Q: What was it like to be given the opportunity to create a new Indiana Jones game?
A: “It was mind-blowing. At first, it felt terrifying, but as we started working on it, getting into that sense of wonder, excitement, and awe that we felt when watching Raiders for the first time, development began to flow naturally.”
Q: How did you approach the task of creating a story for the game?
A: “We developed the story synopsis in-house at MachineGames in collaboration with Todd Howard, who had long nurtured the idea of doing a story-based game on the mysterious Great Circle. Of course, we wanted to be true to Indiana Jones’ character and make sure that this chapter fits into Indy’s story.”
Q: What makes the gameplay of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle unique?
A: “Our philosophy of the gameplay is based around the character of Indiana Jones. He is not a superhero; he is a very agile and tough archaeologist. When you overcome the numerous obstacles in your way, it takes a lot of effort and hard work, like a real human being.”
Q: Why did you choose to make the game first-person?
A: “First-person gameplay is part of MachineGames’ DNA, and we wanted to see how we could use this to create a really immersive experience around stepping into the shoes of the world’s most famous archaeologist.”
Q: How did you approach the challenge of recreating the iconic whip in the game?
A: “Our main goal has been to make it as useful and versatile as possible. We focused primarily on combat, as we knew that would be the most challenging part of the feature. Not only making it work well in combat, but also in combination with other important combat tools, like hand-to-hand and use of in-world items.”
Q: Is there anything you want fans to know about the game now that they have a bigger look at it?
A: “First, I am immensely proud of the team and the work they are doing on this game. It’s a combined MachineGames experience and a classic Indiana Jones adventure in one, and we hope that when you play the game, it will feel like you are discovering an Indiana Jones story that sits perfectly in between Raiders of the Lost Ark and Last Crusade.”
Q: And finally, are there snakes?
A: “Of course — we love snakes. We are game developers, not as easily scared as adventure heroes!”
