It all has started with an assessment of our capabilities and there were not too many of them. All of our team has entered game development from different directions of IT. Most of us have a lot of experience there. But none of the team could boast of experience in the gaming development.
The first thing that must be decided is what game genre should we abandoned. We don't wanna make another cyberpunk (the Poles are about to shoot) and we don't wanna go zombie (there are too many of them). Sci-Fi, for all its appeal, required unique solutions to stand out among other indie and big projects. One of the artists started to drown the topic by raising a question to rest of the team: Can you name Dieselpunk setting games? How many of them you'll remember? This is how the first project point has appeared.
Our souls has told us besides the dieselpunk, we need something else, an additional layer of setting that will expand our story, visuals and more. That's it...sumerian mythology is a mysterious and compelling topic and has become our flip side of the coin. An alternative development of history has been accepted without any hesitations as the basis of the world, where tSumerian civilization didn't disappear, but evolved into a powerful industrial machine.
Erra: Exordium has found it's face as an Adventure based on Sumerian mythology and spiced with a Dieselpunk setting. Sounds cool to us. So we hope to see more feedback from ya. It's most impressive to receive some excited comments from ya. Each time when you're showing us your support, it helps us to continue. To go further and beyond.
And finally ... The project is already several years old and we are on the home stretch. How long this straight line will last is hard to answer. We will try to tell you a lot more interesting things soon. If you want to learn more about our project: Twitter.com/ErraTheGame Thanks for attention Fair Pixel, End of Transmission.
