I wanted to create a game that people recognised and felt familiar with but was completely different, hopefully getting the best of both worlds. It also allowed us to move forward with technology. The reason for that is that we wanted enough to have changed that new players could come in without the feeling that they've lost anything, but enough that the original players were interested to go back. So, when we came to planning Beneath a Steel Sky, there had been a gap of 26-years but in the game, there had been a gap of 10-years. We're very lucky that we've had this extraordinary following for the game. Then there was this cheer that went out when I mentioned Beneath a Steel Sky, and these are people that were likely not born the first time it came out.

This week we spoke with Revolution Software co-founder Charles Cecil about making a sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky 26-years after it originally launched. To highlight all of the hard work that often goes on unseen in the background, is reaching out to developers to learn more about the general rigmarole of releasing a video game, with our ' Making Of' series. And in the current mobile market, that's only the first step in having a successful game. No matter the size of the game or how long it ultimately took to make, each new title involves a lot of hard work, hard decisions, and a little bit of luck before it even gets out the door and onto devices. The process in creating a game is a difficult, long and often stressful process, but it's one that can reap many awards alongside actually seeing your ideas come to life.
