Why did they choose to make a soulslike game?
We initially conceived a game with multiple characters and later decided to make it soulslike. Our fondness for challenging game experiences led us to explore this genre during a brainstorming session in 2017. As we discussed and played games like Dark Souls, we felt a strong desire to challenge ourselves to create a similar experience. Transitioning from players to game developers, we began prototyping ideas and delving into the fascinating design aspects of soulslike games.
Brazil's marks in the game
Trialforge has integrated numerous references to their home country into the game. One of the most noteworthy nods is the inclusion of a playable character named Mamdile Ogaté. He is a fighter who leverages his Capoeira skills, a captivating martial discipline rooted in the vibrant and rhythmic essence of Brazil. The developers have also incorporated vegetation and urbanistic features, along with diverse characters, reflecting Brazil's rich cultural mix and its welcoming embrace of various cultures.
Brazilian game dev industry and its difficulties
The Brazilian video game industry is gaining momentum, particularly in the thriving indie game scene. Developers in Brazil grapple with financial challenges, including accessing funding, navigating complex export regulations, and the absence of specific industry regulations. Global competition and the imperative for effective promotion and marketing further complicate success in the industry.
São Paulo stands out as the focal point for game development in Brazil, boasting major companies and significant investments from both private and public sectors. While Brasilia experienced an indie boom a few years ago, Rio de Janeiro is now expanding and reaching a commendable level of maturity.
