In this session Jasper Koning will discuss the development of the studios' first WiiWare game, Swords & Soldiers. The game was the first commercial project of Ronimo Games, a studio formed by graduates who, during their student days, were responsible for the PC version of de Blob. Swords & Soldiers started out as a flash prototype, and transforming it to a complete WiiWare title was a relatively smooth ride. Still, its development presented plenty of challenges. A quirky toolchain, extensive internal delays, and balancing depth with accessibility are some of the challenges which will be discussed.
