RPGWatch - Victor Vran Interview

RPGWatch: Victor Vran feels like quite a change of direction for Haemimont. What made you decide to go this way instead of developing another Tropico game?

Boian: The game industry has this way of forcing you as a developer into a particular niche. Once you create a successful, say, city-builder title, it is almost expected that you will continue to make city-building games for as long as you exist.
As gamers we enjoy many and varied games, and we don't want to constrain ourselves to a single genre as developers. The perspective and experience we've gained from making our very different previous titles have proved invaluable for the development of Victor Vran.
For example, we've learned much about creating a dynamic combat system from our old action-adventure title The First Templar. Real-time strategies told us much about creating interesting enemies with varied combat behavior.
We aimed to create a fresh and different action-RPG experience and all those life lessons from previous projects really helped us do so.
