They're each persistent worlds that can be customised to the player's own liking - they can mine into it, place blocks or build whatever they like, and they're also afforded the option to decorate them with cosmetic items. Players start the game on floating Home Islands, little outlets that hover in the sky. Look past that, though, and you might also glimpse the potential for something else entirely. Its debt to Minecraft is obvious from the off, from its UI to its colourful, simple and toy-like world. Original might not be the first word that comes to mind when you initially cast your eyes on SkySaga, though. Developed in the UK in partnership with South Korean gaming giant Smilegate (they're paying the bills), SkySaga is, in a fair few of the developer's own words, a 'free-to-play, original, endlessly evolving, multiplayer, online, sandbox PC game.' Its first project, SkySaga: Infinite Isles, is a game the studio has been working on for just over a year. Radiant Worlds is a relatively new studio, formed after the voluntary liquidation of the Oliver Twins' last company Blitz Games. We're not here to look back, though, and instead have been assembled to see what's next for the pair. Andrew sips coffee from a mug emblazoned with a ZX Spectrum logo, while Philip's own mug proudly displays that lovable egg from the 48k era, their most famous creation.
Sat across from me in a roundtable session at Radiant Worlds, the new studio set up by the two men responsible for one of the 80s' most evocative gaming icons, are the Oliver Twins themselves.
