Volume
With the success of Thomas Was Alone behind him, developer Mike Bithell has been hard at work on his next game. Volume is a futuristic telling of the Robin Hood story, featuring stealth gameplay and sharp, polygonal visuals.
Today, Bithell released a video showing off the paint-brush style level editor. Using the controller, players can map out floors, walls, lighting, props, enemies, text popups, and more. The feature works on both PlayStation 4 and Vita.
Bithell also says that community feedback will be incorporated into the process, and the game will expand along the way. He and his team will be listening to players, with the potential to add more creation tools and expand the engine’s capabilities.
Volume will be out first on PlayStation 4 and Vita in late summer. You can read our most impressions of the title from GDC 2015 for more information.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
