It was a really great time, and no matter where our devs are, it's important to share these types of moments together. We even took some time to do something fun and non-work related-a virtual escape room where we had to work together to help someone on camera find their way out. We held a hybrid-style event with people onsite while others joined remotely and the team showcased their work to everyone at BioWare. Hitting Alpha was the culmination of so much effort from the entire team and we used this milestone as an opportunity to come together and celebrate. Now that we have the ability to do a complete playthrough, we can iterate and polish on the things that matter most to our fans. We can take the story we’ve written and see if we’re expressing it well through the characters, dialogue, cinematics, and ultimately, the player’s journey. Gathering feedback from multiple sources gives us the greatest insight on where we need to spend more time improving the experience.Īdditionally, we can now evaluate the game's pacing, how relationships evolve over time, and the player’s progression, as well as narrative cohesion-essentially how the story comes together.
The big question now is, “Where do we focus our efforts?” To answer that, we solicit feedback from a number of sources, including our Community Council members who each have unique perspectives and experiences, our quality verification team, and extensive internal playtesting. First and foremost, we can now turn our sights toward bringing the visual fidelity to its final form and iterating on gameplay features. Of course, the game is not finished by any means, but Alpha is one of the most important game development milestones for a number of reasons. We can see, hear, feel, and play everything as a cohesive experience. Now, for the first time, we can experience the entire game, from the opening scenes of the first mission to the very end. Up to this point, we’ve been working hard on the various parts of the game, but it’s not until the Alpha milestone that a game all comes together. Well, we’ve come a very long way since then, and the team is incredibly happy to announce a huge step forward in the development of the game you now know as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf™ : We have just completed our Alpha milestone! In my last blog, back in February, I talked about the next Dragon Age™ game entering the production phase.
