Sport improvement is flourishing within the Czech Republic, and among the many county’s most notable dev homes are Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 developer Warhorse Studios and truck sim developer SCS Software program. You may not assume these studios have a lot in widespread, however at the same time as Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 reaches large heights, Warhorse continues to be trying to meet up with SCS.
“[SCS Software has] a ginormous, large viewers and very devoted followers,” Warhorse international PR supervisor Tobias Stolz-Zwilling tells GamesRadar+. “And so they have the nicest workplaces right here from all the sport studios. They’ve constructed up their very own Silicon Valley type of factor. We’re not there but. They’ve far more builders than we do. The Czech gaming business is flourishing, and KCD perhaps helps to unfold some love and whatnot, and perhaps inspire some new studios to come back up.”
As Warhorse figures, their similarities with SCS would possibly really transcend their nation of origin. “In Kingdom Come: Deliverance, we attracted fairly lots of people who by no means play video games, which is kind of distinctive,” senior recreation designer Ondřej Bittner says. “It is kind of like Euro Truck Simulator – lots of people who play Euro Truck Simulator do not play different video games. So we work together with lots of people who love historical past, or fencing, or historic martial arts, or no matter, they usually did not have an issue with a lot of the mechanics.”
Bittner is alluding right here to KCD’s extra divisive mechanics, like its restricted save system – one thing gamers who’re coming for the RPG’s grounded historic focus do not appear to thoughts. Equally, I doubt too many individuals are banging down SCS Software program’s door hoping to remodel Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator into high-speed arcade racing video games. It pays to know your area of interest, and unlikely as it might appear that is one thing these two Czech studios have in widespread.
