I really like Blizzard right now. Well, in what sense?... Earlier I could not stand this game with its old ugly graphics. It is a different story with Genshin Impact or Black Desert.
In Black Desert I got bored.
Genshin Impact has too long empty locations and identical quests. Yes, it relaxes, but it is not cozy. Everything is too clean and neat.
When I suddenly entered World of Warcraft... I saw many jumping characters around, some parties and a quite intense plot with funny moments.
I thought modern games really lack this humor. Absurd? Guys, why are you so serious, it is fun after all. We come to games and read comics to relax and have fun, since when has this become a character fashion show and super boring quests without meaning for the sake of “that costume”?
Then the trend on Labubu and monster toys shocked me, and the release of the Cult of the Lamb game which earned 90 000 000$ with its amazing mystical vibe with black humor. You want to ask why they watch this, it is terrible horror?
From the point of view of psychology people feel tension and passive aggression, especially on the internet. They want to be a “hidden agent” in this world of threats with some super power, to feel safe.
And at first I was making Witch's Pie and thinking about Hayao Miyazaki... I thought it would be just a simple cute story about girls in some anime, but then I thought no, it is boring, this is not what they expect. I reworked the plot and introduced the guys.
At first I thought that the enemies would not have exact outlines, but according to classical theories the enemy should be visible and appealing, and also have its own opinion.
I started to return more to the classics and, of course, looked toward the influence of Blizzard products.
Therefore, in the Witch's Pie World classic heroes will appear something like orcs, gnomes, elves, dragons but of course I will add something new, different.
In the novel Dan and the Dragon Maiden this kingdom is described in which the events take place.
