The Talos Principle went on to be a hugely successful game, which in turn spawned the Road to Gehenna expansion and allowed Croteam to increase the scope of its current project, Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass. “From a strictly commercial perspective, the next installment in a proven franchise always makes more sense, but we were lucky to be in a position to get excited about a project and turn this dream into a wonderful game.” “There were only a handful of puzzle games on the market and there was no way of knowing how the game will perform” explains Ladavac. We’re very happy and humbled by all of this today, but in reality, the studio took a huge risk when we decided to start working on Talos.” “The game turned out awesome, reviews and scores are nothing short of amazing and most importantly players love it, stream it and turn its secrets inside out. “It’s tempting to look at The Talos Principle in hindsight as ‘yet another great game from Croteam,’” sighs Alen Ladavac, Croteam’s Chief Technology Officer. The Talos Principle, a philosophical puzzler, was born.Ĭroteam worked extensively with writers Tom Jubert and Jonas Kyratzes to build an existential narrative around the game’s interactions, resulting in a sedate experience with religious overtones and philosophical wonderings - a game that was the exact opposite of Serious Sam’s frantic, fast-paced non-stop action. Some of the most elaborate puzzles intended for the next Sam game evolved and soon grew to take on a life of their own.
Of course, a new Serious Sam title was planned at a time but that’s when the creative inspiration struck and took things in an unexpected new direction. Everything went back to normal soon enough, just in time for me to hear somebody scream: ‘A philosophical what!?'” “I wasn’t disconnected from the call, it was just a few seconds of garbled video and voice.
“They informed us that they were making a new game instead and that’s when my connection dropped out for a couple of seconds,” remembers Graeme. Everybody here at Devolver assumed it was to share information on the next Serious Sam game.” Suddenly they were back, asking for a conference call. “Croteam went off the grid for six months and it wasn’t a strange or a new thing, they do that from time to time. Graeme Struthers, head of Devolver’s Europan branch, was on a Skype call when it happened. The Talos Principle was almost a finished game when Devolver Digital saw it for the first time.
But there it was, a game that just sort of happened and we needed to decide on what to with it.” Honestly, at first, we didn’t know what it is exactly. I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like.The Talos Principle launches today on Xbox One, bringing mind-bending puzzles and a deep psychological story to the players. If I'm not mistaken, the situation did eventually get resolved. X^DĪs for Pink Floyd, I'm sure it wasn't any band members deciding the kids shouldn't get paid, but a rather significant oversight by their staff. *anywhere*.' At some point, I'd muted the music and completely forgotten that I'd done so.Īll those poor robots, riverdancing their metallic asses off, and me with the volume down. I assembled that accursed leprechaun about 4 times before I realized.
Disappointing if true, I thought better of Pink Floyd.) (Huh, didn't know that about the children's choir. Must be either a technical issue on your side, or a game bug you ran into. That would be the same Floyd who neglected to pay the school childrens' choir who featured prominently on their album The Wall. I believe the audio portion of this magnificent Easter egg was removed (?) because it doesn't play when I click the Use indicator on the prism. Ne'ertheless, in a quick internet search, I find a YouTube video entitled The Making of The Talos Principle and within the description: ".Croteam's project leaders Davor Hunski and Alen Ladavac." I rather think 'Serious Sam' knew that before the question was asked. Originally posted by Aaron hated all people.:I realize I'm a tad late to the party.
