![]() Ultimately the script and narrative are developed closely with the show runners at Caryn Mandabach Productions, and Steven Knight, who approved and contributed to the narrative with new characters. Our lead writer Kerry Kolbe came through a two-day academy we ran with StoryFutures and Punch Drunk. This allows us to incorporate game design, concept art and environmental storytelling into the narrative direction driven by our narrative designers. ![]() We approach writing in a very collaborative way, much like many of the modern TV shows, by having a writer’s room. The game is set in the in-between seasons 4-5 and during 1928 so being historically correct with the world we were creating was important to us, just as in the show. We really wanted to capture the atmospheric and fantastical element Steven Knight had brought to Birmingham, Small Heath. The earlier episodes of Peaky Blinders certainly influenced our art style and approach to music and audio. Through Peaky Blinders we have now developed a lot of our own tools and systems that we intend to keep building on and making the next projects easier to evolve.ĭid you look at particular episodes of the Peaky Blinders TV show for the mood you wanted to evoke? We use Unity as our engine but really had to start again when it came to tools and technology, though we had learned a lot through the development of Doctor Who. What engine and tools did you use to make Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom? Is it the same tech as Doctor Who: The Edge of Time? The team really wanted to push the boundaries on the most technically challenging platforms and ensure the amazing high-resolution graphics we had created at source could be delivered to the Meta & Pico audiences. Meta Quest 2 and Pico are confirmed but we are hoping to announce further platforms soon. I think our approach in collaboratively working with the showrunners on Doctor Who helped prove we would approach the project through the eyes of the IP and also that we had experience in working with talent. So yes, we had to pitch the concept to both Banijay and Caryn Mandabach which involved a pitch deck containing the premise for the story we wanted to tell, some prototypes and references of the game we wanted to make and a lot of passion for the IP. Though the show was originally commissioned and aired by the BBC the rights belong to the Banijay Group and Caryn Mandabach productions (the show’s producers).ĭid you have to pitch it, or did they come to you? Even those who are unfamiliar with the television series should be impressed with the level of detail and the overall gameplay.It naturally seemed a world and genre that audiences would love to be transported to in VR. An amazing VR experienceĪnyone who enjoys engrossing virtual reality games, such as Spider-Man: Homecoming - PS VR, will definitely enjoy what Peaky Blinders: The King's Ransom has to offer.

From exploring the dismal streets of Birmingham to participating in gang-related activities, every decision will impact the outcome of subsequent gameplay. Open-world explorationĪs this is an open narrative, players can choose which actions to take. ![]() Furthermore, Cillian Murphy and Paul Anderson provide the voiceovers themselves. One of the most appealing features of this game is that players will have the ability to interact with their favorite characters, thanks to a decidedly realistic AR experience. ![]() This will be no easy task when we consider the reputation of the Peaky Blinders. However, he or she will first need to prove that they possess the mettle to undertake various nefarious activities. The player will take on the role of a criminal who wishes to join Tommy Shelby's notorious gang. ![]()
