After long months of waiting, a new and lengthy presentation was released for the project of the Korean development studio NCSOFT, which bears the name Project M, in which it showcases a demo in which some scenes and shots from inside the game engine appear.
A new game project from Korean developer NCSOFT Studio, which bears the temporary name Project M, is largely inspired by the narrative and interactive works of French developer Quantic Dream, which many players are familiar with.
We also learned that this promising project is being developed using the Unreal Engine 5 engine, as the engine was able, and based on the developer’s words, advanced technological technology was presented to the developer NCSOFT by embodying realistic graphics, cinematic production, facial expressions, expressive movements of the characters’ faces in an elaborate manner, and also using artificial intelligence techniques. In developing this interactive adventure.
The project's creative officer, Taekjin Kim, confirmed at the recent GDC 2023 developer conference and by appearing within the game's presentation to showcase the power of the technologies used across the State of Unreal platform, in which we shared a short video earlier that is considered the second official presentation of the game reviewing some of the gameplay footage that we have been waiting to confirm. The quality of the product looked absolutely amazing.
What is Project M?
The Project M game project is based on interactive events, such as we saw with the French developer Quantic Dream’s games in Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human. According to what the developer reported, it will present many stories and endings depending on your choices as a player, and depicts an interactive dramatic and science fiction story about a man’s revenge for the death of a man. His girlfriend or family, but its reliance on the QTE interactive gameplay method may limit the developer’s ability to attract the largest number of players.
The place where the game's events will take place is located in Korea, specifically on Incheon Street, which is linked to the story's narration, where the developer made a great effort to embody the daily environment of real life in a virtual world. This is despite the large gaps between reality and the game, but what helped them do this was scanning operations, adjusting specifications, and redesigning levels.
The developer confirmed through the official website that what was shown was from the actual game content, that is, from within the game engine, where we saw how the characters interact and their features and actions appear as if you were watching a CG show and not from the game, and what helped in this was 3D scanning, motion capture, and VFX or Visual effects.
