We do think the game really fits Nintendo's demographic. Remmers: It means we now have games on all relevant platforms! The Nintendo Switch is a brilliant platform with a lot of new players that may not have seen the Lethal League IP before. Shacknews: What does it mean to the team to complete its first Nintendo Switch release? Credits for programming the port go to Maarten en Mauro, by the way. Building a game with an online multiplayer component multiplies these requirements. Due to our NDA with the platforms I can't go into details regarding the requirements, but there are loads of them. The most difficult and time consuming work are the platform requirements.
It helps a lot that all three platforms work together with Unity so "building" a game for the console is not the most difficult task. Not many may know, but the original Lethal League was ported to the Wii U, but we had to cancel that project unfortunately. The only foundation we had was some Wii U experience. This was different for the Nintendo Switch, since this was a new platform for us, where we hardly had any foundation for. Because of updated developing tools from the platform holders, we did have to rebuild some elements but a good piece could be recycled. A big chunk of the architecture was done during the porting development of the original Lethal League. For the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, we had a little head start since we had already released a game on there. Remmers: We started with porting full-time right after the release on Steam.
LETHAL LEAGUE BLAZE ONLINE NOT WORKING PC
Shacknews: What's been the process for porting the PC version of the game to consoles? And how much work did that require, given that it was solely the work of two developers? I think his music is really dope, so it should go in the game! His work has influenced me greatly and, although it turned into a big bonus in standing out as you suspected, the real reason was an artistic choice. Unfortunately, time didn't allow it back then, but I made sure to keep asking him to have a track of his on Lethal League Blaze. Koster: When we made the first Lethal League, I already wanted to feature Mr.
LETHAL LEAGUE BLAZE ONLINE NOT WORKING SERIES
Shacknews: How important has Hideki Naganuma's work been to the team as far as making the Lethal League series stand out? Although the Japanese fans are very skilled players, the American and European players seem to be more competitive and thus participate in tournaments more. Of course, there are cultural differences. So to see the Japanese audience being just as hype about the game as western audiences has made me very happy. Shacknews: You've mentioned that Japan has been an important region for Lethal League's success? How would you compare the Japanese audience to the American audience, in terms of the fan reception for Lethal League Blaze?ĭion Koster, Game Director/Creative Director: When it comes to style, Japanese design of all kinds is where I get a lot of inspiration from. I also think with the choice of 3D graphics, we were able to reach a wider audience. I think it's safe to say most of the people getting into the game were driven by our wild community. However, there was notably less exposure from YouTubers and streamers. In terms of numbers, it did similar or even slightly better in sales than Lethal League. Obviously, it really helped that we had quite the foundation with the original game already. Tim Remmers, Producer/Managing Director: The reception of the game was really good. Shacknews: What would you say the reception to Lethal League Blaze has been compared to its predecessor? As someone with a particular affinity for the series and given that the game has released on all major consoles this week, this seemed like a good time to reach out to the folks at Team Reptile for a chat about the making of Lethal League Blaze, the series' origins, and where it goes from here. It got a 3D graphic overhaul, built on the multiplayer modes, added a solo campaign, doubled down on the wacky characters, and even got some music tracks from Jet Set Radio composer Hideki Naganuma. Lethal League Blaze released on PC late last year and it expanded on everything that made the first Lethal League so enjoyable. Team Reptile looked to have put together a fun, one-off effort. The central premise revolved a mixture of baseball and pong, with two players batting around a ball, with the ball gradually picking up more and more velocity to the point that it becomes deadly to the touch. When the first Lethal League released five years ago, it looked like it had the potential to be a cult hit.
