Designing an indie real time strategy game TFC: THE FERTILE CRESCENT

April 15, 2022 11:20 AM

André Read always wanted to make a real time strategy game. A huge fan of the genre, it was many years working in the industry before he got his chance with TFC: THE FERTILE CRESCENT set in the plains of Mesopotamia.

Teaming up with Anders Grønningsæter the two person team at Wield Interactive have crafted a multiplayer RTS game built with their Discord community that reimagines the classic format.

SIFTER is produced by Nicholas Kennedy, Kyle Pauletto, Fiona Bartholomaeus, Daniel Ang & Adam Christou. Mitch Loh is Senior Producer and Gianni Di Giovanni is our Executive Producer.

Thanks to Omny Studio for their support of SIFTER.

TFC: The Fertile Crescent

Wield Interactive

Some good ninja stuff, good samurai stuff, it took them a long time to get here but boy I'm glad they did.

Pros:

Naoe feels like the old assassins from previous games
Yasuke definitely doesn't, which is very welcome change
Absolutely stunning world that feels busy and lived in

Cons:

Maybe the world actually might be too big?
It's an evolution not a revolution, if you've bounced off Assassin's Creed in the past this doesn't break the mold.
