I see that it was announced exactly two years ago. And it still needs a few more months according to the release date. But how come such a game needs all this time? That's a genuine question, not a complaint.
First and foremost, the game uses the same graphical style as the show. Which is probably the easiest to make. You don't even need to make many more new assets, most of the stuff should already exist from the show or the previous game. The new game is based on The Coon storyline it seems so they already have a lot of what they need, in terms of assets.
The story, voice acting, etc needs to be new ofc but still, according to some behind the scenes from the show, Matt and Trey are able to produce a new episode pretty fast. Like in less than a week or so. Sure, the game isn't as simple as a single South Park episode but i wouldn't be surprised if they completed the previous game's voice acting and story in a couple of months. If you watch a speedrun of that game, it feels like a special, longer episode, or like those three parters in the show. But as a game, especially an RPG, the previous game was way too short.
Making a turn based RPG needs balancing, which is probably the hardest part of the development. I assume it's the one part that needs re-testing over and over. So i assume this takes a big chunk of the development time. But does a game like South Park, with that kind of gameplay and number of abilities and characters, need so much time?
I'm basing everything to the previous game. For me it didn't look or feel like a game that needed a long time to be made. Unless the new game is much longer and a bit more complex than the previous one (i hope).
Do you agree with this?
