First Cult County details
Posted on March 22, 2013 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories
Some of the first details regarding Renegade Kid’s brand new first-person shooter for the 3DS eShop, Cult County, are included in this week’s Nintendo Force.
Cult County will be receiving episodic releases. The first is due sometime this year, which, along with other downloads from the eShop, will provide around four hours of gameplay.
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham told Nintendo Force that the series of titles will incorporate “better pacing in terms of when there is tension and when there is action.” Players will explore “detailed environments that would not have been possible on the DS”, and Watsham also reconfirmed Circle Pad Pro as well as stylus-focused controls.
Religion will play an important but fictional role in Cult County. However, Watsham clarified: “It is not our intention to make a statement about any of the existing religions or impose our beliefs on anyone.”
Watsham wrapped up his talk with the magazine by speaking about the risk in making Cult County:
“To self-fund the development of Cult County is a very difficult and risky endeavor for us. Mutant Mudds was a lot less risky in terms of development cost and the needed return on investment to break even or make a profit. The release of Cult County will be the ultimate test for us of whether we can develop an ambitious title for the Nintendo eShop market and be financially successful. The result of this game will help guide our future development efforts.”
