Hi! is Nils of Daedalic Entertainment. Children of Siren Town, I’m here today to tell the story of how this idea evolved into the game it is today. As a serious title by a few people outside of their full-time software development and YouTube content creation jobs. Originally developed as an animated short, Francesca collaborated with his Elf Games at Luna2 Studio to bring Children of Siren Town for interactive media. The passion this team exudes is infectious and has slowly but steadily poured into the project over the years. Watch the making-of video below and hear directly from the team, even Jack from Punk can’t wait to share with everyone!Meet him and the team in his making-of video embedded at the top of this post. let’s go
Piero, a programmer on the team, said: Children of Siren TownSome say it’s a hauntingly beautiful point-and-click adventure game, but see for yourself. But we are not full-time developers. Members of Elf Games are already busy with their software development company, so they develop video games during off-hours. ā
Children of Siren Town It’s a point-and-click adventure, to be sure, but the team wouldn’t call it a conventional one. I was. Elf Games took these elements of course, but could have combined them with elements from other classic adventure games.For example, they were inspired by one-shot When bird story, specifically a camera view that allows for more exploration and some quest-like structures. Additionally, the game features song-based mechanics that link directly to the story. By using songs, the player unlocks situations and puzzles. Each of these songs is linked to a themed mini-game that adds variety to gameplay.
short version of the method Children of Siren Town It turned out like this.
Children of Siren Town It’s a game about Lucy, a girl who lives in a town surrounded by forests inhabited by monsters. From such a simple concept, the team sought to create a story that could unfold on many levels. They wanted to create a story where every bit was an additional piece of the puzzle the player had to help reveal how the town and forest came to be.
āVideo games are a strong passion that we feel can bring our skills and creativity together. It’s not easy to dedicate yourself to such a long project, but we believed we could make it happen, ārecalls Francesca.
As with many projects, the initial plan was to create a small, simple project. But things changed quickly. After releasing a short demo, we were surprised at how well received it was, so we decided it was worth making it a bigger project, enough to truly reveal the story of the characters and the world of Silentown.
development makes sense. Children of Siren Town Also, like the original concept, it will be a little different. The team has worked hard to not only fulfill the vision of the story, but to grow the game into something bigger than it was originally planned. Children of Sirentown, I am so excited to share it with the world. We hope you enjoy playing this game as much as we enjoyed making it.
Children of Siren Town is now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S!
