AVOWED was first developed as Skyrim from Obsidian, developers admit

AVOWED is often compared with The Elder Scrolls 5, then as a spiritual heir, then as a version of Skyrim “on steroids”. Well, it seems that there is a grain of truth in this. After the presentation of the Xbox Games Showcase, the developers from Obsidian told some background, among which, just, the desire to create RPG on the same cast as the last chapter TES, but with some differences.

This was told by Fergus Urkhart, General Director of Obsidian.

“In fact, it was a pitch, our version of Skyrim. So, at least in the beginning it was an idea. Then it turned into something else. We thought about it. Bethesda perfectly coped with her Skyrim. Mojang with its minecraft. Turn10 with her racing games. What makes us special? Our RPG, right?”.

According to the general director, the stronger side of Obsidian is the narrative. To avowed “The Outer Worlds is the last and best example of this ability. As well as Pillars, which was not linear, and its continuation of Pillars of Eternity 2, which was even less linear“, Says Urkhart. Avowed, he explains, will pay a lot of attention to the interweaving of the stories of our adventurers with our stories and with the history of the world that surrounds all the characters.

“We could make a map of 8 km x 8 km, and then deal with the consequences that are associated with it. But this would mean the creation of a completely different type of gameplay and game, and we want to create more “intimate” stories that gamers can enjoy ”.

The words of the CEO are echoing with the words of Carrie Patel, Director of AVOWED:

“I think that the real strength of Obisidian in creating its role -playing games is the ability to create its own worlds, deep stories and write missions that reward an experimental and nonlinear approach. This really makes the players feel an active part of this world. “.

AVOWED is expected on Xbox Series X, Series S, PC in Steam and on the first day on Game Pass. The release date is still unknown, but expected in 2024.

UBOAT authors revealed several details about the upcoming update

The Polish studio Deep Water announced what attractions we can expect in the next UBOAT game update.

  • The greatest news will be the addition of TDC – an element that fans asked the most. Under this abbreviation, Torpedo Data Computer is hidden – an electromechanical calculator, which was responsible for calculating the angle of deviation of the torpedo gyroscope and some other attack parameters. The use of this element will be completely optional, so the authors could afford to strive for maximum realism in its implementation.
  • The update also means that now we will not always receive accurate information about the depth on the map. We will receive such data only near the ports, since Kriegsmarin had detailed maps of the area around them. In the rest of the regions, you will have to deal with a significant error and rely on an echo sounder, which, incidentally, will be significantly improved in this update.
  • The crew journal will be added to the patce, as well as the simulation of the diesel engine (in particular, the exhaust gas temperature will now be taken into account).
  • In addition, the update will make numerous improvements to the FPP mode.

At the same time, the authors thanked the developers of TDC fashion, whose work greatly facilitated the introduction of this function into the official version. The developers are also grateful to other fans such as Stosstrupp, Decafbad and Melonir, which they helped with various aspects of update. Machkek Florere, the author of the best online collection of TDC, with which the authors cooperated in the early stages of production, has also been mentioned in 2017.

Recall that Uboat debuted in early access Steam on April 30, 2019. Currently, the game is available only on a PC, but in the future it is planned to release Nintendo Switch. The project received a warm welcome – in Steam it has 81% of positive reviews.
