Games Made by Gamers: 'Lies of P' Documentary Explores Development Philosophy

Following its global success, platform expansions, and the steady progress of its sequel, 'Lies of P' continues to make waves. Now, the developers at NOUGH Studio are sharing their development philosophy through a new documentary.

On the 1st, the official Lies of P YouTube channel posted a teaser video titled 'NOUGH Studio | Games by Gamers.' The video begins with the belief that while it is impossible to satisfy everyone, it is possible to create a game that satisfies many. The team acknowledges that despite receiving praise for its story and world-building, the game may not have satisfied every player, and they express their desire to craft stories that resonate with and immerse as many people as possible.

The development team also touched on their fundamental principles for engaging with players. They believe that because they are gamers themselves, players can tell when a game has been crafted with genuine care. Director Choi Ji-won stated, 'If we aren't satisfied, players will know and be disappointed,' adding that they always approach development with the mindset that they are players themselves.

Personal reflections also stand out. One developer shared that there was a time they lost interest in games, only to rediscover the joy of gaming while conducting internal playtests for Lies of P. The fact that a developer who had drifted away from games found their original passion through their own project suggests that the development process itself was a special experience for the team.

The video concludes with a commitment to ensuring that as many people as possible can enjoy the game in various ways, and a pledge that their goal is to create the world's best action game, one step at a time. While the video does not contain specific details about their next project, it offers insight into the standards by which the team evaluates and develops their games.

Released in September 2023, Lies of P is an action RPG that reimagines the story of Pinocchio. It garnered significant attention even before launch as a console Soulslike developed by a Korean studio. It achieved global acclaim, winning three awards at Gamescom. The game has since continued its success, surpassing 3 million copies in cumulative sales and reaching 7 million cumulative players. It has also expanded its world with the release of its expansion, 'The Story of the Prince.

As the title 'teaser' suggests, the full video is scheduled to be released on August 7.
