'We have something that works really well with the style of game we want to create - it's one-on-one, it's intimate,' Stiksma said.

'There's going to be more opportunities to go off the path - this is about expanding the world, the journey with Quill but also the story of these environments, why they're like they are.'ĭon't expect multiplayer in this chapter, however - this would change the dynamic of the game too much, Polyarc has decided. 'Our structure works well for a linear story, but that doesn't mean our geography has to be completely linear,' Stiksma continued. We want to strengthen that for Moss: Book 2.' 'It's not just an adventure in the classical video game sense, it's an emotional journey with someone you may view as friend. 'It feels very good to reach in and move things, then see Quill climb on those things or give players a high-five,' Stiksma said. Polyarc is keen, though, to once again focus this new chapter on the physical interactions with Quill and the emotional bond which players form with her. The sequel will offer a range of new environments and enemies, plus new ways of interacting with the world through combat and puzzle-solving, such as the hammer shown in the trailer which can be used for either. Quill needs to get a plan together for how she'll overcome this giant challenge, but thankfully she won't do it alone, as she'll have friends old and new.' 'We revealed in the trailer this winged tyrant which will be hunting Quill down and forming this present sense of danger for her.

'We continue right from there, you discover there's more arcane dangers and the world of Moss needs saving,' Stiksma told me. Moss: Book 2 is designed to be accessible to newcomers, but will pick up the story right from the moment the first game ended, design director and principal software engineer Joshua Stiksma told Eurogamer via video call earlier this week.Ī veteran of BioWare and Bungie, Stiksma is again helping lead the small team at Polyarc which has been working on the sequel for some time.
