Gunning for Glory: Behind-the-Scenes ‘Battalion 1944’ Video
0Lifts Lid on Development of Old-School WW2 Shooter
STRAIGHT FROM THE DEVS: London, UK – 12 Dec. 2017: With the scars of warfare still littered all over its landscape, there are few exercises more worthwhile for a developer working on a game anchored around the defining battles of World War II than a trip to Normandy.
Throughout the development of Battalion 1944™, the team behind it - the talented folk at Derby-based studio Bulkhead Interactive™, who previously developed The Turing Test - have visited the north of France for inspiration. Indeed, their latest venture across the English Channel forms the basis of a brand new behind-the-scenes video that details both the development process, and exactly what the studio hopes to achieve come launch.
“Throughout development it’s been so important for us to study every element of World War II,” details Howard Philpott - Creative Producer at Bulkhead Interactive. “The main thing for us is to really understand the brutality and the visceral nature of the Second World War. We’ve been working so damn hard just to make sure we can capture the intensity of these weapons, and making that translate to a mouse and keyboard. It’s been a challenge, but I feel like we’ve really nailed it.”
