Legends of Eisenwald - Development Diary #16

Three main characters of Legends of Eisenwald are invented by leading game developers Nikolai Armonik and Denis Lomako analogous to our first game Discord Times. We have once said that initially Legends of Eisenwald was planned to be much easier and more like a remake of Discord Times, but eventually we got many different ideas that found their way into the game. We eliminated everything that is impossible to do by a small team and got a hardcore simulator of a wandering knight. It was originally planned that we would have 6 heroes (one male and one female characer for each class), but in the process we decided to give make it a bit different, so we ended up with just three characters: Knight, Baroness and Mystic.

A little later, when Nikolai had already developed the game engine and we came up with game visualisation, its main features, narrative outline, and other elements. We decided not to go much into narrative individualization based on the hero class, and we made a bet on the players possibility to associate themselves with a character.

So today, you can choose one of three characters, not only in accordance with yours strategic and tactical preferences, but also to write your own history of relationships with the world of Eisenwald. This world has a twisted story and a large number of in-game legends, which can be touched. We believe that our characters perfectly embody everything that we do with the game world.
