Q: How do you decide on the audio direction for a world that doesn't exist yet?
We lean on the game's lore and backstory to inform our sound design, ensuring it reflects the history of different factions and regions.
Word on The Street 13: Biomes and Playtests
Q: What are Greg's thoughts on casual players?
The aim is to balance power between hardcore and casual players with an 80% rule, allowing casuals to enjoy most content while hardcore players invest time for the top 20%.

Q: How do you know when it's time to make the next step in the development process?
It's important to have clear goals set for what the prototype phase aims to accomplish to determine if we can move on.

Prototyping is when your team is super small and trying to figure out what the game is, focusing on the most innovative and risky parts early on.
WORD on THE STREET 02: Prototyped
Q: How long until we know what the real name is going to be?
It depends on how far along we get with the game, but we want the name to be informed by the game.
