Stansilas Mettra is in the news again, but this time he has more pleasant things to say \u2013 like I Am Alive running for an impressive six to eight hours of gameplay.<\/p>\n
In addition to this, Mettra talks to IncGamers about a more focused design, in which the digital-only release helped to keep the gameplay more streamlined.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019ve managed to keep [I Am Alive] below the 2 gigabyte mark,” said Mettra. “It became a creative constraint.<\/p>\n
“Creative constraints are generally always a good thing as they force you to concentrate on what is essential. Focusing on the immersion and the tone of the game helps us create a main character that you actually care about.<\/p>\n
“For example, all of our objectives make sense, our cut-scenes are focused and the architecture of the buildings has been designed with the core tone always in mind.<\/p>\n
“All of the details that we aimed for are still there and the constraints of releasing via digital helped us to shape those. But it\u2019s not a short game, it\u2019s around six to eight hours long.”<\/p>\n
