Moon Rover Games: Bringing Fresh Gameplay Experiences
Moon Rover Games is a new studio made up of industry veterans, with team members who have worked on series like Far Cry, Battlefield, and Crusader of Kings.
The studio aims to utilize their experience in emergent gameplay to create a new type of game known for its ability to deliver fresh results.
Jamie Keen, creative director at Moon Rover Games, expressed his love for emergent gameplay experiences, where a slight loss of control over how the game functions becomes fascinating.
Players’ joy when encountering a system that seems to come to life on its own is a major inspiration for the team, with Keen citing the unexpected moments in the Far Cry series as a significant influence.
Additionally, the unusual and unexpected moments that occur during Battlefield matches will also impact Moon Rover Games’ creative process.
While drawing from these influences, the studio aims to create something unique, a design that builds upon these ideas but goes further. Combining a compelling story with a map that serves as a playground is the goal, although Keen stated they won’t be aiming for something as vast as Breath of the Wild.
