unseen history of bloodborne's most iconic shortcut

💬Discord:   / discord   📹Twitch:   / lancemcdonald   ❤Patreon:   / lancemcdonald   🐦Twitter:   / manfightdragon   This is a look at two never-before-seen layout maps used by Bloodborne's game design team to plan out the world design and interconnection, focusing specifically on Iosefka's Clinic and how it connects to The Forbidden Woods. Along the way, we are able to discover that, as many suspected, there was indeed a time where the balcony overhead the clinic's main open space had been planned to be traversible, but this was discarded in the process of creating one of FROMSOFTWARE's most iconic "looping back" shortcuts throughout their entire game design history. We also see early builds of Bloodborne demonstrating the process through which this iterative design took place. I hope you find this interesting.
