That’s a super simple call that Microsoft have built into the Series S.

With graphics you can just scale down the resolution and there is a quadratic reduction of load, and often that will suffice. Often game logic or physics is on separate timing anyway. There is no global option other than fps to scale down. I think people sometimes think optimising graphics is the hardest, but for me CPU performance is more difficult. The CPU and i/o performance is basically a Series X. I think the logic with the Series S and Series X is really clear. Is it confusing though? I asked Tomas to let me know his experience on creating the game across both the Series S and Series X. In an interview with WCCFtech, Detroit: Become Human creator, David Cage, voiced concern and said “I think it is confusing for developers”. One final question I wanted to ask Tomas was about working across the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Working Across Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S Having now seen people play it enjoy it and get excited for this world and its stories.

Even now, I will be on edge until release, nervous for some game-killing bug, or regrettable design choice stemming from developing solo.īut on the whole I’m just very grateful for the attention it has had. For me, I refused to believe any of it, until people started to play it and they started to vibe with what I was trying to do. So no, I didn’t expect it, you can however feel it in the air, from people’s reactions and the growing response on social media. Just… be itself I guess, that is attractive as well. They want something that takes risks, might fumble parts of it, but is willing to be something new. They are looking for a game that doesn’t provide the perfect ride into the (albeit very epic and polished ) experiences they’ve done over and over. I think there is an audience that wants that. It’s also completely different because of that near fatalistic attitude. Looking back now, and looking at what’s there, it is certainly an uncompromising game. The only goal post was to do that and make sure I could support my family. I just wanted to make what I wanted to make, without compromise.

To be honest, I’d reached a point where I didn’t care anymore. I started this because I felt working in larger teams, and the stresses of working to create other people’s ideas had run its course with me. “You don’t set out on a journey like this with the expectation to be successful or seen this well. I’d love to add a lot more of that after release.” Tomas Sala, Creator of The Falconeer Credit: Wired Productions Was the Level of Attention on The Falconeer Expected?įor an indie game made by more or less one person The Falconeer has had a lot of attention, in part due to it being a launch title on the Xbox Series X and Series S. Those great moments where you realise objects and people have a story beyond just your random encounter. Something I’d like to do a lot more of.Ī wreck you find in one mission should have a story to discover outside of that mission. That’s why I hope to have a lot of fun in the coming year adding more small environmental stories to the world. In that sense, game-wise, you can really feel the merger of Skyrim and Crimson Skies in The Falconeer. It instilled in me a passion for environmental storytelling worlds there to explore and piece together by yourself.

I’ve also spent a few years doing Skyrim mods (Moonpath to Elsweyr). The latter for me setting a tone of high flying fantasy that really struck a chord with me. Then Comanche and even Privateer and Freelancer, up to of course Crimson Skies. Starting with the Aces Over the Pacific, Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, Red Baron. “I’d say in terms of games I very consciously went back to the flying games I played growing up. It’s a game that is trying to make its own stamp in the air combat genre. Then again The Falconeer isn’t a game that seems to want to dance in the shadows of others. Not the kind of words you’d expect to hear on the initial pitch of a bird based aerial combat game. “Epic, haunting and explosive,” Tomas tells me.
