The Rise of Welsh Accents In Video Games Is Beautiful And Needs To Continue

It’s always nice to see different countries and cultures represented in video games, with that in mind there’s been a rather understated trend in fantasy video games of giving characters Welsh accents.

It’s great and shows that there’s far more to Wales and Welsh culture than jokes about humping sheep.

Nia and Mio

The trend really started with the introduction of everyone’s favorite angry Welsh Cat girl, Nia, voiced by Catrin-Mai Huw from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Her adorable personality mixed with the promise to “Bash you up proper next time I sweeer!” quickly endeared her to fans, even those that aren’t the biggest fans of English dubs.

Nintendo and Monolith Soft obviously recognized the untapped raw power of the Welsh Cat Girl because Xenoblade Chronicles 3 would introduce Mio, not only another Cymraeg-accented feline but the main heroine of the game.

While not quite as tsundere as Nia and faces hefty competition for Best Girl from the rowdy cockney bird lady Eunie, Mio remains one of the most endearing parts of the game. Within Xenoblade’s world, she’s a child soldier with only three months more to live, choosing to use it to uncover the secrets of a never-ending war. She also has the ability to turn into a Robot Angry Welsh Cat Girl. It’s great.
Ranni The Witch

Of course, it’s not just cat girls sporting the language of song, as the ever-popular Elden Ring has introduced a number of characters with authentic Welsh accents. The most notable of these is the enchanting Witch Ranni.
This petite spellcaster is heavily intertwined into Elden Ring’s lore and while you don’t have to speak with her once throughout your playthrough, her side quest is more than worth the undertaking. It’s one of the most involved in the game allowing you to meet multiple important characters, and you also get the chance to hear her call you “My Dear”.
Another nice thing about seeing video game characters with Welsh Accents is that they show the talent of Welsh voice actors. Ranni and Mio are actually voiced by the same Welsh actress Aimee-Ffion Edwards (known for her Television roles on Skins and Peeky Blinders). Between the emotional highs of Mio and the ethereal whispers of Ranni, she can certainly play a wide and captivating range of characters.
Blaidd

Furthermore, many of Ranni’s servants also speak in a Welsh accent, most notably the half-wolf swordsman Blaidd (a word that literally means ‘Wolf’ in Welsh), voiced by Scott Arthur.
While most werewolves or wolfmen tend to speak to feral growling voices, Arthur gives Blaidd the voice of a dignified gentle-wolfman, or at least as gentle as a guy wielding the equivalent of Dragon Slayer can be.
The voice actor was actually shown tweets from users that found Blaidd rather…attractive in an interview with Buzzfeed (via PC Gamer). He said that he felt “warm, aroused, comforted, and very loved. Thank you to everyone who has shown love and horniness for Blaidd.”
The Welsh Origins of the Fantasy Genre

There are other examples of Welsh references throughout several video game series. Drippy from Ni No Kuni has the accent, several Fire Emblem characters have Welsh names, and Edward Kenway from Assassin’s Creed IV is Welsh. Ultimately though, there’s a good reason why Wales is so attached to fantasy works and it’s not just the eldritch scripture that is its language.
A lot of early Fantasy concepts have roots in Wales. For example, the earliest writings about King Arthur come from Welsh poetry, the earliest being the ‘Y Gododdin’ which could have been written as early as the 7th century.
Many Arthurian names derive from Welsh including Arthur, Merlin (Myrddin), Guinevere (Gwenhwyfar), Mordred (Medraut), and Excalibur (Caledfwlch). So basically, the fact that Saber never calls Shiro her “Boyo” in Fate/Stay Night is sad and inaccurate.
Welsh also played a big part in a more modern fantasy franchise: Lord of The Rings. J.R.R. Tolkein was very fond of the Welsh language. He studied it, taught it in schools, and even claimed
“Welsh is of this soil, this island, the senior language of the men of Britain; and Welsh is beautiful”
Tolkein used Welsh as one of the direct inspirations for Sindarin, the language of Elves on Middle Earth. If you’ve ever loved the elegant language of Legolas and his countrymen, a country of elves that would inspire fantasy fiction for generations to come, you have the Welsh language to partially thank for that.
Meddyliau Cloi

I recently spoke to a Welsh friend of mine and asked him what he thought about all the recent Welsh accents in video games. He replied with this:

“Ah, yes! I feel like it’s good to get Welsh accent representation in games, and really just accents in general. It helps put us a little bit on the map. Was running around in Millick Meadows [In Xenoblade Chronicles 3] and came across the landmark “Llyn Nyddwr”, and thought it was really cool how they’ve integrated the Welsh language.”

At the end of the day, it’s always great to see or hear different accents and cultures represented in the medium of gaming, especially one that has such strong ties to the fantasy genre these works take inspiration from. They even have a Dragon right on their flag!

Hears hoping we get more Welsh or Welsh accented characters in video games, especially if they’re tsundere cat girls.

Q&A with Granblue Fantasy Director Tetsuya Fukuhara!

We stopped by Cygames’ office and had the chance to ask Granblue Fantasy Director, Tetsuya Fukuhara, a few questions regarding Granblue Fantasy! With him was Dai Omori, Localization Coordinator, on hand to translate.

Pictured: Director Tetsuya Fukuhara.
Granblue Fantasy players would know about the Optimus series of summons receiving their fourth star uncaps. For the uninitiated, weapons and summons can be “uncapped” up to three stars, with some also having four, or five. They’re basically the “limit break” system, providing more stats and additional effects where applicable.

Optimus summons typically feature weapons that are available from the premium draw/gacha. Omega – also referred to as Magna within the playerbase – covers the free to play weapons. There’s a context in regards to balancing F2P to big spending players, Fukuhara says. The Omega summons received their fourth star uncaps the previous year, so it raised the power levels for those players, so it became the Optimus’ series turn for their uncaps. It’s a see-saw, with updates rolled out periodically to ensure no single type will be constantly stronger than the other, to maintain the balance.
From left to right: Agni, Varuna, Titan, Zephyrus, Zeus, Hades, of the Optimus series summons.
With summer having ended, and Halloween units expected soon, one could keep wondering how the team decides on limited units. There’s multiple aspects:-
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

A character’s appearance within the story or event,
Do they have a good reason to be appearing as a limited unit?
The type and gender of the character

Fukuhara does acknowledge the tendency to have more female character units, and he doesn’t want it to be entirely female-dominated either, hence adding in new versions of male characters, for example. It applies to the “Grand” series as well – in Granblue, there are both seasonal limiteds and more regularly appearing limiteds, referred to as “Grand” series. For Grands, considerations include the character:-

To have made an appearance in the main story
To fit new raid battles
To fill a special role or niche within the game

A banner featuring Colossus, Sara, and Shiva. Shiva is one of the game’s Grand series characters.
With a game as big as Granblue Fantasy, as it approaches its sixth year of service, it has an expansive fanbase. Surely something from them has surprised the team? As a matter of fact, there is at least one, as Fukuhara brings up Belial. Belial is from Granblue Fantasy‘s fourth anniversary event, What Makes the Sky Blue II: Paradise Lost. His basic concept was to be “a very annoying character”, not meant to be beloved due to his being the villain of the story.
There was a huge response to the event itself. Typical events run for 9 days, but Paradise Lost was extended to a month in length, due to how much the fans loved it. He tells us about how sudden changes within a mobile game’s schedule can be quite hectic, but the enormity of fan reactions convinced the team it was worthwhile. They certainly hadn’t expected such a response at the point of the event’s release.
Pictured: Belial. Play the game and decide for yourself if fan reactions were warranted!
Granblue Fantasy has expanded into consoles, with projects like Relink and Versus. Fukuhara does not disclose any new information about Relink, but does mention the team at Cygames Osaka has been rapidly building up in speed, manpower and talent. Specific game announcements will be made at the end of the year, at Granblue Fantasy Fes. Should more IPs under the Granblue Fantasy name be announced, we can expect them at the year-end event too.
Regarding further expansion of the franchise, the original browser Granblue Fantasy will always remain as the core of the IP, and they definitely want to continue updating it. The browser game is plenty massive already, and Fukuhara doesn’t want people to be bored of what he calls the “fundamentals” of the franchise. He mentions devoted fans who’ve been playing for years, and wants them to continue being active players.
Versus and Relink will be expanding the possibilities for the IP. Versus, the fighting game, and Relink, as the action RPG, have the potential to bring new experiences to players of the mobile game. Those console players could start the mobile game from Versus or Relink, or mobile players could start getting into console games; it’s about the interaction of the media to enhance the fanbase.

Bringing in new fans is one thing, and Granblue Fantasy‘s UI could be a lot to process to begin with. The UI always has space for improvement, Fukuhara informs us. Changes have been gradually made, as massive changes can confuse the playerbase. The current iteration of the UI has seen plenty of changes from the beginning, too. As it is, it’s not realistic for overhauls to happen overnight. For now, they will focus on the merits of how the game is displayed, while reducing the demerits.
With the variety of events in the game, there’s bound to be some more grind heavy ones, that favours people who can play more regularly than those who can’t. The balance is determined through datamining, as the team has access to specific data as to how much any given player plays. Unite and Fight, for example, is a more competitive event where guilds – or crews, as they are known in Granblue Fantasy – go head to head to qualify into tiers, rack up more points in 1 to 1 matches, with individual rankings also bearing rewards. The events are modified accordingly to user data.
There are also scenario – typically end of month story events – and redux events, which are more accessible to newer players. Proving Grounds is an event type geared towards mid- to high-level players. This is another way of balance, by providing events that every player level can participate in.
Preliminaries for Unite and Fight underway.
Players are able to redeem various items from the shops in Granblue Fantasy, from regular treasure items to weapons. New raid weapons take a while to be introduced, since they are new, and having them overly accessible is thought to be not good for the overall gaming experience. The current new tier weapons will be added to the shop once there is a newer series of weapons. Immediate weapon availability for certain weapons is due to the team setting a cap to the number of these you can own at any time. These are typically incredibly powerful weapons, with some having only a limit of one per player, to maintain the game balance in general.
Collaborations with Granblue Fantasy can be quite fun affairs, with the variety of series that the game ties-in with. Fukuhara says these collaborations are usually planned at least 12 months in advance, due to the amount of work that goes into them. He can’t tell us what collabs will be coming up next, but there are ideas currently in the works for upcoming events. They’ll continue on with things like themed cafes and shops for the future too. As for permanent cafes or similar, he says it’s possible, but no details will be given at this time.
Up next: a Granblue Fantasy-themed escape room!
Regarding moving any of these themed events outside of Japan, Fukuhara points out the CyStore USA Pop-up Tour has been accepted well. Cygames’ properties goods get sold at various venues, and the reception for the USA tour has encouraged them to plan more for the future. He says there’s also much fan reaction from Asian countries and it’s being considered, without anything concrete available for now. Please come to Malaysia sometime!
Granblue Fantasy is not officially available as an app outside of Japan, but you can simply play it on your browser. Fukuhara encourages people to give it a shot, since you can start it without much complication. He does acknowledge there’s plenty of worldwide players accessing the game, something he calls a privilege, and is grateful for the support. To start, Versus and Relink will be available to fans outside of Japan in an official capacity, and in a nod to Asian fans, depending on the reactions, more could be coming soon. Fukuhara once again thanks players for their continued support, and for fans to stay tuned for future content.

As the name implies the idea behind the album is some Lo-fi tracks to cool off after a series of rounds in Rainbow Six Siege. It’s definitely a cool idea for a soundtrack as I know more than a few people who do this exact same thing after a couple of hours of gaming.
To craft this album, Ubisoft partnered with Kill Miami, JonyBeats, Rohaan, Kaze Beats, Kyle Evans, Riddle, and WIZE. Players can recognize the melodies or stems from the game soundtrack and discover a fresh new take on the themes they know and love.

“This album answers the question of, ‘What does lo-fi sound like to someone living in Rainbow Six world?’ We took elements from cult themes and SFX and mixed them with a relaxing, hip-hop twist to answer this question,” said Kill Miami, Composer and Producer of “Postmatch.”
All the tracks are free to use for streamers and content creators on video and streaming platforms as long as they are not for commercial use. For all conditions, please visit this article on the Rainbow Six Seige website. You can also download the OST from this page.

If the 10th Anniversary Edition does not sound so sweet to you, then you can consider getting just the disc version of the game.

Marvel’s Spider-Man, the upcoming game by Insomniac, has revealed a trailer with a gameplay demo and a ton of iconic Spider-Man villains appearances as well! Some of the villains you might know are Electro, Rhino, Scorpio, Vulture AND Mister Negative.

At some point, you might think that this is the Sinister 6 that Spidey will be confronting in the near future. However it was not revealed yet who the sixth villain is. With so many different variations of the Sinister Six, none included Mister Negative. As Mister Negative is relatively new in the Marvel Comics, he was a very well known crime lord. So why is a crime lord taking orders from someone else? Who is he taking orders from?

Well we don’t know who the last person is, but it’s highly possible that it’s Doctor Octopus as he is the main villain and mastermind of the Sinister Six in the Marvel Comics history. The gameplay is amazing and it really fits into how Spider-Man games should feel and look like. Web-swinging through the busy street of New York City with awesome cool web-slinging moves. A spider to die for.

Fish Fist is out on iOS, time to go punch some fish!

As crazy as the title sounds, Fish Fist is literally a game where you give fishes the fist. It’s similar to arcade whack-a-mole games, your reaction and concentration will be tested as you try to punch as many fish as you can. Beware of the obstacles that fly out of the water though!

There are six types of fish in the game, all which you can choose between different fists to punch with. The 8-bit classic soundtrack really adds on to the adrenaline too.

Omegamon X-Antibody Figure Review – Looks As Good As You Think

We got our hands on the Figure-rise Standard Amplified Omegamon X-Antibody figure, and after putting it together, here are my thoughts. Let me get it straight—the figure looks amazing. Non Digimon-fans are going to mistake it as a Gundam, but it easily looks a lot more attractive than many Gunpla out there (due to how slim and sexy Omegamon looks).

While the original Omegamon is badass in his own right, the Omegamon X-Antibody figure simply oozes coolness, replacing the cape with wings and featuring a sharper, more jagged-edge body. While I could sing praises of it to kingdom come, let’s get into the review part of this article, shall we?

Related Posts

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Construction
Putting the figure together is akin to assembling a HG Gunpla. With 11 runners, it took me about 6 hours to take piece together the Royal Knight. Two things to note—there are considerably more stickers than the average Gunpla, and the wings are made of thin plastic sheets.

Omegamon X-Antibody’s wings are made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic sheets, similar to the material used in plastic water bottles. I had to unpeel them like a sticker, but assemble them like a normal part by locking them in place between the actual plastic parts.

As for the rest of the body, the assembly isn’t too complicated. The instructions are available in English and are easy and intuitive to follow. Even when I made a mistake during assembly, it wasn’t too hard to pull out two pieces that have been attached together.
As part of the Figure-rise Standard Amplified line of Digimon model kits, you can even mix and match other parts like Dukemon’s shield or Mugendramon’s cannons. There are several extra pieces that are not necessary for the construction of Omegamon X-Antibody specifically designed to accommodate mixing and matching with other Digimon parts.

Design
The plastic model already looks awesome, but the stickers take it a step further. Standing at about 200 mm tall, there are many small stickers that serve as green accents that go well with Omegamon X-Antibody’s aesthetics. From the shining green core to the accents on the wings, the figure radiates power and energy.

Both the Garuru Cannon and the Grey Sword, the Digimon’s right and left arms, look really cool. The Grey Sword in particular is massive and the engravings on the blade (brought to life via stickers) are a wonderful finishing touch. The shield on the left shoulder and the spikes on the right shoulder are great, but the shoulders do feel a bit lacking compared to the rest of the body, in my opinion.

The wings are also really sweet, red on the inside and white on the outside. While some fans may be disappointed that Bandai went with wings instead of a cape like the original, the wings are surprisingly well designed. You can adjust them to fold inwards or spread out. The PET plastic material is also nice to the touch.

While you can set different poses for the Digimon, it’s a challenge to get it into the pose you want. It’s not because the joints are limited in their range of motion, far from it. It’s because of the weight balance. The wings are surprisingly heavy. If Omegamon X-Antibody is standing up completely straight, it will fall backwards due to the weight of the wings. For those who like to go crazy with the poses of their figures, this is one drawback that they have to deal with Omegamon X-Antibody.

Final Thoughts
For a price of RM193 (that’s 5,280 yen or roughly $45), this figure looks absolutely gorgeous. Personally, I think it’s easily one of the better looking Figure-rise Standard Amplified Digimon figures out there. While posing with it is a challenge due to weight distribution, its looks more than make up for it.

One of the features that we know is that the game is a side-scrolling RPG with an open world setting. It also requires little effort to play; it only requires 1 finger to play (good for those standing in the train when there are no seats). What also caught our attention is the capability of fishing in the game. There is also a crafting system seen from the trailer so the fish is probably used as crafting material.
For now, not much information was released about the game. So let us be patient and see what Colopl has in stored for us on the 10th of May.

This seems to be the remakes equivalent to PalPark from the original Diamond and Pearl, the area you would go to transfer Pokemon from the GBA games, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and Leaf Green.
Slates are the key to encountering Legendary Pokémon
Inside the rooms of Ramanas Park are pedestals, and it’s said that if you insert the corresponding slate into a pedestal, a Legendary Pokémon will appear. It’s unclear exactly how these slates can be obtained, so you’ll have to do some research as you explore the Sinnoh region.

The Genome Slate corresponds to the Genome Room. It seems there are other, different slates as well.

Legendary Pokémon you can encounter
In Ramanas Park, you can encounter a variety of Legendary Pokemon. Some of these Legendary Pokemon can only be encountered in one game version or the other, but you can still try to get them on your team through other means, such as by trading with other Trainers.

Monster Hunter Rise More Returning Features Revealed

Monster Hunter is in a particularly precarious place with the release of the upcoming Monster Hunter Rise. It’s previous installment, World, brought more new features and completely revamped player expectations for the Monster Hunter series.

In a new Dev Interview with game director Yasunori Ichinose, Ichinose said that World’s player-based difficulty scaling would be returning in Rise. The interview was translated by the Monster Hunter Asia Facebook.

“We’ve looked at past titles for reference and tweaked the settings to fit this game the best”, he says.
Previous Monster Hunter games have also had special quests you could do to explore the world. While games like Monster Hunter Generations and 4Ultimate had “gathering quests” that you could take to explore freely, World combined them with another feature called “Expeditions’”.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

While Ichinose didn’t clarify the exact nature, he said that players would still get to explore the locales in some way or other in the game.
“Outside of the regular quests, we have some quests that allow you play without a time limit as well, so if you want to focus on exploration and gathering materials instead of hunting, you can do that to your heart’s content”, he says.
While the answer doesn’t confirm whether or not they’d be doing expeditions a la World or the traditional gathering quest, it’s good to know you won’t be off-setting the entire hunt to go gather honey.

Ichinose also talked about the fan reception to Rise thusfar. One of the most noticeable reactions was to the new companions, the Palamutes.
“I was happy to see the response to the Palamutes was extremely positive, not just in Japan, but overseas as well. A lot of people asked to what extent you can customize your trusty Canyne”, he says. “We already revealed this information, but in case you missed it: you can change the shape of their ears and tail, and the color of their coat. We hope you create your own unique Palamute and treat it with as much affection as you would your Palicoes!”
“I’ve been using my own customized Palamute for checking the game, and it’s grown on me a lot”, he laughs.
But it’s not just the Palamutes that have been getting attention. Back during the reveal for Monster Hunter Rise, they showed off several new monsters, all with a Japanese folklore theme. Ichinose says the fan reception to these monsters has been great as well, even if they haven’t released much official information.
“We received a lot of reactions to the Buddies, but the monsters were very popular as well”, he says. “We introduced 4 new monsters (and a few others): Magnamalo, Aknosom, Tetranadon, and Great Izuchi. We only showed their names and what they look like, but people came up with lots of speculation for each creature and it’s all been really interesting to read”

On top of that, fanartists have been having a field day drawing the new monsters, and Ichinose wanted to let the community know that they’ve seen it all.
“I’ve seen a lot of fan art on social media as well, which makes all of us working on the game very happy. Thank you, everyone!”, Ichinose says.
“This game has a very Japanese/Asian-flavored setting, so initially I was a bit worried what kind of response that would elicit, but people reacted very positively to this as well, so we’re all very satisfied. We want to create something new while maintaining the core Monster Hunter experience, so we hope you look forward to future information”.
For those still on the fence about Rise, Ichinose says there’s far more to the game than has been shown thus far.
“There’s still a lot of things we haven’t talked about yet, so we’ll keep bringing you new announcements as the release date draws closer. Of course there are still plenty of monsters, both new and familiar, that we haven’t shown yet”, he says.
“And there’s some new player-related systems apart from the Wirebug as well…” he teased. “In terms of stages, we’ve only shown the Shrine Ruins so far, but of course there are a few more. Some of them may even bring back some fond memories”, he concludes.

Those familiar with the developer’s portfolio will realise that Friday the 13th – Killer Puzzle looks very similar to Slayaway Camp to the point you can assume this is a mod or reskin. As it stands, Slayaway Camp borrowed many elements from the Friday the 13th series, so things have just basically come full circle. You take on the role of the iconic Jason Voorhees and must wade through more than 100 brand new levels. Famous locales such as Crystal Lake are featured here, in addition to typical horror movie sets such as abandoned amusement parks, supermax prisons, beach resorts and even outer space.

HEATWAVE is a new limited-time mode that turns up the heat on the Apex Games. All the usual rules of Trio’s apply, but you’ll want to look out for Heatwaves that periodically happen throughout the match. When the heats on, you’ll need to avoid taking damage from the sun by taking cover indoors or under objects. If you’re caught out in the open, only sliding cools you down if you want to avoid Heatwave damage on the move. Lastly, Heatshields have increased in size and protect you in a large area from the sun for those moments when you’re caught outdoors and need to beat the heat quickly. Take care when using Heatshields though, they will be destroyed quickly when deployed outside the Ring.
Keep an eye out for Care Packages. Perhaps there lies another way to mitigate the effects of the sun and look cool while doing it. But you’ll need to jump into the mode on March 28th to find out more.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade will not be getting further DLC

Intergrade, the upcoming update to Final Fantasy 7 Remake, will not be getting any further DLC other than the Yuffie Episode.

In an interview with Famitsu, Tetsuya Nomura, the creative director for the Final Fantasy 7 series, commented on the features and future surrounding Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade.

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Nomura stated the following:

“Due to the nature of the upgrade system, it resulted in us having to label the new Yuffie sections as “DLC”. However, the original intent was to create a PS5 version of FFVII REMAKE and not to produce DLC. Accordingly, we do not have any plans for DLC at this time. Sorting out the development environment on PS5 for FFVII REMAKE INTERGRADE, meant that moving on to developing the sequel was much smoother. We are now prioritizing the roadmap for completing the next game, so if we do need to think about more DLC then it will probably come after that is finished.”

In addition, Nomura also clarified that players will only be able to control Yuffie. Sonon, the new character featured in the trailer, can act independently or follow Yuffie’s commands in battle. To switch between these two modes, players can press the L2 button.

Dota 2 community unhappy over lack of communication over cancelled Winter 2022 Pro Circuit Major

Valve had announced that the Dota 2 Pro Circuit Major for Winter 2022 would be cancelled via a blog post, citing issues with good ol’ COVID-19. The post mentions points distribution for the following Majors, as well as Fantasy rewards and… not the prize pool that teams would have been in the running for. Where would the $500,000 go?

Why is the Major's prize pool and points not distributed at least partially to the teams that are qualified/would qualify?

Flew to the other side of the world to play DPC & won, and yet I'm probably gonna make like $2k usd for the whole season after expenses.

It’s insane to me that a team like @Quincy_Crew (that has a 6-0 record this DPC) has players that are considering ending their pro careers because the job is becoming too unsustainable financially. These are some of the best players on my continent. What is happening? 🙁
— Moxxi (@MoxxiCasts) January 12, 2022

Teams and talent have come out to express their woes about this lack of communication, and the pressure has gotten Valve to answer, though apparently not through their own channels. Valve apologizes regarding their handling of the situation, and mention plans to organize a LAN tournament regardless, with updates to come when things get finalized. Until then, the Dota 2 Pro Circuit Major for Winter 2022 remains cancelled.

Quincy Crew’s Maurice “KheZu” Gutmann wrote about how Valve thinks “pro players / teams / organizations don’t add value to their product”, that the company could care less about their “partners”. Evil Geniuses’ manager, Peter Anders, disclosed how a meeting with Valve went, which told teams to not publicly discuss problems and speak directly to Valve, without Valve actually providing a proper channel to speak with them.
With the backlash, Valve would hopefully actually learn to properly inform the community as a whole. Don’t be like how Activision Blizzard handled Heroes of the Storm’s pro scene.

As the story goes:

In the far distant future, a psionic hormone was discovered in the human brain, granting people extra-sensory powers and changed the world as we knew it. As humanity entered this new era, deranged mutants known as Others began to descend from the sky with a hunger for human brains. Impervious to conventional weapons, those with acute extra-sensory abilities, known as psychics, were our only chance to fight the onslaught from above and preserve humanity. Since then, psychics have been scouted for their talents and recruited to the Other Suppression Force, humanity’s last line of defense.

Wielding talent like a blade – interview with the team behind Blood Moon: Genesis

We covered a couple of amazing student projects a while back, one of them being Blood Moon: Genesis! This title from students from UOW Malaysia KDU would readily remind you of the Soulsborne titles, Sekiro, and just a bit of Furi in terms of its gameplay. Dubbing themselves Project: G, the team consists of:

Kugen Keith (Ace) – Project Manager and Designer

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Chuah Chee Yee (Jason) – Environmental Artist

Chew Tong Sim (Sim) – Character Modeller and Animator

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Alvin Ong Yeau Seng (Alvin) – UI artist, Animator and Rigger

Arjun Arjay Pillai (AJ) – Enemy Animator and Rigger

Wong Jia Wei (Jack) – UI and AI programmer

Mohammadreza Heidari (Reza) – Gameplay and Visual Programmer

Introducing themselves, the work is divided accordingly:

Ace as game designer for the boss and level, basically the head of the group
Sim as art lead for the characters with some animation
Alvin is the primary animator especially for the minions and some UI design
Jason did the work for the game environment, for the cave and outside area
Jack worked on the enemy AI as well as being the UI programmer
Reza worked on the main character’s gameplay, choreo, visual effects as well as the cinematics (like that of the ending sequence)

AJ was not present for the interview. We’ll be referring to all the members by their provided nicknames.

Ace reveals the idea for the game came from him, having already decided when recruiting members while “balancing” the roles. He provides an example of simulator games being too heavy on the design, programming and art side. He believes a boss battle game has a balance between design, art and text, and everyone in the team plays similar games so they already had their foundation to build on. It’s also a personal thing because Ace likes mythology – especially Japanese myths – and its influence can be seen in the demons, and the wolf found in the game. They’d have wanted more “forms”, but it would’ve taken a lot more work so they kept it to 2. Keep in mind they had six months to complete the project.
Arena concept.
All of them have different things they found challenging in designing their game:

Ace considers the camera one of the biggest problems which Reza ended up wrangling with, to get its positioning right especially when the minions started coming into play before they stuck with a simpler set up and learnt how not to overcomplicate things
Sim found the early concept stage/character design challenging, to actually put all the ideas together where they had to go through several costume ideas to fit the game and not have it be blocked/clipping
Reza also brings up the difficulty of keeping a consistent frame rate especially when the character is in motion

That sure sounds fine in theory, but they needed to have a schedule if they wanted to complete the project at all. The plan was to set specific things they wanted to do per month, then run public play tests every month or so, talking out the concepts on Discord and everyone provides feedback as instantaneously as they can considering the short time they had. Alvin says Ace was essentially their backbone, getting the team organized to achieve their targets.
Main character concept.
Ace being the backbone seems quite obvious when he has so much to talk about the project. The playable character is female for a sleeker silhouette to match the fox motif, and that there weren’t many “Souls-like” that featured a primary female protagonists. You can make one, in both Dark Souls and Bloodborne, but that’s not quite the same, is it? Ace mentions wanting a fast moving character, with a slower boss, though of course if the player’s movements are too fast the boss won’t be able to attack, so the balance had to be struck there. They’re all self-professed fans of Japanese history, stories and myths, with their boss being based on the actual myth of Shuten Doji.
Shuten Doji concept.
They all have their own motivations regarding their work in “Project G”:

Ace likes the action combat style and weapons, as well as designing boss AI even if it gets really complex
Reza likes these “Souls-like” games, so wanted to see what he could do with the gameplay
Alvin found the whole concept interesting, from the myths and stories, pushing him to do the UI and promotional art for the game
Jason admits he started off clueless but was set on being the environment artist, filling in the role for the team. He played games like Sekiro to get inspiration
Both Jack and Sim like these Japanese inspirations and gameplay, Jack specifically mentioning the timing and skills behind the attacks in “Souls-like” games

Arena rendered.
The team as a whole will be looking to get internships, and are unlikely to update Blood Moon: Genesis anytime soon, if ever. The game received much praise, something they hadn’t expected, so they’re at least glad they could achieve that before they get busy with their internship.
Time management has been something they’ve learnt during the 6 months: being disciplined, making schedules, meetings and communicating. There’s also where they need to compromise over various aspects of the game: whether they can or can’t make it due to technical issues. Advice from their mentor and lecturers have also been valuable, with meetings stretching for hours as well, tying in to the time management.
Screenshot of outer level out of bounds.
In the future, they’ve all got different ideas on what game they want to make next after Blood Moon: Genesis, from Alvin’s narrative type games a la The Walking Dead, Ace on MMOs or survival type games that are heavily systems focused, Jack considering puzzle games or just genres he hasn’t tried before, Reza also wanting something different like a racing game and Jason looking to FPS games.
Should they get back together, a game with more Malaysian influence/inspirations seems an interesting idea to all of them, Ace even pitching horror based on local stories. Sim also mentions promoting the local culture too. With that in mind, Ace feels the Malaysian government has been doing a pretty good job especially with MDEC supporting indies, and with companies like Larian Studios, Sony, opening up offices here, he says it’s “really cool and they actually recognize our skills”.
Shuten Doji animations.
For you would-be game dev students, your seniors here have some tips they can share with you. It boils down to several basic ideas:

Always communicate with your teammates so that you all know what you are doing and tackle problems early
It’s always okay to fail, so long you take them as a learning experience
Don’t give up too early. A lot of things will happen during development, so don’t be afraid and take it head on
Always aim high, even if you can’t reach the peak. Be ambitious, and try everything
Inspiration is fine, but don’t straight up just copy
Aim for a quality product

Mountain top map concept.
To close off, Sim has more wise words: get more involved in a team when you’re in game dev, and you’d learn how to work with people. The team would like to thank their lecturers, friends, families, players and supporters who have enjoyed their game, those who have promoted their title and of course, each other for making the game together.

We’d be looking forward to see where this team goes in the future! We do already have several Malaysian studios who have been making waves internationally, from Kaigan to Kurechii, Magnus Games and METRONOMIK, all having released or are releasing games that have caught the attention of many. That’s not forgetting the Malaysians who have worked on high profile games, if not necessarily fully local releases, and raising the next generation of developers would only make the scene richer.
While the physical LEVEL UP KL event has been postponed for the year, so long MDEC can continue to extend their support to local game development even during the off season, we can surely look forward to more projects in the coming future, and we’ll see who will be the next talent to take the world by storm, shall we?
