In this exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Team Miaozi's Lead Programmer Brian Cox and Producer Oscar Lopez discuss the upcoming Cygnus Enterprises, a combination ARPG and management sim from the newly formed studio with plenty of intriguing ideas.
Upcoming game Cygnus Enterprises combines ARPG and management simulation elements to create an incredibly unique experience. The sci-fi game aims to be a lighter title than many of the post apocalyptic space-set titles of recent years, set on a lush alien planet called Mytilus where players will build up a base. The game comes from Team Miaozi, a team consisting of many industry veterans who have worked on titles like the Far Cry series, Total War, and Sea of Thieves.
So when we joined NetEase to make this project, there were only a few of us. I believe Oscar and me were within the first five people who joined the team, and now we're approximately 55 people. And then we had to go through hundreds of resumes, we hired people from all over the world based on their skills. And we made a very diverse team with people with a wide array of skill sets.
Then also for the atmosphere, as Brian mentioned, our creative director wanted this positive atmosphere, this idyllic world where you would like to live in, right? So for the base, we were inspired a lot with Stardew Valley. When you play that game, you feel so relaxed, and you enjoy walking around and getting to know the villagers and to do your little tasks.
Oscar Lopez: Actually, there is another point to add to this, which is: why this positive sci-fi? Well, Eva, and all of us, we grew up with Star Trek, right? So we wanted to go back to those roots of positive sci-fi. Meaning, if you think about it, nowadays a lot of the sci-fi worlds that we get to know in video games and also in films are much more post-apocalyptic ruin, or kind of decadent, so it doesn't look like the future is too bright.
Yeah, I'm curious about the characters as well. Again, I'm sure it's something you can't reveal too much of, but the trailer seemed to set up two characters, one that came off as a little cocky and overconfident. Is there anything you can tell me about those guys? Oscar Lopez: Well, I think so. So, you see two characters, right? One is the main player, the player character, which is going to be basically the main character in the story, which is fully customizable.
So at the start of the game, it's more combat focused. But then later, the more buildings you've restored, the more buildings you've built, the more visitors and employees you have in your base, then the base management part will take more time.
