11 bit's Project 8 Developed in Cooperation With Psychologist
We have learned that a clinical psychologist assisted in the development of Project 8, one of the new games from studio 11 bit.
We still don't know much about Project 8, the new games currently in development at 11 bit studio (and has been for years). But now we have learned an interesting fact about the development process.
- Clinical psychologist Elena Mecheva reported that she helped work on Project 8.
- Mecheva, of course, could not reveal any details about the game, but she revealed that she supported the developers in their "journey through the maze of emotions and behaviors," as well as analyzed the work model of team members and suggested changes.
Recall that at the end of last year, 11 bit studios informed that it has plans for as many as ten new games, which are being developed on Unreal Engine 4 and 5. One of them is precisely Project 8 - a short teaser of the game was shown at the time, available above.
The location, seen in the video, has a fantastic character. Consultations with Elena Mecheva suggest that psychology will play an important role in the game, so it's possible that during the game we will go exploring human minds..
Recall, that Project 8 first appeared on our radars around 2018, but until now the developers have not shared any detail about the game. In addition to this project, 11 bit is currently developing, among others, The Alters and the strategy game Frostpunk 2.
