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.
