Exoplanet: First Contact - Interview @ opnoobs

Opnoobs have interviewed the Exoplanet: First Contact devs to learn more about them and the game.

In your bios you state that Exoplanet will be “mature” title. With it being a relatively broad statement in the video game industry today, is the emphasis on maturity being focused through narrative, gameplay or both?

We understand maturity not only as certain types of 18+ rated content (sex scenes, extreme violence, consuming alcohol or taking drugs etc.) that you can put into your game for attracting more audience, but as rather as serious mature themes, moral dilemmas and situations the player will encounter in Exoplanet. Our thoughts about war, government corruption, historical events that should not be forgotten, postcolonialism, modern society and its problems, even our view on the current state of the game development industry – you can read it all between the lines in Exoplanet. We do not state or preach something though. A mature player, who is involved in this discourse will recognize these themes and act as he desires, according to his own moral compass, while following our story. Others will probably see Exoplanet as an adventure on a fictional cruel and wild alien planet and we are perfectly fine with that.

Oh, and don’t forget the dark comedy humor and a healthy dose of sarcasm, targeted at cliches and boring super-serious AAA games.

Thanks Eye.
