Videogamer has released a new interview with the producer of the LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 video game, Loz Doyle.
The feature includes almost 20 new images and can be seen here, thanks to Snitch Seeker.
Q: Hogwarts is the biggest single area you've ever created. Is there a danger players will get lost or not know where to go next?
LD: We have the same concern ourselves. In year one, while the whole of Hogwarts does exist, you can't access it. We lock off doors, areas, you can't go outside right at the beginning. You start in the common room, and even though it feels like you're in Hogwarts - you see the main hall and you're like, oh this is huge - you can't go in very many places. Right at the beginning you can only go and do your first lesson. We guide the player to that first lesson. There's nowhere else they can go. So despite the fact that they can mess around in a few rooms on the way if they want, there's no chance of them getting lost because there's only one place to go. And then after that there's only another place to go. We gradually open up Hogwarts so the player can get their bearings. As the years progress we open up more and more and more, until year four - when you should know your way around by then - it's all open; the grounds, the secret rooms.
Q: Are you able to backtrack and go wherever you want at that point?
LD: Yeah.
The LEGO game will be released this May and can be pre-ordered below:
