Interview With Overlord Director and Lead Designer, Lennart Sas

The folks at Riott recently sat down with Lennart Sas of Triumph Studios. Sas’s latest project has him as the director and lead designer of the upcoming Overlord. In the interview, he discusses how they came up with the idea for the game, how the minions will function, and why they look a lot like the little monsters in “Gremlins.” Apparently they drew on a lot of inspiration from past games and few movies to create give the player a comedic, but evil route in the game. Also, he confirms that the PC and Xbox 360 versions will be identical. He even gives a nice shoutout to the past adventure games from Lucasarts, which makes him okay in my book.
