We were excited by the chance to work on a game that had no external compromises-something purely made by us, for us, the way we wanted it to be.

We’d get together and brainstorm various ideas, but the one we were most captivated by was Darkest Dungeon.īoth of us freed up in the spring of 2013, and we decided it was now or never, so Red Hook Studios was born. We had been circling around the idea of doing a game together for years, but we were busy with other studios and start-ups. Who: Chris Bourassa, creative director and artist, and Tyler Sigman, game designer and executive producer Īlso, dig into our ever-growing Deep Dive archive for developer-minded features on everything from Amnesia 's sanity meter to Alien: Isolation 's save system. Game Design Deep Dive is an ongoing Gamasutra series with the goal of shedding light on specific design features or mechanics within a video game, in order to show how seemingly simple, fundamental design decisions aren't really that simple at all.Ĭheck out earlier installments on the heredity system of Hero Generations, traffic systems of Cities: Skylines, and the plant-growing mechanics of Grow Home.
