Fateless Team Q&A: Key Insights and Future Plans
In the latest Fateless podcast episode, the team behind the upcoming game shared insights into their development process and answered questions from the community. Hosted by Sham, Simon, and other core team members, the Q&A session covered a range of topics, from content creator selection to game mechanics and community engagement.
Selecting Content Creators
The Fateless team explained their process for bringing new faces on board. They focus on creators who have extensive knowledge and passion for the gaming industry. Many of the new members have approached Fateless independently, expressing a strong interest in contributing to the project. This organic growth ensures that those involved are genuinely invested in the game’s success.
Game Style and Vision
The team revealed that their first game will be an RPG, similar in style to “Raid.” It will be based on a large, recognizable IP, featuring around 300 characters at launch. This robust character collection aims to provide players with a rich and engaging experience from the start.
Team Synergy and Development
Despite being a newly formed team under the Fateless banner, the members have a history of collaboration. They have worked together on various projects over the years, fostering strong relationships and effective teamwork. The team values diverse opinions, which they believe drives innovation and ensures a well-rounded development process.
Design Collaboration with Magic Media
Fateless maintains creative control while working closely with Magic Media, who handle coding and some writing. This partnership allows Fateless to focus on creative direction while ensuring high-quality technical implementation. The collaborative approach ensures that all ideas are fully developed and integrated into the game.
Addressing Pay-to-Win Concerns
The team is committed to avoiding typical pay-to-win models. While there will be options to spend money, these will be designed to enhance the experience rather than create unfair advantages. The goal is to ensure that all players can progress and compete based on skill and strategy, not just spending.
Community Engagement and Feedback
Community feedback is a cornerstone of the Fateless development process. The team actively monitors input from their Discord server, where community members can share ideas and suggestions. All feedback is tracked in internal documents and discussed during team meetings to ensure that the best ideas are implemented.
Inclusion of Famous Characters
While incorporating famous personalities into the game is seen as a valuable marketing strategy, it is also costly. The team is open to the idea if it becomes feasible in the future, particularly if a celebrity shows a genuine interest in the project.
Core Game Mechanics
The upcoming game will feature familiar RPG elements such as character stats, equipment, and boss battles. While the core mechanics are still being refined, the team is focused on creating a unique and engaging experience. They are also exploring innovative features that could differentiate their game from others in the market.
Future Updates and Transparency
The Fateless team plans to continue engaging with their community through regular updates and active participation on Discord. They aim to maintain transparency and keep the community informed about development progress.
The session concluded with the team expressing their gratitude for the community’s support and promising to keep them involved and updated as the project evolves.
Stay tuned for more updates from Fateless as they embark on this exciting journey!
