Gothic 1 Remake | Podcast #04: Art & World Design 

Let's pay a moment of respect to recently shut down Piranha Bytes. Without them, none of us would be here today.

Your latest release was absolutly what we fans wanted!! Guys you are on the right track. Can't wait.

What would Gothic be without Kai’s music, thank you for that! ❤

I missed these podcasts so much! More please

We asked for a podcast and we got a podcast. Thank you, THQ, thank you, Alkimia :)

I am sick right now and I always go back to gothic, it has helped me get through the hardest stuff. Words can't express how thankful I am for this remake. The sect camp was my favorite, by far the most atmospheric camp, hope you do it justice. Hopefully I'll still be around when it releases. 😂 P.s. carmageddon reboot next and I'm complete!

The voiceacting in these podcasts really shows you how serious they are about staying true to the OG😂😂

I always have to imagine what a world would look like were the whole world plays and celebrates gothic. There is magic in the essence of this game.

Finally a new episode! Great news: Lumen UE5!!! And gameplay footage on 2nd August! Thank you all for this great series of podcast! Awaken!

Thanks a lot for the Russian subtitles guys!!! If Kai is on the team, I'm calm. It's going to be a good remake!

I feel like there is a Great Team Working on the Gothic Remake, putting a lot of Blood and Sweat into the Project so we can all have the Game we are desperately waiting for since Years. Keep up the good Work Alkimia! ❤

By the time I was hearing this podcast I imagined myself walking with these guys arround the Valley of Mines but in the old poligonal style from the classics 🤣

Thanks for the new episode! I was waiting so long for it. You guys also need to do something about the marketing of the game. Most folks have forgotten that this game is in production. Wish you the very best

Easily the best podcast done so far! Not only we got the info as usual but damn if it was immersive, just like listening to a story, great work!

Чекаємо на 2 серпня!!!...йухху...сподіваюсь нам скажуть коли дата виходу🤘

Hear them talk makes me think those guys know what they are doing. More confident now that they could deliver. At least they have the knowledge, tech and ambitions. Lets hope they get enough time and money.

С нетерпением ждём игру, друзья❤ Кай, братик, мы хотим побольше таких душевных подкастов😄

The idea of an adventure and podcast is amazing :D Love the sound effects!

I didn't have high expectations for this episode, but I after seeing it I can say that it's pretty good. Good work and I can't wait to see the showcase trailer!

Amazing episode, thank you very much❤ The Ukrainian community is waiting with pleasure for the THQ Nordic showcase😉 And still, there is little hope for text localization of the game for our community

Claud Lorrains landscapes are beautiful, definitely a great art direction for Gothic ❤❤

'Is it safe to use the ladders?' Hahaha, please keep on ladder of the old design and place it somewhere. True fans will chuckle :)

can't wait for some gameplay ! I hope you take inspiration from fan created mods too :)

Dear Reinhard and the entire team at Alkimia: THANK YOU for listening to player feedback and creating what appears to be a modern but faithful remake to the first game (gameplay, visuals, voice acting, and world design all look outstanding), and also for bringing Kai Rosenkranz on board! Hope you will all get the chance to remake Gothic 2, Night of the Raven, and eventually a complete re-imagining of Gothic 3. You have the trust and confidence of the Gothic community right with you ♥

Ich freue mich wahnsinnig darauf! Muss aber vermutlich vorher meinen PC upgraden 😅

I think it would be a good idea to measure the visibility of the barrier on how far away you are from it, adds to the sense of scale.

im glad that the appropriate priority was given to characters complaining about the weather when remaking a german game. thanks for this stellar content!

Nice to hear another podcast, after news about piranha bytes (closing studio) I played Elex all day today to enjoy their last baby, still good game, and nice to hear about gothic.

I love the radio drama aspect of these podcasts, really entertaining. Looking forward to playing the game, i suspect well see some gameplay footage at the upcoming THQ Nordic showcase.

I have so say: I’m ready for this!

So we never knew why that cog of the machine in the old mine was broken. And now we heard someone was ominously there before the game released... Im watching you, Alberto, im watching you!

Спасибо за русские субтитры! Удачи вам на геймском!

З нетерпінням чекаємо на дату виходу 💛💙

Unreal engine 5 lighting? Oh yeeeea 🎉

Really well done podcast. The sound design is awesome.

With Daniel as the art director, I have no concerns about the visuals of the remake. His passionate storytelling about the overall artistic vision is truly inspiring!

What a great immersiv Podcast. For sure more of them

I really like listening to these podcasts.

Вот это нам надо

Can't wait for it. Hyped. Pls dont Ruin it

i saw some ppl still asking where's the gameplay . At THQ Showcase in August 2nd it will be revealed.

Cool, thanks)

Well, this was awesome to listen to. Good job!

I have hope again..❤

Guys, when are you releasing gameplay footage? I know nobody has asked this question before. If you could answer my question at least 4 times, that would be great. ;)

The realism is important, monsters dont need to be over the top, on the contrary they must be believable and kicking your ass even if they look like they are just wildlife.

Oh my goodness. This is getting surreal. The minecrawler sounds were so on point. Now we could just use a bit of gameplay guys. PLEASE! :)

fantastic news^^

Please give us Gothic 2 for xbox and ps too. Btw I love the podcast and look forward for the remake.

Ждём ремейк с нетерпением. Удачи вам ребята!

haha, I can tell you guys had a blast with the minecrawler bit.

Liebe für Kai!

Have you mentioned when you plan to show gameplay? ;) Thanks for the Podcast

UE5! Hell yeah!!

I have question too, when we whould expect gameplay footage?

That was a great Podcast Thank You!

it could be something big big big coming here, take your time to make it perfect

Всецело поддерживаем вас! очень было интересно узнать о визуальных аспектах и в принципе художественного направления. яростно ожидаем Августа!😁

Lol the ladder joke at 15:24

It was mentioned three times that gameplay in August at the show xD

Nice work ❤

WE HAVE WAITED, THEY HAVE DELIVERED MY BREATH IS BAITED TEARS OF JOY, A RIVER

Neue Infos zum Gothic remake? Immer her damit! 😄

Here we go baby

Cannot wait for this game! Hope they can also use ray tracing to some extent, maybe shadows and reflections etc.?

love you guys! thanks for the more details❤

LETS GO !!!

I'm most worried about the colors, the locations in the pictures looked faded and it looked like the game was taking place in the desert

oooooh gameplay showcase.

Каждый подкаст интригует. Жду не дождусь игры. И когда там гемплейные ролики то?

Ue5? Damn. I hope there will be DLSS upscaling and Frame Gen. Or we're gonna play at 20fps like the original game 😆

I hope the gameplay is good

Niech nadejdzie przebudzenie Śniącego

Release the GAME! angrE

There will be loading between big areas like the old mine as in the original or none like in Gothic 3?

make every dev involved play gothic 1 for a while so they actually know how it felt like

All these comments about how much still needs to be done indicate the game premiere will be in 2025.

Will there be DLSS technology in this game?

Also when you say the New Camp is completed, does this mean the free mine is done too?

El bueno de Dani entendió todo. Esperemos que esto se empiece a encaminar el 2 de Agosto. Todo irá bien.

The best Polish GAME ever made!!!

The gameplay at Gamescom was pretty good and reminiscent of the original in many ways. I just am a bit concerned with the enemy AI which at times felt unresponsive and sluggish. Is it because it was toned down for the demo? I hope this isn't the current state of the game

Having a new podcast is nice ...but when will we see some gameplay?

Thousands of characters? Something doesn't add up :D

Ваші подкасти дуже цікаві, дякую що ділитися інформацією про розробку! Жаль що не додали субтитри українською в цей подкаст...

New Camp ost: 28:13

😘😘😘😘😘

more guys

So is it coming this year or not?

Don't look to views, we wait gameplay and release date. But we old, and many persons dont look youtube.

Andre Taulien? Isn't that the guy who made d3d11 for the OG?

any Jorgensons here? :D

The Orcs were different. The marsh grass did not sparkle.😢 A lot of soap in the landscapes, no vibes of autumn, animation curves.😢 What will be the character's progression?

Ok this Dani guy sounds like he would be a pretty good fit for the voice of Diego. Just needs to work on his pronounciation a little.

Why don't you guys show any gameplay?

There must be a lot of pressure on the dev team. Gothic fanbase are zealots and the original games are quite sacred to them. And Gothic is basicially it's fanbase. I myself own more than 5 copies of the first and the second game.

Надеюсь русская озвучка будет

Why did you ask the gameplay question 3 times?😅
