If you’re not familiar with Gamasutra’s series of Deep Dives (admittedly, that’s the most fitting name that could have ever hosted anything related to Nauticrawl!), here’s the official description: [i]The Gamasutra Deep Dives are an ongoing series with the goal of shedding light on specific design, art, or technical features within a video game, in order to show how seemingly simple, fundamental design decisions aren't really that simple at all.[/i] Nauticrawl’s development was one heck of a journey because of its experimental mix of many diverse gameplay elements, so I’m just very happy whenever I get an opportunity to dissect some of that process and how it led to the final result. A big thank you to Gamasutra for the opportunity to share some of this journey with you all.
