In spite of Overwhelming Achievement, Clair Obscur Developers Intend to Keep Team Small
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 isn't just an impressive Game of the Year contender, it’s also an enormous sales triumph. Developer the development team along with publisher their publishing partner announced that the game surpassed five million copies in sales, this is even with its status as a day-one release through the Game Pass service.
The game's performance came as quite an unexpected turn to Sandfall. “I was strongly believing that we would have a good game that would meet some average sales results,” a key executive stated.
A technical director remarked the game's critical score, rated 93 by critics, came as perhaps “maybe the biggest shock for everyone relative to our early predictions and the final result turned out to be. When the score released all staff members were cheering loudly. It was really frantic.”
This triumph resulted in the studio creating a complimentary expansion for the title featuring fresh areas, foes, and boss fights, reportedly will release in the next few months.
Nevertheless, while the game is growing, don’t expect they'll hire extensively. “We have an excellent group guided by a visionary director who has a great vision for our work and also for new ideas. Our goal is to maintain the human scale that led to our success and do maybe one big game after another,” the producer said.
Their team size drummed up a storm of discussion following launch. A few well-known creators, such as the famed director, considered this studio as the “ideal” for a studio. While Sandfall was and is relatively lean versus large developers, a quick look at Expedition 33’s credits indicates numerous contributors participated; Sandfall partnered with overseas animators to work on gameplay animations, for example.
“We plan to recruit a little more definitely if we have an increase in development down the line,” the producer commented. “Yet I picture essentially a craft studio of a few exceptionally gifted creators that create a work of art together.” It was stated that Sandfall’s vision as a studio “focuses on preserving the strengths that made this achievement possible in the first place.”
While it may be too early for Sandfall to say specifically regarding upcoming titles — believe me, I attempted to learn more — they are certain their fundamental principles. “The turn-based aspect, forms the foundation of our creations,” they remarked. “It's still premature to be able to tell what will interest us, yet we must to stay true to our creative core featuring rich storytelling and engaging mechanics that excites us.”
The lead programmer noted that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 started with the creative director “work[ing] on his dream game. We aspire this approach we will be able to do as well for future productions.”
