We’ve postponed it many occasions, however, trying exterior from the window and witnessing such unstable occasions, 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 sport differs from most war-themed video video games by specializing in the stealth expertise relatively than typical fight. Violence and chaos guidelines all around the dying Empire. While engaged on the sport state of affairs, we have been impressed by the historic occasions of the start of twentieth Century. We determined to keep away from direct historic references however we have been positively impressed by actual occasions.

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:

Further growth 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 goodies

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 anticipate the hellstorm on the finish of winter 2022.

Geopolitics hit us like a high-speed prepare a sleeping chicken. But we pulled ourselves collectively and determined that it might not be the tip. Our sport is telling a narrative concerning the insanity of revolution, concerning the decisions of individuals to remain good even throughout essentially the most nightmarish occasions, 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.
