Today, Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe released the first development diary for their upcoming horror game, The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan. In this first development diary, the developers comment about the creation of one of the most important assets of the game, the ghost ship.
In the video, the developers comment on how it was a challenge to make the ghost ship – being the main location of the game – look real, since it is unclear how an abandoned ship would look like after being adrift in a lot of years.
Check out the Dev diary video of The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan, featuring a cinematic video with commentary form the developers:
In the first Dev-diary, the Supermassive Games team talk about everything from the authentic audio of the door latches, the way sound reverberates inside the ship to the concept and influences behind the creation of the ship. Every detail was designed in order to give players the most terrifying and atmospheric experience possible.
About the game
The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of stand-alone, cinematic horror games, designed to deliver a new and terrifying experience at regular intervals. Each game is unconnected and will feature a brand-new story, setting and a new cast of characters. In Man of Medan, four young Americans set sail on a diving trip, to find a rumored WWII wreck. As the day unfolds, and a storm rolls in, their trip soon changes into something much more sinister.
The Dark Pictures: Man Of Medan will launch in 2019 in both boxed and digital editions for PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and PC with EFIG voiceovers.
