Glad Work, the developer behind the wonderful RPG Maker titles Worry & Starvation and Worry & Starvation 2: Termina, has just lately spoken concerning the third recreation within the sequence and its potential instructions. You’ll be happy to know that they’re simply as radical because the adjustments between the primary two entries.

On Twitter, Glad Work just lately posted just a few of their ideas on what Worry & Starvation 3 would possibly in the end be. In an virtually chilling assertion, he manages to make the second recreation sound prefer it’s all sunshine and rainbows in comparison with the destruction that’s coming. “If F&H1 was about creation, F&H2 was about chaotic rising pains and alter that got here from that creation – then to shut to the circle, subsequent to come back is inevitably destruction to wipe the slate clear. How you can destroy a franchise on meta stage too?”

Worry & Starvation 3 will divert from the ‘established’ set-up even additional

Destruction is an enormous theme to throw round once you’re speaking a couple of beloved franchise, and followers wished to know what Glad Work meant by this. Understandably, one participant thought it might imply the third recreation can be set in a post-apocalyptic world, however that’s not the case.

Glad Work clarified: “No, I don’t need to do apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic stuff, it’s oversaturated trope at this level. Destroyed solely on meta stage and possibly on character’s private stage.” This says to me that every character’s backstory and probably even the kind of soul they’ve will mirror the destruction of their lives previous to gamers assembly them within the recreation.

The developer additionally goes on to make an extremely daring assertion about what Worry & Starvation 3 would possibly do to the fan base. “Staying largely solo with some further assistance on some issues sometimes. That’s the place my head’s at at present. I don’t have plans that far in future. F&H3 will in all probability scale back fan base to 10%, and I dunno if I nonetheless have curiosity in F&H afterwards?”

When requested why the sport would possibly scale back the fan base, he defined that “F&H3 is simply one thing nobody is asking for and doubtless will divert from the ‘established’ F&H gameplay.” He provides that the sport’s retailer, construction, and aesthetics shall be fully totally different and expects it to generate a adverse response from some followers consequently.

The primary Worry & Starvation may be very a lot a dungeon crawler. It’s a brutal recreation with deep mechanics and doesn’t maintain your hand. As you grasp it, you’ll progress additional and unlock the secrets and techniques of its gameplay techniques, a number of routes and endings, and lore.

The second recreation makes use of a really comparable fight and exploration system, however the story, world, and construction are all very totally different from the primary. Gamers are thrown right into a battle royale towards different contestants in a darkish god’s pageant, and it actually opens up the potential for dozens of playthroughs within the far way forward for this deeply disturbed world.

Nobody can predict the place the third Worry & Starvation recreation will go. Based mostly on the evolution between the primary two titles, you may count on a modern-day setting, however it could make simply as a lot sense if it was set 1,000 years sooner or later or the previous.

Given the recognition this sequence has gained over the past couple of years, it sounds mad to listen to Glad Work say he could not have a lot of an curiosity in it after the third title is completed and dusted. However possibly once you create a sequence that has the potential to go on and on, you simply need to know there’s an endpoint.
