How Secret Door created roguelite Shadowstone from the roots of Sunderfolk | interview

Developer Secret Door made two announcements last week: First, that it planned to launch a 2.0 version of its co-op tactical RPG Sunderfolk, and that it was working on an entirely new game set in the same universe, called Shadowstone. Shadowstone is a spin-off from Sunderfolk, with completely different gameplay. According to developers at Secret Door, it grew from a mode created for Sunderfolk that eventually grew enough to stand on its own. Part of the motivation behind it, they told me, was to offer something that Sunderfolk players had long expressed their wishes for: A game that could be played solo. .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{ -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent); mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent); } Read This Article for FreeGet instant access by joining the GB MAX Access tier — it’s free to sign up and unlock premium content like The BIG Show.Join Now to Start ReadingAlready a member?
