GDC plays GreedFall with Spiders
GreedFall represents a strategic evolution for the studio Spiders, which leveraged a three-year development cycle to refine its role-playing game formula.
- Spiders extended the development cycle of GreedFall by one year, moving from a planned two-year schedule to three years to focus on iterative improvements and level design refinement.
- The studio utilized a proprietary engine, the Silk Engine, which allowed for the development of a custom quest-branching system and provided greater control over project-specific updates compared to using third-party middleware.
- To improve player engagement during loading screens, the developers implemented an interactive menu system that allows players to manage inventory, companions, and side quests while the game assets load.
