Rather I use procedural tricks and fairly abstracted shaders to do the heavy lifting. So I don't work with a painting or material editor or even something like photoshop to create the material expression of my world.

Indeed, it's better described as no pre-made textures. In a video by Digital Foundry covering The Falconeer, they mentioned that the entire game is created without using any conventional textures, is that true? If so, what made you choose this approach to game design? Part of the different campaigns you'll participate in, inside this world, is to figure the true goal and history of the Mancer Order, and with it the Ursee. The Mancer order doesn't involve themselves with the daily politics of factions such as the empire in which most of the game takes place, they have a hidden agenda with a long term goal. If a king has the Mancer's favour he'll get steam engines, if he loses it, he might find his competitor suddenly has machine guns. They manipulate and organise the other factions by doling out these technologies through permits and grants. One major faction steering these societies are the Mancer Order, an organisation that has access to a wide array of technologies hidden away in their massive vaults. Mankind has always had a hard time surviving on it, and societies have been founded and collapsing for millennia, leaving the seafloor scattered with wrecks and ancient relics. The world of the Falconeer is called the Ursee and it's a bleak yet beautiful icy ocean world. Well, I love lore-heavy worlds, for me, it makes exploring an open world so much better if the setting makes sense and has depth. What can you tell us about the setting of The Falconeer?

I've been reading the extensive lore and set-dressing you've meticulously written to create a cohesive world for your story to unfold in. It's not just the game itself you created. The actual combat gameplay is very WWI-WWII style close up dogfighting but with giant falcons, dragons and other fantastical creatures. but with lasers', which is a fair description. Someone online described it as 'what would happen if Gandalf had ridden into Mordor on a giant eagle. So basically, you are a pilot or rider of a giant Falcon and you serve as a mounted warrior for your faction, doing air -combat missions as well as open-world exploration. Well, it's a throwback to the games I loved as a kid, Freelancer, Tie Fighter even Crimson Skies, and - of course - a good dose of open-world love inherited from Skyrim thrown in.

For our readers who've not heard of the game, how would you describe it? From the screenshots and gameplay videos, it looks fantastic. Tomas is the sole developer of the upcoming game ' The Falconeer'. I think that diversity is now coming into its own with The Falconeer. I've also been creative director and game designer over the years. I'm a 3D artist by trade, but I'm more than handy with a scripting language and nowadays C#. I've been working there since 2001 and have always been a multirole person. How long have you been working in the gaming industry and what roles have you taken up during that time? So we rolled into educational and advertising work for hire, making games for anyone and everyone, it took many years to progress into entertainment games properly eventually creating PSVR exclusives for Playstation as games for the Wii, Switch and mobile. But at that time there was no self-publishing, I think Steam wasn't live yet and iPhones would be years away. I actually started straight out of art school in 2001, we started a studio in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Thank you for joining us for this interview Tomas (aka muppetpuppet). So, going back to the very start, when and how did you first get into gaming?
