Interview

Fadzior was willing to answer a few of our interview questions, Read on to learn more about his development of Primage!

• How long have you worked on Primage?

  I’ve been working on Primage for 3 years. The game has been rebuilt from scratch three times because, with each day, I learned more about Fusion and realized I could do things much better. Every version was a step forward—rather than sticking to weaker foundations, I chose to tear them down and improve them. Despite these restarts, I never abandoned the project. For me, it’s more than just a game—it’s a challenge I’m determined to see through to the end.

• How were you introduced to Clickteam/Fusion?

  My journey with Clickteam started with The Games Factory 2, where I created my first prototype. Later, I moved on to Multimedia Fusion 2, experimenting with various projects and gradually honing my skills. In 2020, I decided I wanted to build a full-fledged game, and from that point on, Clickteam Fusion 2.5 became my primary tool.

• Tell us about what inspired the game and how that inspiration influenced design decisions.

  Primage was inspired by several games—the world of Far Cry Primal, the RTS mechanics of This Land Is My Land, and the random event system similar to RimWorld. Initially, I planned to make an RTS, but over time I added survival elements, then RPG features. Soon after, the idea of multiplayer emerged, turning the project into a massive undertaking. I fell into the trap of feature creep, but after thousands of hours of work, I managed to implement nearly everything I’d envisioned. Nearly—because I’m still planning to expand the game with new features and improvements.

• What challenges did you face in developing Primage, and how did you overcome them?

  The biggest challenge was learning the tool itself—figuring out how to implement mechanics effectively and efficiently. Every new system required experimentation, testing different approaches, and optimization. I often had to rework code because I’d discover better ways to achieve certain functions. On top of that, balancing gameplay and ensuring smooth performance, especially with a procedural world of this scale, was a constant hurdle.

• In what ways did Fusion help speed along your development?

  Fusion significantly sped up development by letting me focus on creating mechanics rather than wrestling with code. Its visual event system allowed me to quickly test and implement new features without writing complex scripts. But Fusion has been more than just a game-making tool for me—while working on Primage, I’ve learned advanced algorithms, performance optimization, and better ways to design game systems.

• When can we expect the full game?

  The game is currently in the playtesting phase, and if everything goes according to plan, it should launch in Early Access within the next 3 weeks. I want to give players a chance to jump in early, gather feedback, and continue developing the game based on their input.

• Any message for aspiring game developers?

  The most important thing is to start and not give up after the first setbacks. Every project, even if it doesn’t get finished, is a valuable lesson. Don’t be afraid to experiment, rethink your approach, and search for better solutions. Above all, make games you’d want to play yourself.
