Behind the scenes

“

Elms' Reach was first called Twin Elms in honor of the giant trees that give this glanfathan city its name. The area was laid out by Bobby Null, the lead designer of the team, and Hector Espinosa, our lead environment artist, did an amazing job with the 3D render and bringing it to life.

At its bottom right corner, you'll notice perhaps a cool archway made by roots from one of the elms. This led to an area that we had to cut, a mystical forest called the Weald of Fates where you'd be sent to speak with the ancestor stones, a collection of souls of glanfathan leaders, whose wisdom is revered by the tribes. The catch was of course that you could only do so by ingesting hallucinogenic mushrooms that would lead your "vision quest" towards its stones. The realities of game development sometimes result in awesome things like this having to get cut so that you can focus polish into something else, some other areas of the game. The lesson for aspiring designers is: structure areas, stories, and quests in a modular way so that you can, if need be, take things out without affecting other aspects of the game.
