Default Sanctus Grotto Dev Diary

Sanctus Grotto houses some of the most challenging content in Tabula Rasa bringing players up against incredibly difficult enemies and even a clever jumping puzzle. Attempting to stop Bane forces from recovering an Eloh Artifact, this instance can take hours to complete and represents the pinnacle of the end game. A lot of work went into designing this unique area and World Builder Tom Potter was at the forefront of it's creation. What was his experience like? He opens up in this Dev Diary and recounts his time working on Sanctus Grotto.


"Sanctus Grotto was an instance that was in development for some time before I started working at Destination Games. I joined the Tabula Rasa team late in development, so my job was to take the initial vision to completion. The conceptual foundation was already complete so you'd think that there wouldn't be much left for me to do. But Sanctus Grotto is a perfect example of how even "final" designs are often in a state of flux, and how making a few small changes can quickly multiply into something much larger."

Check out the entire feature right here.

What an awesome Dev Diary. I love finding out that they redesigned the whole area to make it flow back round in a circle. That sort of thing makes me realise how much Dev's care about making something right. No matter how much work was involved recoding that area they did it to make it work with the story and gameplay.

Very nice instance. I have done it a few times now. Can't wait for more.
