I started working on the original Salt and Sanctuary nine years ago, and looking back, it still holds a lot of mystery to me. From there, it was a lot of world pieces, monsters, weapons, and more : all hand-drawn, hand-animated, scripted, and placed; a gradual journey to see if the bones of 2D brawling could animate the flesh of this dark fantasy RPG.
For some, the lore stood out. For others, it was the elaborate skill tree. The fighter DNA resonated with some people. But to so very many people, the lack of online co-op was the most egregious omission, which brings me to Salt and Sacrifice. Salt and Sacrifice expands on the world of Salt and Sanctuary by exploring a new era and region, as well as a new role: a Marked Inquisitor. A Marked Inquisitor is a criminal condemned, yet spared the hand of justice in exchange for a lifetime of service in the unending war against Mages: twisted, irredeemable creatures of elemental malice.
Mages roam the world, summoning minions and wreaking havoc. Hunting a Mage is a multistage pursuit in which your quarry is just as likely to clash with rival Mages as it is with you.
For those of you who have played Salt and Sanctuary, imagine pursuing The Queen of Smiles through the village: she summons two rotten crossbowmen, retreats, stumbles right into The Sodden Knight, scraps it out with him for a bit, retreats again, summons a bronze knight and launches a salvo of swords at you before retreating to her lair, where — cornered, desperate, fierce — she awaits you, for a final battle from which there is no escape.
He has a really strong background in network programming. I do not. It probably took me longer to warm up to the idea of programming cooperatively and learning git than it did for Shane to implement bare bones netcode.
Within about a week he had something working. Salt and Sanctuary had co-op that was intentionally obscured and as rudimentary as it comes: local only, same-screen. It was rough, but it was still adored. Because Shane and I are building Salt and Sacrifice from the ground up as a multiplayer game, co-op is much more intentional than it was in Sanctuary. Unlike Sanctuary, which only awarded progress to the main player, Salt and Sacrifice allows both players to share progress.
Drawing inspiration from the Souls series, we also implemented summoning mechanics. Sacrifice emphasizes exploration as much as it does Mage hunts, so you may get summoned to help a player explore a new area, or you may get summoned for the sole purpose of barreling straight into a tough boss battle.
As Sacrifice takes shape, witnessing the impact of multiplayer on a world that is still rapidly growing in density and complexity has been a uniquely cool experience. We still have quite a ways to go, but this has already been one of the most exciting developments in my now strangely long career. Stay tuned for more info on the road to its launch next year on PS4 and PS5. Did you like this? Like this. Wonderful news! I loved salt and sanctuary!
