Many studios struggle with poor project management; major companies that have absorbed these studios often lack any organizational structure. Baldur’s Gate 3 creators are not part of this machinery, but they are still an independent studio that knows what fans want.
In a recent interview, Larian Studios director Swen Vincke talked about how this development team is not involved in many titles while at the same time trying to not lose quality in upcoming games. This company’s goal is to focus on a few things at a time.
Swen Vincke and How Not to be Drowned in Work
In a recent interview talking about the studio, the game, and the future, Swen Vincke gave a lot of information about what will come now. Regarding the company taking on multiple projects, he stated, “40 or 50 games, or whatever, at the same time, because that would kill us.” He clarified that this kind of work will not be good for the studio; they have a focus-based way of working that just works.
Vincke elaborated on this, saying that this studio is independent and focuses on specific things that will not work if Larian Studios works on more projects at the same time. He said, “I think we’re intellectually unable to go further than that. We don’t know how we would do it. It would turn us into something different from what we are right now, and we don’t want to do that.” This company only wants to make good RPGs.
Baldur’s Gate 3 team is already working on a new game that will not be like any project that the studio has made before. New art, new mechanics, and a new beginning. Vincke and the company have not given any more information about when this game will be available. Fans are really excited about what this amazing group will do next. The reputation and quality are undeniable, and the potential is limitless.
The Success of Baldur’s Gate 3
Few games accomplished what Baldur’s Gate 3 had done—a game that almost completely depended on fan feedback, thanks to an extraordinary relationship between the studio and the community. This title won all the awards possible and became the ultimate GOTY. This role title went above and beyond to achieve the immersion level that players receive. The next game in this studio is already in development.
The mechanics of this title are very original, focusing on unique gameplay and cinematics that are carefully crafted to make the player feel like a part of this world. This title elevated the genre to a whole new level, combining an amazing Dungeons & Dragons experience with the authentic feeling of playing a famous role-playing game. In a recent interview, the director of the game talked about the future of the studio.
