Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 yisihola sokuqala se-studio esizinze eMontpellier, iSandfall Interactive, iqembu labantu abangu-60 elasungulwa ngo-2020 ngamaveterani abaningana abavela ku-Ubisoft, EA kanye nama-outfit aseFrance azimele. Leli-gama, elamenyezelwa ngesikhathi se-Xbox Games Showcase kaJuni 2024, lihlelwe ukuthi likhishwe ngo-2025 ku-Xbox Series X|S, i-Windows PC (Microsoft Store / Steam) futhi lizotholakala ku-Xbox Game Pass ngosuku lokuqala. Noma ngabe iSandfall ingawuvulanga umnyango kwezinye izinkundla, i-Xbox-PC kuphela esemthethweni ngesikhathi sokubhala. Liphrojekthi yakhelwa ku-Unreal Engine 5, futhi i-trailer igqamisa ukusetshenziswa okubanzi kwe-Nanite geometry, i-Lumen global illumination kanye nama-character shader aphezulu ukuze kufezekiswe ubuciko obufana nopende kodwa obuqiniswe ngokwesayensi. Indaba eyinhloko Njalo ngonyaka phakathi kwamabili umculi omunye ongashona owaziwa ngegama elithi i-Paintress uyavuka, upende inombolo eyodwa esikhwamaneni esikhulu, futhi ngaphambi kokusa bonke abantu balolo hlobo lobudala bayafa bakhonkothwe. Ngemuva kwezimpawu ezingamashumi amathathu nambili ezinjalo, abasindile abasele bayazi ukuthi isikhathi sabo siphelile: inombolo elandelayo iyoba ngamashumi amathathu nantathu. Ngakho-ke, iqembu lokumelana elizibiza nge-Expedition 33 linquma ukwenza uhambo olunesibindi ukuze lufike ezitezi ze-Paintress, limphonsela inselelo, futhi liqede umjikelezo ngaphambi kokuba kube sekuseni okumisiwe. Indaba ihlanganisa ubuciko obukhulu ne-Belle Époque France—izitezi zensimbi eziluhlaza, izakhiwo zokuziphatha, izibonakude zethusi, izindiza ezigoqwe ngesilika—ngokunjalo izikwele ze-Paintress zivuza izithombe zamaphupho ezingokoqobo kanye nemifanekiso ephila emhlabeni. Izindikimba zokugcina, inkumbulo yeqembu, kanye namandla obuciko bokudala nokubhidliza zibalulekile kumlando, oSandfall athi ugcwaliswe ngokuphelele ngesiNgisi nangesiFulentshi futhi ugcwele ukuthwebula ukusebenza kwabalingisi abaphambili. Ukuthuthukiswa komhlaba nokuhlola Izindawo ze-Clair Obscur zithatha kakhulu ezakhiweni nasezithombeni zaseFrance zasekupheleni kwekhulu le-19—imigwaqo egcwaliswa ngama-gas, izindawo zokulinda eziluhlaza okubomvu, izindiza zolwandle—bese ziyihlukumeza ngezimo ezingenzeki kanye namaconsi kapende entantayo noma nini lapho umthelela we-Paintress ukhula. Ukuhlola kugcwele umuntu wesithathu kanye ne-free-camera; abadlali bangagijima, bagibele, bahambe emagqumeni, bafake izibopho phakathi kophahla futhi baxazulule izinkinga ezilula zokudlula ezihlanganisa ukulawula imishini epende enkulu (isibonelo, ukujikeleza isondo lombala ukuze kuqine izithiyo zokushaywa. Imisebenzi eyisigaba eseceleni evela emakhaya anezifiso, amasosha adume yimpi nabasunguli abanobuqili kugcwalisa indawo, futhi isifunda ngasinye siqukethe "i-Color Fractures" ozikhethelayo, izindlu ezingaphansi ezizimele ezinemigomo yazo ehluphukiswe umbala oyinhloko. Iqembu nabalingisi Lo mdlalo ugxila eqenjini elingaguquki lamalungu amahlanu e-Expedition 33; amathathu asebenzayo empini kanti amanye ahlala esekugcineni futhi angashintshwa ezindaweni zokugcina noma phakathi nempi ngamakhono akhethekile. Kuze kube manje iSandfall izisebenzise: • Gustave – umholi kanye nekaputeni wangaphambili weqembu lempi yedolobha; umculi oyisiphelo ongabuyela emuva lapho abadlali bephimisa ukuhlasela lapho isikhali sesitha sikhanya. • Maëlle – umfelokazi oye waba yiqhawe elingakhaliphile; usebenzisa i-crank-crossbow ephinda isebenze njenge-grappling hook phakathi nokuhlola. • Jules – umbazi omkhulu onesando sempi; unguchwepheshe emakhonweni okudiliza kanye nokuhlukumeza umhlaba. • Ilsa – umculi ophumelele emiklomelweni usebenzisa i-"vermilion tonics" ezilimazayo eziyisimiso sokwelapha kanye neziphepho eziyimbangela. • Marianne – umculi wangaphambili oluhhewu lwakhe ludubula izinhlamvu ezicwebezelayo ezingabuyela emuva, okuvumela izinkinga zokudubula eziyimpumelelo kanye nezimbalwa. Ukwenyuselwa komlingisi kuhlanganisa izibalo ze-JRPG ezijwayelekile (i-HP, ukuhlasela, ukuzivikela, umlingo) ngebhodi ye-"pigment slots". Ukunqoba izitha kukhiqiza i-pigments eluhlaza—i-cobalt, i-ochre, i-magenta, njll.—engasetshenziswa ukuvula imiphumela engahleliwe noma ihlanganiswe ukuze kulungiswe izindlela ezikhethekile. Lezi-pigments ziphinde zibeke izindwangu zabalwi kanye nemifanekiso yamaphalethile, zihlinzeka ngombhalo obucayi wendlela ngayinye yokwakha. Uhlelo lokulwa I-Sandfall itshengisa i-Expedition 33 njenge-"turn-based RPG enezinhloso zesikhathi sangempela". Izimpi ziqala ngokushelela phezu kwezwe. Ngosuku oluthile, iqhawe elikhethiwe lenza ikhono, kodwa abadlali base benza isenzo esifushane, esihlola amakhono ukuze sinqume ukusebenza: • Ukuhlaselwa ngemele kucela ukucindezela izinkinobho ezihlelwe ngesikhathi okufana neziyalezo zokuhlasela eziphelele ku-Paper Mario noma i-Yakuza Like a Dragon. • Amakhono asuselwa ezithombeni aguqukela engela yomlomo lapho abadlali beqondisa mathupha phakathi newindi lemizuzwana embalwa. • Izinkathi zokuzivikela zivumela iqembu lonke ukuthi lihambe ngokukhululeka ngaphakathi enkundleni encane ukuze liyifake noma ligweme ukuhlaselwa okukhanyisiwe; ukugwema komzuzu wokugcina kuyayisusa yonke into. • Amakhono afana nemilingo adinga ukudweba okusheshayo kwezibonakaliso zomlingo nge-analog stick noma igundane, futhi noma yimaphi amaphutha anciphisa amandla.
