Making Anthem sounds like a perfect triple storm

It seems a miracle that BioWare and the EA sci-fi MMO anthem have begun.

It is long and worth reading, but it is long and short that the title was supported by the technical limitations of the EA Frostbite engine patented by the Swedish DICE, as well as the visions of what the game is about.




Although the game was ready since 2012, the final version of Anthem, which began in February this year, only started about 18 months before the release date. Ultimately, the important elements, such as flying Mech suits, were not always at stake and the team switched to mechanics. Taking into account that the means of movement are not blocked, it also meant that the design of the level and the aspirations were not blocked for a long time. The functions announced until 2018, as a detailed system of skills tree, have never been put into play. This is, at least in part, the reason why the anthem has not appreciated too well in its beta test or body.

The change of leadership of BioWare, led by Casey Hudson, did not contribute to the development in 2014, leaving a gap at the top. Hudson finally returned in the summer of 2017.

Employees also discuss the impact of mental health on the BioWare teams in the Edmonton and Montreal area of ​​Canada, as well as in Austin, Texas, due to the hard deadlines and long periods of crisis. It involved a six-week period of "significant crisis", during which a demonstration was built so that EA Worldwide Studios boss Patrick Söderlund would not be impressed after the game. By the way, it was when the flight was finally added, as well as an updated art style.

In short, the development of Anthem seems to be the perfect storm of a large budget project, hampered by technical difficulties, lack of a clear vision and, at all times, a massive editor who breathes his neck trying to make the studies are impossible .

"We sincerely support all present and former members of our team who worked on the game, including administration," he read.




"It takes a lot of effort, energy and dedication to do any game, and it would not have been possible to make the hymn without any effort, it's best to bring this new idea to the fans, we did not want to be part of what you tried to humiliate them as individuals.

He continued: "Like the studio and the team, we accept all the criticisms that come from our games, especially from our players." The creative process is often complicated, the difficulties and challenges of videogames are very real. amazing: people in this industry are putting so much passion and energy to do something fun, we do not believe that articles make our industry and our art better.

"Our focus is on our players and we will continue to produce hymns for our entire community, thanks for the support of our fans, we are doing what we do for you."
