That said, we had produced adaptations of a number of graphic novels into interactive experiences in Charisma, so felt that the challenge was well within reach, but also that it would push us creatively and technically into new areas &#8211; which was super exciting!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>What are the benefits of working with existing material such as a book, are there any drawbacks?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What originally attracted me to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Kraken Wakes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> were the strong characters and underlying themes that I felt\u00a0 would be perfect to explore more in an interactive format. Where the book is a monologue to the reader, the interactivity that the Charisma.ai platform enables allows audiences to properly feel the events of the story as if they were inside the narrative itself. Starting from the basis of bringing the characters to life was the correct first step, but there were also challenges with the timeline of the book as it skips about in time, and this is harder to create in an interactive space where you and your character are meant to be present in realtime.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>The game uses a unique conversational AI mechanic, please can you explain the process in a little detail?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creatively, we cast the player inside the story itself, able to speak to characters voice in, voice out, which influences relationships, emotions and indeed the story itself. This turns NPCs into the heroes of the game, and makes you feel more for the characters. We wanted to take a leaf out of Hollywood&#8217;s &#8220;Make &#8217;em laugh, Make &#8217;em cry&#8221; maxim, and bring this depth across into the games industry.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How do you see the AI developing alongside the game? Is this a world\u2019s first?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been games that allow a limited level of conversation between players and characters, but none on the scale of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Kraken Wakes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We put the AI capability at the heart of the game design and built on top of that, rather than having it as an aside, and this is both groundbreaking, and also a natural progression for an industry which, through things like Metahumans, is starting to focus more and more on characters. As humans, it is a logical progress that virtual characters should become more relatable to us.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How do you hope players will react to the game?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We want players to enjoy the game, naturally, and also to feel emotionally connected. The themes are powerful, you are spending time with characters who are interested in you, and together you journey through a grat narrative. So ultimately we want players to say &#8220;Why aren&#8217;t all games like this?&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/intoindiegames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Kraken-Wakes-The-Fishermans-Boat.jpg?resize=1020%2C574&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Indie Dev Interview: The Kraken Wakes\" class=\"wp-image-108490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/intoindiegames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Kraken-Wakes-The-Fishermans-Boat.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/intoindiegames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Kraken-Wakes-The-Fishermans-Boat.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/intoindiegames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Kraken-Wakes-The-Fishermans-Boat.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/intoindiegames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Kraken-Wakes-The-Fishermans-Boat.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/intoindiegames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Kraken-Wakes-The-Fishermans-Boat.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Will you be working on any more John Wyndham projects in the future?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have worked closely with John Wyndham&#8217;s estate to bring this project to life, and his star is rising with TV productions of The Day of the Triffids in the works, and last year&#8217;s adaptation of The Midwich Cuckoos on Sky.
