Our awem team is grateful to fans like you for buckling up to play Golden Trails. Thanks to your desire for great adventures and puzzles, we've decided to continue the series. Here we give you a peek into the development process and share a few secrets.
Choosing the Theme
When we started working on
Golden Trails 3, we wanted to create a new experience while improving the game. As you know, the Golden Trails series began as a traditional Western that morphed into a story about pirates. Now we take you to another world, the world of Templars.
Golden Trails 3: The Guardian’s Creed is based on the many legends about the Templars. The Templars theme has grown popular in recent years, and its stories intrigued our team. We've done pirates and cowboys, so the next theme was a no-brainer.
Our artists wanted to delve into fantasy realms and let their imaginations fly. We had to rope ourselves down and remember this was a continuation of the "Golden Trails" series. We put our heads together to find a way to create a realistic setting while capturing the mysteries of Templars.Creating the Atmosphere
Although the events take place at the turn of the 18th century, the player gets a taste of medieval history, the epoch when the Order of Knight Templars originated. The mysteries of Templars spill over into the story as its past affects the
Golden Trails 3 characters' lives.
Details such as ivy on the walls, characters in monks' robes, and Latin writing in stone transport players to medieval times.A few of the locations represent medieval times.
Spiritual inscriptions, medieval armory, and statues contribute to the medieval atmosphere in the game.Developing the Main Characters
All the characters must meet our high standards and, of course, represent the time they live in. So we had to work on every little detail of each character – from clothing and hair style to facial expressions and poses.
