Interview: Visual Concepts discusses building the perfect team for Lego 2K Drive, working with the famous toy company and more
Lego was very interested from the very get-go. I don’t think of them as a typical licensee partner. They really were interested in the gameplay, the presentation, what the world looked like, what the vehicles felt like, every step of the way. So we worked very closely with them all the way through the entire process.
The Forza Horizon series recently did a Lego collaboration of its own. What was your reaction to that and what was the reaction internally?e were actually well into development before we even saw that, we didn’t even know that that was coming out. It was just announced. So we tried it and it’s obviously very well implemented.
When you started on this project, what was the process of building the team and bringing people into Visual Concepts in order to pull it off?Well, it was a fun and lengthy process. Obviously, the most difficult part is getting the right people involved for a project of this scope. We were lucky enough to have a fairly core established team that was skilled in this genre to start. And so that was a real leg up from the very beginning.
It’s an iterative process, and it really takes a lot of time to build the right team. You don’t want to just say ‘Hey, let’s get whoever we can’, especially for something of this scope and magnitude. So it’s just how you hire over time. You find who fits and you carry on, you find more people and you move forward. There’s no real magic secret to it, although as soon as we told people we were working on Lego it was very easy to get people on board.
What’s something that someone brought to the team that changed the way you thought about the development of the game?We actually had the vehicle transform attached to a button, then somebody on the team came to us and said, ‘We should make that automatic transform’. And my first thought was like, ‘That’s impossible. I don’t see how that’s going to work, there’s going to be false positives, and we’re not going to catch every case’.
