PayDay 2 game director and former EA Digital Illusions dev David Goldfarb has
announced he will leave Overkill to form his own studio. Based in Stockholm,
the as yet nameless enterprise already boasts four staff. It's part of
Goldfarb's determination to "abandon AAA", preferring instead to work on new
titles that shrug off in-vogue development trends.
David Goldfarb离开了Overkill，成立了一家独立游戏公司
目前刚起步，只有四名员工
"I knew that at some point the thing that I always wanted was to make my own
thing," Goldfarb told Polygon. "It doesn't matter who I work with: the desire
was never to make other people's games, no matter how good they are."
“我知道我一直很想做属于我自己的东西，”
No amount of seniority in big development can allow for the creative freedom
he'll be pursuing as part of a smaller studio, Goldfarb continued.
大公司开发游戏时没有自由，所以会坚持小而精巧的公司规模
"I was game director [at Overkill] but I guess at some point you go like
'What does that actually mean?' If I start fighting with people or I'm
restless, you start to see the same things happening. After a while I was
just like 'Maybe it's just time to admit the thing I've been fighting all of
my career,' which is the fact that the only thing that will make me happy is
just doing this myself and not deferring that desire because it's scary. It
just felt like the right time."
“也许是时候该去面对我毕生所追求的东西了。”
“这是一件能够让我开心的事，能够让我做自己，而不是一直逃避这个梦想”
“这决定很可怕，但是我觉得时辰已到了”
On the topic of what he'll be doing with the new studio, Goldfarb said he'd
be veering as far away from current trends as possible. "No MOBAs, no comic
book styled art, no pixel art. Like, those are things I will not do. And
there's nothing wrong with those things, those things are all awesome, I just
don't want to do any of them. I love role-playing games so I will probably
make one."
As for Overkill, it appears to be on the brink of announcing something new
shortly.
对于新作，他认为要远离现今的游戏主流风格
“没有MOBAs，没有漫画风格，没有像素风格，这类的我都不会做”
“这些风格很棒，但我不想跟别人一样。我喜欢RPG，我可能会做一个看看”
