This is a kind of “psychogeographic RPG”.
There’s a new studio in the UK called Long awaited. Created by developers with experience working in teams FORUM, Rockstar or Bangui. For example, he worked as a narrative director at the latter company. Grant Robertslater also narrative director for Splash Damage or writer for Rocksteady.
The team is currently very small, about twelve people. In the case of former developers of the Estonian studio FORUM behind the blow Disco Elysium Apparently, they are not direct participants in the complex case, although we do not know the specific names. The most resonant characters in the controversy are already employed in other companies, coincidentally also in the recently formed Dark Math Games team.
We focus on innovation and progress, not imitation.
Longdue is based on his work on Disco Elysium, but he clearly doesn’t want to copy it. “Longdue is an independent organization with its own vision, and that is very important. Of course, the studio is inspired by the ideals of the projects. [týmu ZA/UM] – with smart storytelling, psychological depth and solid world-building – but our focus is on innovation and progress, not imitation,” explains the investor and chairman. Riaz Mula.
The game Longdue has in mind remains a mystery at this point. The game aims to “explore the subtle interactions between the conscious and subconscious, the visible and the invisible,” and will use a sort of “psychogeographic role-playing game” mechanic that will transform the world and characters based on the player’s decisions.
“Every decision and thought process leaves a mark not only on the characters, but on the world around them. The line between the character you play as and the environment you move through blurs, creating an experience where the two are deeply intertwined. It’s a pretty abstract idea, but we’re really excited to develop it and see what happens,” explains Mula.
