Silk is a tribute to the late Mike Singleton, especially his ground-breaking 1984<br />
game The Lords of Midnight, and development is being directed by Chris<br />
Bateman, designer of Discworld Noir and Ghost Master.<br />
The engine used to produce the world of Silk has an identical design to the original<br />
‘landscaping engine’ that Mike Singleton designed for The Lords of Midnight,<br />
although it uses 2D assets rendered in Unity to create a more vibrant feeling<br />
wilderness with retro roots and a contemporary lo-fi vibe. All the exploration and<br />
warfare of the original is here, along with trading and recruiting Advisors who<br />
make up an RPG party inspired by the Clan Ring of King of Dragon Pass.
