Question 12
July, 2021 - [No Link]
A: These images are from an early tech demo that was built for potential publishing partners. None of the UI is functional from what I recall, but you could maneuver characters around a shared dungeon environment, demonstrating the multi-player nature of the game. You'll note that the large open terrain AC was known for is missing from these images. That's because the tech to display that environment hadn't been created yet. It's also worth mentioning that this kind of demo is what secured Microsoft's interest in the game.
Q: There are a few very early screenshots of AC that look nothing like later development or beta screenshots. Could you elaborate more on these? When were these from? Were these from a functional version of the game, or were they mockups of possible UIs?
