Dev blog: Prototyping Shadowrun

Published by EnragedGnome May 3rd, 2007 in FASA and interviews. 8 Comments

Derek Carrol, Game Designer at FASA Studio, looks at Shadowrun’s development process, specifically the early prototyping phase.

Proving the gameplay on-screen in a borrowed engine (can you guess which one?) allowed us to go crazy with new ideas, many of which we ditched in favor of even better ones.

It’s a pretty interesting read, but the screenshots of the prototype build are by far the coolest aspect of this article. I guess you really could call Shadowrun a mod of Halo 1, at least the prototype build. (good call rapture!)

There’s a new top story over at Bungie.net enititled Shadowrun Shenanigans. In it, the guys from Bungie have a little chat with the folks over at FASA. They talk about Shadowrun and the extent to which Halo influenced their game.

Fun fact from the article – Shadowrun was prototyped using the Halo engine while they worked on completing their own custom engine, codenamed Badger.
