While Gunzilla Games hasn’t quite shown off much of its debut game, Off The Grid, the developer does have considerable clout at Gamescom. In this case, during our trip to Germany, we had the opportunity to catch up with Neill Blomkamp, the director behind District 9 and Elysium, to learn all about his involvement in the game’s creation .
“I find game development to be very creatively cool,” Blomkamp told us. “It’s a longer process than filmmaking, and it feels like you’re always in the post-production part of filmmaking, which is nice. It’s a kind of Depressive situation, you can take it slowly, but it’s fine, I’m getting a creative feel for what we’re doing, and I think it’s going to be cool. There’s a lot of work ahead of us.
Later through the interview, which you can see in full above, we also asked Blomkamp when we can expect a good look at Off The Grid.
“I think around this time next year we’ll be in a pretty good place. How much the players have in their hands and what they see is up for grabs, but there’s definitely going to be a lot by this time next year.
