| 9s | a couple of years ago we conceived the |
| 10s | idea to release a successor to cordova's |
| 13s | engine 2. the big players in the game at |
| 15s | the moment were the elder gods but they |
| 17s | can't just roll in and take the elder |
| 19s | god eggs so we needed to find generals |
| 20s | for them |
| 21s | so you had kerapak the dragonkin who had |
| 24s | just brought anachronia forward in time |
| 26s | with the needle |
| 28s | then we had the older god when so we |
| 30s | brought in a new creature we hadn't |
| 32s | really ever seen before an arc glacial |
| 36s | then we had to look at fall |
| 39s | had a look through old school's inferno |
| 42s | and it just made sense to bring in zakal |
| 45s | zuk |
| 46s | so we figured why not pay homage to that |
| 49s | and bring him into the runescape world |
| 53s | creating the audio for the zekko front |
| 54s | was so much fun i decided to call upon |
| 57s | forth the most epic voices in jagex and |
| 60s | do a chant recording session right here |
| 62s | in the studio |
| 70s | i also asked my good friend rob to |
| 72s | record my guitar parts for the track and |
| 74s | when we put that all together it was |
| 76s | such a great sounding piece of music and |
| 79s | you know really pleased with how that |
| 80s | eventually turned out |
| 87s | [Music] |
| 88s | obviously environments are a really big |
| 91s | part of your screen when you play right |
| 93s | you have your character and everything |
| 94s | around you is environment |
| 98s | the main things that we try to do with |
| 99s | that is just like really convey the mood |
| 102s | and the tone that we want players to |
| 104s | feel at that point first discussions |
| 105s | will start |
| 106s | story drafts will be written we'll know |
| 109s | a rough idea of what the location is |
| 111s | that we need so then to start out |
| 113s | concept art we'll make a bunch of |
| 114s | different mood paintings for it from |
| 116s | that mood art then we make a rough white |
| 119s | box that has the layout we take that |
| 121s | translate the concept in a rough layout |
| 124s | then concept art will paint over that |
| 125s | again and then we will translate that |
| 127s | into the final environment |
| 132s | the storyline really kicked into high |
| 133s | gear with as an address quest that's |
| 134s | where like as an address quest battle of |
| 137s | the monolith city of centisten leads |
| 138s | directly into the other god wars dungeon |
| 140s | and it you know the pace really starts |
| 142s | to pick up with the storyline at that |
| 143s | point and that's what that was the most |
| 144s | exciting thing about it was we've never |
| 146s | really told a story |
| 147s | that was so integrated before in |
| 150s | runescape in the past like often when a |
| 151s | storyline has continued it's been well |
| 153s | there's a you know there's a piece of |
| 154s | story a year later six months later two |
| 156s | years later the next part of the story |
| 158s | will happen and in the meantime other |
| 159s | stuff was happening we've never really |
| 160s | told such a large scale story over such |
| 163s | a short space of time before |
| 166s | so the city of cintiston being a very |
| 168s | holy place and of course we've got the |
| 169s | cathedral located at its very heart what |
| 172s | i definitely wanted to do with this was |
| 175s | record uh what we call a basso profundo |
| 177s | or an activist this is someone who has |
| 179s | an incredibly low natural vocal range |
| 182s | and i got in touch with a guy called |
| 184s | eric holloway and eric could really hit |
| 186s | those low notes and when we put him in |
| 188s | the game his singing just resonated |
| 190s | through the entire city |
| 198s | i tend to listen to a lot of music as |
| 200s | well so for aya i was just listening to |
| 203s | sad indian playlists on repeat because i |
| 205s | wanted to make myself sad to try and get |
| 207s | to make get that feeling into the |
| 209s | environment and then for boss arenas i |
| 212s | will listen to the bloodborne soundtrack |
| 213s | or something like that |
| 219s | when we first received the concept art |
| 221s | for crosses we instantly thought wow |
| 223s | what a kind of like weird and icky |
| 225s | creature and so we instantly thought |
| 227s | like what would his movement sound like |
| 228s | bought some celery bought some peppers |
| 230s | and i easily went into the studio and |
| 232s | kind of was kind of breaking him up to |
| 234s | try and reflect and to try and imitate |
| 237s | that kind of awkward bone cracking |
| 239s | movement that crosses has |
| 262s | we also went to pig farms and recorded |
| 264s | pigs and |
| 266s | went down to a local park and recorded a |
| 267s | swing these eventually became crosses |
| 269s | streaks and screams |
| 281s | [Music] |
| 295s | [Music] |
| 297s | ravioli goldball saga we've recorded |
| 299s | lots of great va for all of our |
| 301s | important characters for instance in the |
| 303s | glacial front we recorded as an addrem |
| 306s | giving helpful information to the player |
| 308s | whilst they're fighting this helps |
| 310s | really well not just in terms of |
| 312s | having great va but also in terms of |
| 314s | accessibility for our players as well |
| 316s | they're depleting your divine energy get |
| 319s | up keep fighting there are big tensions |
| 322s | right now on gilano sarah doman and |
| 324s | zamarak started a fight at the battle of |
| 326s | lumbridge |
| 327s | technically saradomin won that fight but |
| 329s | zamarak has restored himself since then |
| 331s | and |
| 332s | that fight got interrupted by cisco's |
| 335s | endgame and then that fight got |
| 336s | interrupted again by the god wars and |
| 339s | the threat of the elder god wars but |
| 340s | they never actually resolved it like |
| 341s | it's still they still hate each other |
| 343s | they both still want to control gillan |
| 344s | or i can't imagine that they're done |
| 346s | right |
| 348s | it wouldn't be a godless dungeon if we |
| 350s | weren't working on a fifth boss to |
| 352s | accompany the four fronts for goddess |
| 354s | dungeon one we had next for god was |
| 356s | dungeon two we had telos and four |
| 359s | elder god was dungeon |
| 361s | we're working on something that is as |
| 363s | innovative |
| 364s | as the forefronts combined you'd think |
| 367s | that after dealing with a threat that |
| 369s | threatens to destroy all of the universe |
| 371s | i think maybe we could take a break and |
| 373s | just relax a little bit |
| 375s | the threats aren't over the story's not |
| 377s | over there's more to come |
| 385s | you |
