With each new level (attained) said player will earn an attribute point that can be assigned to whatever attribute the player wishes to improve.” “Elderand’s role-playing game systems are heavily influenced by the Diablo series, the game has a lot of weapons and equipment (available), and you can create a unique character.” Fernandes said before further explaining how the EXP system works, “The player will earn EXP by defeating enemies. However, there are important Role-Playing Game elements in Elderand that will enable less skilled (but patient) players to earn levels and customize a stronger character. “The player cannot be reckless during Elderand’s battles, there is a balance between the flow of exploration and the game’s strategic combat.” According to Fernandes, in similar fashion to Souls games, Elderand encourages the player to get “better” at combat as he/she progresses through the adventure. Thus, Elderand was conceived as an action-RPG adventure inspired by Symphony of the Night, but with an emphasis on “deep combat, and a more dynamic (in relation to SotN) item system.” Fernandez also loves the Soulsborne games, and he wants to challenge players of all skill levels with Elderand’s own brand of combat. An Action-RPG with Deep and Strategic Combat The funding aided Fernandes (and his team) in the improvement, and refinement of what already was shaping up to be a well designed and ambitious project. At the time, there wasn’t a lot of Metroidvanias, so I asked myself: Why don’t I make my own (Metroidvania game)?”įernandes would manage to secure investment (funding) for the project from Ancine (a Brazilian National agency) in 2018. So, I started to study some game engines in hopes of making games by myself. “I was always the ‘art guy’, and twelve years ago it was difficult to find a (game) developer who would like to work with games in Brazil. “Elderand was born from my love of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Lovecraft.” Fernandes stated while reminiscing at some of the hardships that he faced in getting his project off the ground.
