Sekuyiminyaka engu-18 kusukela lapho amazwi athi “Siyakwamukela endaweni yethu!” kwezwakala ekuqaleni komdlalo oyinganekwane wokulingisa i-Gothic. Lesi cishe isizukulwane empilweni yomuntu kanye nezigigaba eziningi ekuthuthukisweni kwemboni yamakhompyutha.
Kuthiwani uma uthatha into eyayiyinhle cishe eminyakeni engu-20 edlule futhi uyinikeze ukubukeka kwesimanje, isibonelo usebenzisa i-Unreal Engine 4, kuyilapho ithuthukisa nesistimu yokulwa, eyayibuthakathaka kunezinye izingxenye?
Ukuze uthole ukuthi abalandeli beqiniso be-Gothic bacabangani mayelana nenguqulo yesimanje yehlelo lokudlala indima yakudala, i-THQ Nordic kanye nesitudiyo esisha sase-Spanish i-THQ Nordic Barcelona senza isilingo. I-prototype yegeyimu yamahhala isivele itholakala kulabhulali ye-Steam yabasebenzisi abangabanikazi banoma yimiphi imidlalo ye-Piranha Bytes: Gothic 1-3, Risen 1-3 noma ELEX. Bazokwazi ukudlala inguqulo ebuyekeziwe ye-Gothic futhi bazulazule ezindaweni ezisesigodini sezimayini zaseKhorinis. Futhi kufanelekile ukusho ukuthi izinga lehluzo nokugqwayiza liye laphakanyiswa izikhathi eziningi.
Ngemva kwesethulo samahora angu-2 ekubonakaleni okungaba khona kokukhishwa kabusha okuzayo, umdlali ngamunye uzocelwa ukuthi agcwalise inhlolovo. Lokhu kuzovumela i-THQ Nordic ukuthi yazi ukuthi iqhubeke nokuthuthukisa inguqulo ebuyekeziwe ephelele ye-Gothic noma ishiye izinkumbulo ezimnandi zomdlalo omkhulu zingathintwa.
Kubonakala sengathi phakathi nenqubo yentuthuko inkampani yayinokungabaza mayelana nokwelulekwa kokutshalwa kwezimali okwengeziwe, okwakudinga okungaphezu kwalokho obekulindelekile. Ngamanye amazwi, labo abakwamukela ngentshiseko ukukhululwa kabusha okunjalo, kuhle ukuba bakhuthale futhi babonise umshicileli isithakazelo sabo: “Sizoqala intuthuko egcwele kuphela uma umphakathi ubonisa isidingo senguqulo ebuyekeziwe yesi-Gothic.”
Inkampani iphawula ukuthi noma ngabe isinqumo sihle, inguqulo ephelele yokukhishwa kabusha kuzodingeka ilinde isikhathi eside: “Sizodinga ukuheha abantu abaningi, siqashe ihhovisi elikhudlwana futhi sidale kabusha i-Gothic kusukela ekuqaleni. Njengoba sithuthela ku-Unreal Engine 4, singasebenzisa kuphela indaba, umhlaba, umoya, umculo kanye nengqikithi ye-Gothic. Zonke izici zobuchwepheshe, zonke ihluzo, wonke umsindo, wonke amasistimu wegeyimu azokwakhiwa kabusha abe sezingeni lika-2020.”
