![]() Gaunt figures perform dark rituals in abandoned shacks while creatures from folklore stalk the twilight. In our weirder Wild West, the sunset paints the landscape blood red and stretching shadows mingle with crawling monstrosities. The Wild West means more than just the traditional rocky deserts and canyons though. Plus all the guns, of course, can’t forget about the guns! Shotgun, rifle, and flamethrower, to name a few. ![]() The gauntlet fit perfectly both in terms of setting and gameplay the vampire hunters got something new against the growing threat, and now we had an awesome lightning-powered melee-centric weapon to create combo-based, fast-paced combat with a spectacular, gory presentation. The response is the lightning-powered gauntlet, developed by the vampire-hunting Rentier Institute, a tool both brutal and elegant. The vampires in Evil West have discovered a new and dangerous power, and now the wild west must progress or perish. Once we did that, so much of the world grew naturally, and we just had to follow the weeds of our creative guts taking us into beautiful, dark, and unexpected places. In Evil West, we uproot European vampires and plant them in the old American West. Another great example is Netflix’s “Castlevania” series, where the monster hunter profession is cast in a different light by very human and vulnerable characters. Take Mike Mignola’s “Hellboy” comic for example, which takes gothic elements and makes them lighter with a laid-back main character.īrian Azzarello’s “Moonshine” comic does a similar thing, mixing vampire tropes with real history to great effect. We’ve been inspired by works which take established tropes and put very interesting spins on them. Weird West is quite a niche genre in games, so we were really excited about all the unexplored territory here. Today, I’d like to dive into the unique world we’ve created for Evil West, and tell you about what inspired the mood, environments, and art in our gothic horror, spaghetti western joyride. ![]() Hi everyone, I’m Tomasz from Flying Wild Hog, Lead Producer on Evil West, our weird west, third-person, action combat adventure game now available for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. ![]()
