The Defiant Developer Explains Why The China Front Belongs In An FPS
Game Spark interviewed Kong YuHeng, producer of The Defiant, a story-driven FPS set in China during the 1930s and 1940s. Kong said the China front has been depicted in games relatively rarely, that the era is important history with many stories worth telling, and that the team wants overseas players to encounter an unfamiliar perspective. Development draws on public historical materials, video records, research, and on-site surveys, with level design adjusted so the setting still works as a game.
