How many characters will Warlands have? we’ll tell you

Actually today we have set a little trap. It is true that we are going to talk about the characters we have in Warlands (we will even give you a hint of how many there are and how many there will be) but what we really want to talk about is the importance we are going to give to the art in the game.

Why do we give importance to the art in the game?

The first thing you should keep in mind is that the fact that we are talking about art in the game is very good news. We have already made so much progress in other areas of the development that, fortunately, we can’t begin to allow us to value aspects such as art, story, etc. in more depth. In a previous article we told you, for example, about the Warlands Lore.

Just think that we have been developing the game for almost two years. In these two years we have been able to move forward with a project based, fundamentally, on our own resources, we have grown as a team exponentially to almost 80 people, and we have also reached important collaboration agreements.

That is to say, we have worked developing a videogame: and we already have the base of the gameplay more than developed. So, taking into account the videogame, we can afford to evaluate the art and where we want to take our ingame image.

The toonish aesthetic

The choice of this aesthetic very close to cartoom was not made by chance. First of all, we took into account that it helped them a lot in terms of game optimization. But, at the same time, we really liked the image model generated by both the environments and the characters.

Of course, it took us a while to start to better define the aesthetics of the characters. Keep in mind that we were coming from a totally different model based on the concepts of console characters.

And we got to the part that gave the name to this article: How many characters does Warlands have? We already told you that we were going to cheat a bit, currently, we will tell you that we already have more than six but less than 10. Try by yourself to find out the number. However, this is only the beginning.

In fact, the idea in the future is to incorporate different lines of characters. All these characters will be directly related to the story of the game and its development. Think that our Lore will not be static, on the contrary, it will evolve as the project evolves and will allow us to make very powerful stories, directly related to the game, but, also, to be inserted in other projects or even in the face-to-face world. But this is another story.
