"In fact, for the first year and a half or so, it was just a demo as far as I knew. They sort of said, 'Well, we're going to start recording in earnest now.' And I went, 'what the hell do you mean? We've been doing this for ages!'"
"With this project, it was interesting because they kind of, I don't want to say they kept changing the goalpost, but we started off recording with cards of the different parts of Pywel, you know, various characters and 'he's from this faction and he's from that faction.' And I kept just saying, 'Yes, but what is happening?'"
"Newman says that about halfway into the process, he had to push Pearl Abyss to write more of Kliff's personal arc into the story. The whole Greymanes thing, after about two and a half years, they decided they really wanted that to resonate, this idea of family and trying to bring something back together."
Pearl Abyss' open-world RPG suffers from chaotic development, resulting in a disorganized game with too many ideas. Actor Alec Newman, who voices Kliff, experienced a tumultuous five-year recording process marked by a lack of direction. His character's name and backstory changed frequently, complicating his understanding of the plot. Newman had to advocate for more depth in Kliff's personal arc, particularly regarding themes of family and unity, which became a focus after two and a half years of development.
