Although before, by what to get a high score. However, developers of other game studios, such as Bungie and Riot Games, have praised Eldon's Ring of Law, believing that the game builds a grand open world and is very efficient in design.
FromSoftware's effective reuse of enemies, buildings, items, and other resources in Eldon's Circle of Law sparked a lively discussion among game industry developers. Katie Chironis, Chief World Designer at Riot Games, noted: "Some changes in key props and art can create areas with many different sensations. "Many places look similar or identical, but on closer inspection there are some differences."
Chironis and several other developers speculate that Eldon's Ring of Law uses tool-generated buildings as a base, and then embellishes them to add some extra vibrancy. Although the specific development process of FromSoftware is not clear, there is no doubt that they have turned it into a science in the process of designing this huge open world.
Tom Farnsworth, senior design director at Bungie, said: "FromSoftware has done a lot of work in terms of fog, weather, lighting and color grading to make every area look different. This shows how important it is to really differentiate player perceptions rather than add unnecessary diversity details, which makes development much simpler. ”
Failbetter Games' Bruno Dias argues that Eldon's Ring of Law does a great job of reusing resources, and FromSoftware reuses resources effectively, such as familiar churches that blend with the local environment, crawl with local plants, or are smashed and look like a new building, and his views are shared by many developers.
It has also been pointed out that Eldon's Ring of Law not only makes full use of its own resources, but also reuses resources from FromSoftware's previous games, such as enemies, bosses, and scene animations, and places them in some inconspicuous places.
"Resource reuse" is often used as a derogatory term or mistaken for cutting corners. But in reality, as games like Eldon's Circle of Law have demonstrated, it's a common, valuable technique that can create more ambitious games and reduce development time. Imagine if everything had been built from scratch, the Eldon's Ring of Law world would have been much smaller than it is now, or would have taken more time to develop.
