DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

Search: History Untold — is an ambitious 4X strategy game that is being developed Oxide Games. The game was first presented to a wider audience at the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase in 2022 and immediately attracted the attention of players with its unusual approach to the genre and a deep alternative history system. The developers set themselves the task of creating a new experience in the world of strategies, avoiding the typical limitations of traditional 4X games and paying special attention to cultural peculiarities, diplomacy and freedom of choice.

AraHistoryUntold 2024 09 22 20 51 51 309

Inspired by the series Civilization, where many of the team members worked, Search: History Untold aims to offer players a more flexible progression system. The development process began with finding a balance between traditional mechanics familiar to fans of the genre and the introduction of innovative solutions. In the early phase, the developers created a physical tabletop version of the game to test the main concepts and game mechanics. This helped speed up the iterations and understand which elements could be improved in the digital version. This approach allowed the developers to understand at an early stage which solutions work best to create a rich gameplay experience and avoid typical mistakes that are often found in other strategies.

AraHistoryUntold 2024 09 22 20 50 53 034

Search: History Untold is distinguished by its unique approach to technology research. Unlike many strategy games that use a linear technology tree, this game develops in a non-linear manner. This allows players to adapt their civilization to current needs and external conditions, rather than following a predetermined path. For example, one civilization may focus on the development of navigation and trade, while another chooses to focus on military technologies. The variety of approaches makes each playthrough unique.

GRAPHICS

Graphic component Search: History Untold — This is one of the game’s strong points, which sets it apart from other 4X strategies. The developers used modern technology to create a visually rich world that highlights the uniqueness of each region, culture, and civilization. The game features a variety of biomes: from deserts to mountain ranges and forests, which creates a sense of scale and liveliness of the world. Cartographic elements such as rivers, lakes, and oceans are highly detailed, and each section of the map has its own unique aesthetic, complementing the overall impression of the gameplay.

 AraHistoryUntold 2024 09 22 20 50 48 005

The developers have implemented a dynamic lighting system that allows for realistic shadows and reflections. Thanks to this, every change in time of day or weather conditions significantly affects the visual perception of the game. Fog, rain and even snowstorms present in the game not only add atmosphere, but also complicate the players' strategic decisions. All this provides a high degree of immersion in the gameplay, where each move seems to be part of a living world.

 AraHistoryUntold 2024 09 22 20 51 03 466

Additionally, the unique architectural styles of each civilization have been carefully crafted to visually reflect their cultural characteristics. Cities and settlements look organic, changing and evolving over time, allowing players to see their civilization's progress in real time.

GAME ENGINE

At the heart Search: History Untold lies powerful Nitrogen Engine, which was specially created for large-scale strategy games. This engine allows you to process huge game spaces and thousands of units simultaneously without losing performance. One of the main features Nitrogen Engine is its ability to distribute the computing load across multiple processors, making the game smoother and more optimized even on devices with different configurations.

 AraHistoryUntold 2024 09 22 20 51 55 016

thanks Nitrogen Engine The game can support a huge number of interactive objects, such as buildings, units, natural elements and diplomatic structures, interacting in real time. This is especially important for 4X games, where complex economic and combat systems require instant processing of data and interactions. For example, the game's system of building and developing cities depends on resources and technologies that can be combined to create new improvements and units. The engine allows you to handle all these complex chains of interactions without problems.

 AraHistoryUntold 2024 09 22 20 53 52 109

Innovative solutions built into the engine include not only city and unit management, but also adaptation to weather conditions and changes in the geopolitical situation. This makes each game session unique, where the player's decision can affect the outcome of the game, and the engine will flawlessly handle all changes occurring on the map.

DIFFERENT QUALITY MODES

Minimum settings

With minimal graphics settings in Search: History Untold, players can expect simplified textures and basic lighting. Objects will have a limited draw distance, and visual effects like shadows and lighting will be reduced in quality. This will help maintain smooth performance on systems with minimal specifications.

Maximum settings

At maximum graphics settings, the game reveals its visual potential with high-quality textures, improved lighting and realistic shadows. This allows complex scenes to be displayed in high detail, creating a cinematic experience.
