We’ve postponed it many instances, however, wanting exterior from the window and witnessing such unstable instances, we determined that it’s time to come back out of the shadows and discuss what we’re engaged on. Introducing stealth motion indie sport—Legacy 1917.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN . . .

The first idea of the sport appeared in 2019. Our story takes place in a fictional Empire which is being destroyed by ongoing struggle with a neighbor and inside political battle. The sport differs from most war-themed video video games by specializing in the stealth expertise fairly than standard fight. Violence and chaos guidelines all around the dying Empire. While engaged on the sport state of affairs, we had been impressed by the historic occasions of the start of twentieth Century. We determined to keep away from direct historic references however we had been positively impressed by actual occasions.

The begin of improvement was, to place it mildly, removed from ideally suited, however inside a couple of months we discovered individuals who preferred the thought. This is how the Bear Smile crew was born.

At this level, prototypes and idea artwork started coming out proper out of the oven. Here are some super-early stage ideas and gameplay video:

Very early prototype

Further improvement and new concepts led to a radical change within the gameplay and a deep remodeling of the state of affairs. At some level, solely the title of the protagonist and the setting remained. At the start of 2020, the ultimate idea was aligned and we started to maneuver step-by-step in the direction of the discharge.

2022 and the field of candies

When we launched our mission we knew that the setting is unique — there are only a few profitable and high-quality indie video games in related settings. And this created fairly comprehensible challenges for mission promotion. But we couldn’t count on the hellstorm on the finish of winter 2022.

Geopolitics hit us like a high-speed practice a sleeping fowl. But we pulled ourselves collectively and determined that it might not be the tip. Our sport is telling a narrative in regards to the insanity of revolution, in regards to the selections of individuals to remain good even throughout probably the most nightmarish instances, about the truth that one can at all times deny violence and to not succumb to the gang’s brainwashing. And we intend to inform the world our story.

What is Legacy 1917 about?

At the middle of the story is a battle between two brothers: the youthful brother joins the anarchists and renounces his standing and household whereas his older brother, Peter, serves as an officer within the Imperial Army. The revolution finds him within the trenches of the struggle. He nonetheless believes in a brighter future — even when his youthful brother, succumbing to new traits, commits atrocities. Making his approach by means of this new actuality, which till just lately appeared unimaginable, Peter is on a journey residence attempting to guard others from his brother’s insanity.

Game Features

During improvement, we’re impressed by such traditional indie blockbusters as Plague Tale: Innocence, Death’s Door and Commandos, however on the identical time we create our personal distinctive model and concepts:

– Hide in multilevel environments, use objects to distract and confuse enemies, clear up puzzles by analyzing one’s environment.

– Explore varied areas and work together with NPCs who’s distinctive tales add to the immersive setting of the journey.

– This grim post-war setting depicting actual areas turns into an ideal platform to inform the story of the rivalling brothers and the individuals who had been seeking to rebuild their lives following a conflict of epochs.
