Hey everybody! I’m Diego Ordoñez, a lead programmer at Rubber Duck Video games. Our humor-filled motion RPG Evil Wizard is out now on Xbox Sequence X|S and Xbox One and I needed to provide you a behind-the-scenes have a look at the sport and the way it got here to be!
The Starting
When beginning to work on Evil Wizard, I needed to create a sport that had humor and humorous moments all through the sport. Moreover, I at all times felt very intrigued by characters that use magic like mages and wizards. The idea of magic is nice from a story perspective as a result of it permits the designer to create the principles wanted for the gameplay or story to make sense. Lastly, I needed to have a hook, one thing revolutionary I may use to shut every little thing collectively. I made a decision to go along with a twist and inform the story about what occurs to a last boss after he’s been defeated. This setting gave me the chance to discover humor differently. Each gamer has performed a sport by which the protagonist is a hero and has to defeat an evil wizard. Due to this, I felt gamers would instantly comprehend the setting of the sport and the context of the story.
Discovering the Humor
As soon as the setting was fleshed out, I began writing jokes within the type of dialogues between the characters. These may be discovered all through your complete sport. The Evil Wizard makes enjoyable of the NPCs, enemies chat with different enemies in humorous cinematics, and there are cases when the Evil Wizard talks instantly with the participant. Breaking the fourth wall was at all times fascinating to me and the online game medium affords a really distinctive approach to do that for the reason that participant is controlling the protagonist.
As we began manufacturing, we discovered humor in different components of the sport along with dialogue. Ruben Gómez was accountable for the aesthetics of the sport and he occurs to be a really humorous man as properly. He carried out loads of humorous moments all through the sport within the type of environmental artwork and collectables. These may be present in virtually each degree within the sport, like having hanging underwear on the roof of the fortress, work of the Evil Wizard with popular culture characters, and loads of rubber duck collectables referencing popular culture characters that we all know and love.
Moreover Pablo Pérez, our pixel artwork animator, did an exquisite job of making humorous animations with enemies and NPCs. These are all over the place, from the idea artwork (like a chef that assaults by swinging a frying pan with pink sizzling chili peppers) to the best way most enemies die.
However What About Motion?
When creating Evil Wizard, we knew we wanted to provide gamers an excellent motion RPG that complemented the humor and setting of the sport. We needed to develop an excellent fight system and exploration design for the gamers that didn’t discover Evil Wizard very humorous. We began by making fight a centerpiece of the sport. That is one other pillar of the sport and comes within the type of large bosses, non-obligatory mini-bosses, a really broad system of spells and parts, and melee fight with threat and reward techniques. Taking inspiration from different motion RPGs and metroidvanias, we made your complete world an intertwined fortress of various rooms that the participant must discover to succeed in the ultimate degree. We crammed the degrees with secrets and techniques, puzzles, random fight encounters, and humorous cinematics to stability the expertise between fight, exploration, and humor. Gonzalo Banki Martínez, our producer, managed many of the preliminary design of the fortress rooms. Every room has a setting; the fortress patio, the armory, the lab, the dungeon, and extra. We made a number of connections between these rooms so gamers can discover secrets and techniques whereas exploring and defeat non-obligatory mini-bosses which are hidden all through the map.
