To celebrate the last days of voting, we'd like to share a couple of Marcin's stories from Janosik 2's development. Here's the first one! [h3][b]A Page From the Dev Diary #1[/b][/h3] I’m excited about Janosik 2’s nomination for the Indie of the Year Award, and I thought I’d drop some tidbits from the development. Here’s a funny story from a while ago. I was talking to Filip, one of the QAs, about prisoner placement. The goal was to ensure their locations made narrative sense. For example, putting prisoners in Rozalia’s forge didn’t seem logical… at first. Then Filip hit me with: "[i]Unless the prisoners want to be there[/i]." This confused me at first, but he continued: "[i]Imagine if, when you approach them, they say something like: 'Don’t bother freeing me. I’m... exactly where I want to be.[/i]'” [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40648059/d88440b77df46472fc89458de340481abceec9aa.jpg[/img] It was too good to pass up, so it’s now officially in the game. Let’s just say things may be heating up in Rozalia’s basement, and not necessarily because of the forge above. Keep your eyes peeled, and maybe prepare yourself for some... unexpected encounters. Thank you for all the support, and remember - if you like my game, please consider sharing it with your friends and leaving a positive review to make sure Janosik 2 reaches as many players as possible!
