Trent Kusters chats with Sean Gorman (Lead Designer) and Mark Ranson (Art Director) from Void Interactive, creators of the tactical first-person shooter, Ready or Not. Together they discuss how the studio balances realism, tension, and storytelling without glorifying violence; their “fear every door” design philosophy; lessons learned from AAA development; and how they decide what to cut or keep to focus their vision.
