The development of the game blooms in the Czech Republic, and among the most striking developers in the province are Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Developer Warhorse Studios and Truck SIM Developer SCS Software. You may not think that those studios have a lot in common, but even when Kingdom comes: Deliverance 2 reaches huge heights, Warhorse still wants to catch up SCS.
“[SCS Software has] A huge, enormous audience and extremely dedicated fans, “Warhorse Global PR manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling tells Gamesradar+.” And they have the best offices here from all the game studios. They have built their own Silicon Valley species. We are not there yet. They have many more developers than we do. The Czech gaming industry blooms and KCD may help to spread some love and what not, and perhaps motivate some new studios to come up. “
Like Warhorse figures, their similarities with SCs can go even further than their country of origin. “In Kingdom Come: Deliverance we attracted a lot of people who never play games, which is a bit unique,” says Senior Game designer Ondřej Bittner. “It is a kind of euro truck simulator – many people playing euro truck simulator, do not play any other games. So we communicate with many people who love history, or deny, or historical martial arts, or whatever, and she had No problem with most mechanics “
Bittner here refers to the more division mechanics of KCD, just like the limited SAPE system – something that players who come for the grounded historical focus of the RPG does not seem to find it bad. Similarly, I doubt whether too many people drops the door of SCS software in the hope of transforming the Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator into high-speed arcade racing games. It pays to understand your niche, and unlikely because it seems that this is something that these two Czech studios have in common.
Kingdom Come: The developer of Deliverance 2 knew that it could not repeat the Eurojank of the first game – and if the sale rises, Warhorse has a Witcher 3 moment.
