In part two of our conversation with Nic Tringali, we go deeper into their development process. Design and prototyping, testing, setting victory conditions, and the delightful old-school addition to the game: the manual.
00:00:00 - Theme - how did the look come together? Concept of cathedrals stretching through time.
00:04:20 - Worldbuilding, problems with history
00:07:00 - Dramatic play, victory conditions. Surviving to tell a story, rather than survival as an inherently interesting goal.
00:17:40 - Development: transitioning from John Wick: Hex and Arcsmith, managing stress.
00:26:17 - Design and prototyping, planning features, play testing, development timeline
00:41:10 - The manual: The Banished Vault has an accompanying manual in the old style, the kind that used to ship with every game. What was the thinking behind this?
