This project is an interview with the developer of the new indie game that you are interested in. This time, we will provide a mini-interlocated mini-interlock to the developer Beneath Ores, a rogue-like deck builder, which has started early access to BROKEN SPEAR development On november 4 for PCs.
This work is a rogue-like deck builder influenced by Slay The Spire. While strategically selecting cards, upgrades, and artifacts, we will continue to fight while keeping the distance to the enemy. It features a powerful battle scene. It has already been supported in Japanese.
Beneath ORES is being distributed early for 2,570 yen.
―― First, please introduce yourself. What is your favorite game?
Renamed Barrens (Renamed) Hello, this is Renamed Barrens, the game designer of this work. My favorite game is… too many interesting games (laughs). Here, let’s say the City Relation series.
――Why did the development of this work begin?
Renamed I wanted to work on a project with my friends after working for years. We had already experienced more than 10 years, so we wanted to share it with the community.
――Please tell us the characteristics of this work.
Renamed Rogue Deck Builder Games usually have side views on the battle screen and almost no animation. This work is characteristic in that point. The player actually fights.
――What kind of person do you want this work to play?
I would like you to play with all card games lovers. However, players who have never been attractive to card games before will enjoy visuals like the strategy of this work and the real battle.
――What is the early access planned? What elements will be added in the future?
Renamed early access will end in April 2023. It is a plan to add many elements in the future. Details can be found on the Steam page, but the most important is the addition of new factions and new characters. We plan to add a lot of types and high replay properties.
――Please tell us what you have released as early access.
RENAMED The community of this work is wonderful, and players have helped to improve this work. The feedback that arrives is priceless and is really honored to be able to welcome them. It may seem like a common answer that anyone can do, but believe it. For a small company, getting a lot of wonderful and constructive feedback is really important, and it helps when making various decisions and design.
――Are there any works influenced by this work?
Renamed, of course. It is influenced by games such as Slay The Spire, MONSTER TRAIN, and Full Moon Night. In addition, there are also card games such as Dominion and ASCENSION that I played as a child. Visual artists are inspired by French comics and French artists like French comics.
――Was it affected by the development of the new Coronavirus?
Renamed was not so much. We were a small development team that only seven people were active, so our management was very easy. Currently, we all work remotely and everything is going smoothly.
――Is it okay to distribute or monetize this work?
Renamed, of course! It is an honor to see Japanese people playing this work and enjoying it.
―― Finally, please give a message to Japanese readers.
RENAMED I love Japanese culture for a long time since I met Audio Minima’s book. Thousands of years have passed, and I am really honored to be able to deliver this work that was influenced by French culture.
–thank you very much.
