that were used to inspire the unique turn-based combat system found in Operencia.

• Also, QA Technician Gergely Drobina reveals some challenges the team faced when trying to find the perfect balance of difficulty within the game.

• Finally, Game Designer/Writer Oliver Sandor shares the irony of how the puzzles he designed to be the simplest, turned out to be the most difficult for others to solve and gives you the inside scoop of who to blame if you find it difficult to conjure up all the potions at the crafting table.

You may have already marked it on your calendar, but we can’t wait for you to experience Operencia: The Stolen Sun coming March 31.
