GRTV: Coilworks on Cloudbuilt
We learn more about the third person platformer.
We caught up with Johannes Smidelöv from Swedish startup Coilworks to discuss their promising speed run-centric platformer {Cloudbuilt}.
"{Cloudbuilt} is an action platforming game. You control it pretty much like a third person shooter with WASD keys and the mouse, but it plays more like a classic platforming game like Mega Man or Sonic, but in 3D. So the game is very much geared towards encouraging you to start speedrunning things."
"We wanted something that really looked unique for the game so we took some inspiration from games like {Valkyria Chronicles} and they have this more brushed like style... so we got inspired by how they solved and started to apply this. It also helped us from a gameplay perspective, because if we had gone with a more realistic style this could look really strange."
