| GAME ENGINE |
History of the development of the game Manor Lords
Manor Lords is a strategy game combining elements of city planning and military tactics, developed by independent developer Gregor Žakelj. The project began development as an ambitious solo endeavor, designed to combine realistic city planning with complex military strategy in a medieval setting.
Development Manor Lords started a few years ago when Gregor, inspired by classic strategy and city building games, decided to create something unique with his own vision. The desire to make the game realistic and detailed required extensive research into historical sources on the architecture, economics and military tactics of medieval Europe.
The project became noticeable after the publication of the first trailer, which showed a detailed world and complex mechanics. From now on Manor Lords received the attention and support of a wide audience. Gregor actively communicates with the community through social networks and forums, collecting feedback and suggestions, which allows him to improve the game, making it more attractive to players.
Despite being developed by an independent developer, the game exhibits a high level of polish and attention to detail that is typically found in larger studios. This is achieved thanks to Gregor’s passion and creativity in creating the game, as well as the use of modern technologies and development tools.
Graphics in Manor Lords
Graphics in Manor Lords was designed with an emphasis on realism and detail to accurately convey the atmosphere and aesthetics of medieval Europe. The game uses high quality textures and complex models to create an impressive visual experience.
A lot of research was done to create a realistic look for all elements of the game, from character clothing to building architecture. This made it possible to recreate exact copies of medieval buildings, fortifications and village huts. Attention to small details such as wood grain, stone wear on buildings, and weather effects enhance immersion and create a sense of a living world.
Lighting plays a key role in creating atmosphere Manor Lords. The dynamic lighting system responds to changes in time of day and weather conditions, changing the shadows and lighting of the scene, adding realism and visual depth.
Game engine Manor Lords
Manor Lords is developed based on the Unreal Engine, which allows you to use advanced graphics and physics capabilities to create a detailed and realistic game world. Unreal Engine is ideal for implementing complex visual effects and vast open worlds, which are critical to creating an authentic medieval atmosphere.
Using this engine also allows Gregor to integrate complex real-time weather systems that impact gameplay such as farming and warfare. Elements such as snowfall or rain are not only visually impressive, but also require players to adapt their strategies as conditions change.
The engine also supports an advanced AI system for non-player characters, which makes the behavior of city residents and enemy troops more realistic and predictable. Military tactics in
Manor Lords recreated taking into account historical realities, allowing troops to use formations and strategies characteristic of medieval military tactics.
Unreal Engine’s animation and rendering capabilities help create smooth, lifelike animations for human characters and animals that enhance the immersive experience of the game. These technologies allow characters to interact with the environment and each other in a way that looks convincing and natural.
The game engine also provides high optimization, which allows the game to run smoothly even on average computer systems, making Manor Lords accessible to a wide audience of players. This is important because the game has great potential for scaling and further development, including adding new gameplay mechanics and expanding the game world.
Overall, the use of Unreal Engine allowed Gregor Jacquel to create a visually impressive and mechanically complex world Manor Lords, which not only stands out for its style and medieval atmosphere, but also offers deep and interesting strategic gameplay. This combination makes the game a significant innovation in the strategy and city-building genre, offering players unique challenges and opportunities for exploration and conquest.
