Warframe has been around for some time. With the 12th anniversary of the game, it has become a staple in the live service world. Who would have thought of the ninjas in space, the savage barbarians, who were over twenty years old, and had been farming for an hour of melee weapons, which was so tempting for many. During this time, the game has a total of 59 battle frames. All unique, visually interesting, are respectable choices. Except Hora.
But what actually makes fighter jets? How long did it take, how the team cursed all the developers on the on-site service on endless treadmills forever. Well, according to Warframe design director Pablo Alonso, there are a lot of moving parts that determine how long it takes to make a frame, and the exact reason for making a warship.

iGamesNews:How long does it take on average to create a new fighter? From concept to playable.
Alonso: “It really depends on, we're always behind the concept of new battle boxes and always come up with new design ideas. Sometimes you have a very good concept, the demands of the game shift, you have to switch focus and go back to the future ( if any).
“Overall, there are many levels of creating fighter jets, but it all starts with an idea and then you have to think about their abilities, weapons kits and cosmetics and then figure out how to make all of this work with 12+ years of work without any Break, sometimes we get all these levels quickly, and other times we have challenges that require us to go back to the drawing board and try different things, so it’s hard to answer questions in a straight time frame.”
iGamesNews: Can you outline the appearance of the design process? Do you start with aesthetic design and then figure out how to play the game? Is it the opposite, or is it up to the battle box?
Alonso: “It's different, sometimes it will start with a designer who has a good mechanic who wants to explore, and then the concept art team will base it on this design framework. Other times it starts with concept art, and then the designer will Create mechanics and build games based on art, sometimes even based on updates, just like our narrative updates. Somewhere along the line, someone is passionate about it because it usually brings success to fighter jets.”
iGamesNews: Given the quality standards of the fighter jets, can you understand the challenges you face when trying to create a fighter jet. What key points in the development of fighter jets are the most challenging to overcome in a timely manner?
Alonso: “Since we have nearly 60 fighter jets (excluding our main battle box), we now tend to try more crazy things. All the basics are explored at some point, so it's a fighter jet, Its ability depends on luck's luck dice rolls or dice that can be through walls or invisible, and we're always trying something new.”
“With new ideas, it’s always hard to predict the traps you’ve only known before you were there, which tends to mess up the schedule. We try to put enough fill in the prototype and are very diligent in the prototype to find these Potential potential issues as early as possible.”
iGamesNews:As a reward question, do you have an anecdote that best reflects the challenges in the development of the warship? This is a great example of how difficult it is to get the job done and the effort it takes to get the agent on the finish line.
Alonso: We developed the fighter with great transparency, which can be great for early feedback, but also means that sometimes you throw away a bucket of cold water. For Garuda, we initially planned to make one of her abilities she spins and attracts enemies to get cut by her paws. We show this in a separation world, and players simply don't like it. They feel it's slow, and we already have other “spin” abilities that aren't fans' favorites. So, just a few weeks after the release, we canceled the ability and made a new player, which made the players very happy. I think this is a very unique fighter challenge because we are open to game development with the community. ”
