Hello there,
We will start with the answers to the FAQ.
q1. Is it based on the movie "Thing"?
a1. No, it is not. The game is inspired by movies and the book "Who goes there?" by John W. Campbell.
q2. What engine are you using?
a2. We are using Unity.
q3. Is this game out yet?
a3. When we released the trailer, we were halfway to go. It may sound great, but we were doing it in our spare time, so the quality wasn't great. Now we have a publisher and more time and possibilities, so we must rework almost everything to make Buried in Ice a good game.
Now let's proceed to a summary of the interview we were part of on the NoLifeBoys stream. Some of the questions were answered in the FAQ.
q1. Which horror movie is your favourite?
a1. I don't have a single one. My favourites are "Alien", "Aliens", "Alien 3" and "Thing" 1982.
q2. Why did you choose "Thing" as inspiration?
a2. Because it's a great movie and there aren't many games with that kind of theme, or at least I don't know them.
q3. Graphics or story? Which is more important?
a3. There is no easy answer. Why? Because graphics can greatly improve immersion. Without a good story, immersion will not exist at all, at least for me.
q4. How long it takes to make a game?
a4. It highly depends on how much money you have. Basically, more money means more time (not always). More time means less cut content/more implemented ideas. It also means the game can be more polished.
q5. What player have to do to survive?
a5. It's pretty cold in Antarctica. You better wear your clothes. What more? Do not hug the enemy.
q6. How many hours will it take to finish the game?
a6. I can't answer that.
That should be it for the summary. In the next Devlog, there will be more about the game.
