EGX Interview – Jos Hoebe – Owner/Lead on Verdun

v

While attending EGX 2014 at Earl’s Court, London on Thursday 25th September 2014, I caught up with Jos Hoebe, Owner of BlackMill Games and Lead for upcoming BlackMill Games & M2H Game Studios title Verdun.

We covered a number of topics throughout our interview including the following:

  • What the game is
  • Why they chose World War One
  • Details of the squad mechanics 

    Other games do squads, but in Verdun you level up your squad together

  • We discuss the role playing elements
  • Is the game online-only?
  • How did the concept of the game begin?
  • We discuss staff levels on the team and the logistics behind it
  • Is the game available yet?
  • Overview of squad layouts and options
  • Visual design
  • The team’s goals
  • The game modes
  • The best thing about the game

Take a moment to listen to the interview at the top of the article and learn about what makes it stand out as a little bit special.
