Daniel Smith, Senior Producer at Ori and the Will of the Irish Lights in the Xbox Game Studios, talks to blind over the beautiful Metroidvania platform of Moon Studios.

Ori and the blind forest remains one of the best games that have emerged from the umbrella of the Xbox Game Studios of this console generation - that and the fact that Wille of the voice lights say it as if it would improve every aspect of its predecessor. Together, this means that people are more than just a little enthusiastic about the sequel. We recently sent some of our MOT burning questions about the beautiful Metroidvania platform to his developers, hoping to learn more about the game. You can read our interview with Daniel Smith, Senior Producer on _ori and the will of the misslights in the Xbox Game Studios below.

When we got on the way ori and the will of the Irlant We wanted to preserve the pieces that the players loved ori and the blind forest While we developed the series over what we could then gave the players more possibilities, To explore the universe to which it reacted so positively.

There is a lot of pressure when trying to go to such a popular game like this? Ori and the blind forest, knowing that the fans will expect something good (or better) with the continuation?

When we made our way ori and the will of the voice lights We wanted to preserve the pieces that the players loved ori and the blind forest While we developed the series over what we could then gave the players more possibilities, that Universe to explore, on which they reacted so positively. So I would not say that there is pressure to meet the recognition of the first game as much as we want to build something that will love our fans while we are more accessible to new players. This is the expectation we have to ourselves and that drives everything we do.

Can you get in detail on the ShardS system and how much in combat and crossing plays?

Shards are a diverse new system that allows players to adapt Oris forces to different unique species. Players can equip up to three shards at the same time, with upgrades that can be equipped later. They include a wide range of skills and offer the flexibility to adapt ORI to every playing style. With 35 splinters to collect and upgrades, the players are almost endless combinations to choose from.

What we love to the Shard system is that it really opens ori up to a much larger number of players and allows the game to scale up as well as down, which is perfect for a title that is in Xbox Game Pass is started. For example, experienced players can boost their damage by becoming a glass cannon and suffering more damage, while a newer player can equip skills such as the Sticky Shard, with the player's effortlessly climbing walls to support crossing. There is really the opportunity for every player to match the gaming experience exactly according to his wishes, and we are curious which combinations the players will find from the 11th of March.

Something else that is new Wille The Irish Lights The combat system consists of several weapon types. Can you talk about how many you are and how strong you differ from each other?

Ori and the will of the Irlant offers a variety of weapons that can equip the players, and develops the fight beyond that in which he was ori and the blind forest. Similar to shards, players can equip up to three different weapons simultaneously to adapt OIS combatability to the individual game styles. The first weapon, unlocking players is a sword with which ORI gives access to a fast, flexible melee weapon useful in a variety of situations. However, you will quickly unlock more when you move through the game. Whether it's a hammer to avoid heavy, powerful turns, or a ghost arch to add a remote camera element to your attack, there are options for each game type.

Ori and the will of the irradiation is a much larger game than ori and the blind forest in relation to the total scope, and that includes the card.

By combining the different weapon types, the shards and the progress mechanism of the game, it definitely seems to give a great variety of builds _Wille the voice light. How high was it on your priority list during development, to pinpoint this aspect of the game?

Creating more than variety, our destination with ori and the will of the Irlant was to make a game accessible to all types of players. While the fans loved ori and the blind forest We have received many feedback from interested potential players that they could not play the game due to its high level of difficulty. Through the revision of the combat system and the introduction of shards, we were able to offer advanced players opportunities to challenge their skills, and offer new players to support the game and make a little easier. Both systems offer this flexibility and replayability, which in our opinion is crucial when the game is made available to a large audience on the first day with Xbox Game Pass.

Movement was a large pillar in the first game and one of the most sophisticated and entertaining aspects ori and the will of the voice lights improve that?

One of the biggest feedback we received from players ori and the blind forest was that you have received some of the funniest powers of the game later in your adventure. So pure ori and the will of the Irlant We wanted to give the players early access to basic skills such as double jump, blow and hit to promote the feeling of dynamics in the movement. In addition, we decided to keep and expand some of the forests from blind forest preferred from fans, so that the players can control a variety of new transaction skills on their journey.

Can you talk about how big the card of the game is, especially in terms of blind forest ?

Ori and the will of the irradiation is a much larger game than ori and the blind forest in relation to the total scope, and that includes the card. Players can explore a world that is about three times as big as ori and the blind forest and we are curious how the players react to all the surprises they will find on their way.

In a genre full of fantastic games, we wanted to highlight ori and the will of the misleading thanks to the unique power and combination of storytelling, art and design, combination system and technical skills that drive the game we feel _ori stinging next to their contemporaries.

In terms of cards, one of the largest strengths of the first game was, as different the card was in relation to the environment and the design of the areas - which of course was a good excuse for the game to demonstrate his incredible art. Can players expect a similar variety of the game world? Ori and the will of the voice lights ?

A card three times larger than ori and the blind forest has led to an even wider and more diverse selection of places that explore it. While the card is greater in ori and the will of the irradiation The areas remain about the same size, so that the players can cross a wide world that allows our talented artists and designers to really play their creative muscles. In the Blinder Forest It was important that any environment does not just look different, but also feels different and has a unique puzzle or traversal mechanism. We did not have any exception in this design philosophy Wille of the voice lights and I think the players will have a lot of fun to explore the world of Niwen.

Something new The Wille of the Irlant adds, is NPCs, some of which even distribute side quests. What should the players expect from this side of the game? Can you talk to us about the type of side quests, which could include what you would incorporate into history?

With a larger world we wanted to encourage the players to explore the exit paths, and side quests will make ORIS adventure even deeper. While some side quests consist of simple tasks, other players are traveling to discover the background behind many of the characters, whom ori will meet on their journey. While we do not want to reveal specific details to avoid spoilers, but the players can expect the same level of emotion and care as of the main story, and we can not wait to see the players' reactions to you.

The metroidvania genre has in recent years a resurgence as no other experienced ori and the blind forest was very responsible. Has one of her colleagues in this genre pointed out for them, which may have influenced them during development?

We love the genre and think of games like hohlritter, tote cells, Blutfeckt, and more have made remarkable work to advance the genre in an interesting way. In a genre full of fantastic games, we wanted to emphasize ori and the will of the missilant through the unique power and combination of storytelling, art and design, combination system and technical skills that drive the game we feel ori lifting next to his contemporaries.

Although the variety of play styles that play players when playing something like a metroidvania is difficult to set a number for the length of the game, we can say that the game is three times as big as. Ori and and The blind forest This time there will be much more to discover.

How long does an average playing of _ori and the will of the voice light be?

Although it is due to the variety of play styles that play players when playing something like a metroidvania is difficult to specify a number for the length of the game, we can say that the game is three times as big as ori and the blind forest So this time there is much more to discover. With the different combinations of shards and weapons, players can repeat the game and make a completely new experience on Oris trip.

Will the game Xbox One X-specific improvements contain? Are 4k / 60 fps on the cards?

Ori and the will of the Irlant will indeed play with 4K resolution with HDR and run with 60 fps on Xbox One X. The game looks really good and plays wonderfully on the hardware.

How is the game running on the original Xbox One in terms of frame rate and resolution?

It is important to us that we achieve performance with the original Xbox One hardware as close to performance saving performance. We believe that we have achieved that, but continues to work on a patch that is delivered shortly after the start and make small incremental improvements, so the players see 60 fps, regardless of what hardware they like to play.
