THE BANNER SAGA DEVELOPER SERIES

|| What inspired the masterful and sweeping side-scrolling landscapes that these titles are known for? Is it a lengthy process to create, and were there other media forms that helped you to conceptualize what you wanted the end result to be? We did cut quite a bit of each game before launching, but did it to make the games more concise, tighter and I believe made them much better for having done so. Very happy they did or I don’t think we could have done the complete story, we’d have had to cut it to make it fit the development time. || Was Banner Saga always intended to be a trilogy? Was there ever a time where you thought more – or less – would be better?īanner Saga was initially supposed to be one long story, but a friend talked us into dividing it up into 3 parts before we ran the first Kickstarter. I feel no sadness for having completed the story that we set out to finish and am happy we were able to finish it as we always intended. Thankfully there was and thankfully that community stayed around for the release of Banner Saga 3. When we launched Banner Saga 1 we weren’t sure if there would be a community large enough to warrant another game in the trilogy. Mostly satisfaction and relief I think though.

How does it feel to have finally brought Banner Saga series to an epic close? Are there mixed feelings of pride, satisfaction, and some sorrow, perhaps? We spoke with Co-founder and Creative Director Arnie Jorgensen about what it means to have Banner Saga finally come to a close, and what we get to look forward to in the future from the supremely talented Stoic studio. Stoic released Banner Saga 3, the third and final installment to the beloved Banner Saga series, to a round of much-deserved critical acclaim. As of July 26 this year, the epic Viking saga that began in January of 2014 came to a resounding, and deeply satisfying, close.
