Leonard Boyarsky On 'Fallout's Spiritual Successor'

Posted by timothy on from the helen-of-troika dept.

An anonymous reader submits "Duck and Cover have interviewed Troika's Leonard Boyarsky about their currently unsigned post-apocalyptic game. He describes it as the 'spiritual successor to Fallout', which sounds good to me."

    No, the reference is directly to Fallout. Fallout's manual said the game was 'the spiritual successor to Wasteland'. Hence this quote will get people who know about Fallout excited, as it's a direct reference to that, kind of 'the next generation'.

    Hi, I was the person who interviewed Leonard and my strong impression is that they WANT to do a turn based game, it's the publishers who don't want to take the risk of a) an unusual setting combined with b) a 'niche' (their view) combat system (turn based). There has to be demand for the system, and as Leonard says, they got a few publisher calls based on the media and community reaction to the screenshots a few months ago. So if we make enough noise about turn based games, there's still a chance.
