I recently wrote to you, dear readers, about a promising new arcade shoot ‘em up from Konami and Scottish developer KeelWorks called Cygni: All Guns Blazing. The next-gen top-down shooter is releasing in just a few short weeks on August 6th for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. In preparation for launch, the team at KeelWorks have taken us behind the scenes of the game’s development in a three-part video series, which just wrapped up over on Konami’s YouTube channel.
It is a fascinating look at the many challenges of game development (and there are many), including KeelWorks having to pick-up and move the team to Scotland in search of favorable working conditions. The series also explores the studio’s burgeoning relationship with Konami, the game’s soundtrack, and more. Check out episode one below:
