The Gaming Ground recently had an opportunity to chat with Dejan Radisic, the main developer behind Stygian Software’s post-apocalyptic RPG Underrail. The resulting interview touches on such topics like Underrail’s development and inspirations, Stygian Software’s future plans, and shares some general game development advice. For example:
Nenad
What was your biggest inspiration for “Underrrail”? A lot of people compare it to “Fallout” 1 and 2, do you agree with this?
Dejan
Fallout, besides the similarities to turn-based combat, mostly inspired the art style. Concerning the game mechanics, most of the influence came from System Shock 2 and Neverwinter Nights.
Nenad
What was your biggest challenge during the development of the game?
Dejan
Probably the isometric rendering. Specifically, aligning objects in a way that their overlapping makes sense. In theory, this is simple, but when objects of different sizes and purposes appear on the screen, this can create quite a few problems.
