Rumor: Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet Will Have An RPG Progression System – Gameranx

It’s unclear if this is identical system Naughty Canine has all the time used, or in the event that they’re taking new dangers.

Now we have picked up a small fragment of details about Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, however one which definitely comes with an enormous disclaimer.

As shared on the Intergalactic reddit by person 22Seres, a former Bend Studio and Naughty Canine developer has listed their work expertise making Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet on their LinkedIn.

Primarily based on the screenshot that we took from their LinkedIn profile ourselves, they labored at Naughty Canine as an Affiliate Technical Designer from August 2022 to February 2024. These are the precise credit they offered for his or her expertise within the firm:

 – RPG development programs on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet

– Accessibility, metagame, gameplay programs, stage scripting on The Final of Us Half II Remastered

– Metagame, participant comms on The Final of Us On-line

It’s definitely exhausting to overlook it, however sure, a part of their work won’t ever see the sunshine of day, as a result of it was within the cancelled The Final of Us On-line. Whereas that’s definitely a disgrace, they will say that they did so much to overtake the sport design on The Final of Us Half II Remastered. Whereas we all know some followers might not have felt that this remaster was needed, for these of you who loved this recreation, we imagine that you could have this particular person to not less than partly credit score for it.

For many who had been curious, their work expertise at Bend Studio was comparatively minor. As an intern, for lower than a yr, they “pitched, designed, and applied gameplay prototype in Unreal Engine for participant-going through scripting language for a programmable companion.” It’s clear that they actually made their title in Naughty Canine, they usually might have made an enduring mark on their newest recreation.

Now, one might argue that Naughty Canine’s signature type locations extra significance on the present narrative that they already need to inform over gameplay. So, their video games don’t have the open feeling of motion RPGs like The Witcher or Murderer’s Creed. Their gameplay programs are intentionally constrained to serve the needs of the story, as an alternative of getting the sport design be included into the story itself.

It’s not totally clear if this RPG development system is identical form Naughty Canine gamers are already used to from their video games, however provided that the studio is now placing new administrators within the entrance seat, they might be venturing to take extra dangers. This can be greater than a Neil Druckmann recreation with a unique story, which we predict is what lots of people expect.

Are we prepared for a very non-Druckmann Naughty Canine recreation? Will this even survive the ultimate product? We’ll see what they’ve to point out us, once they resolve it’s time to point out us.
