Peria Chronicles Compared to Minecraft by Dev Team

2P.com has a translation of an interview with the Peria Chronicles team conducted by Korean site ThisisGame.com. The interview centers around the less-than-stellar reception of the game during the recently held G-Star 2016 convention where players hoping to find Mabinogi 2 were disappointed. In the most startling portion of the interview, developers said that Peria Chronicles is more favorably compared to Minecraft than it is to Mabinogi 2.

Other snippets of information include:

• the team loved both negative and positive comments about the presented demo
• devs admit that the demo was poorly optimized
• those looking for Mabinogi-style game play were disappointed
• UI elements are created by players and can be traded among them. This includes buttons, windows, etc. Mobs can also drop UI "props" that can be collected
• players are encouraged to create content including molding terrain
• the game is not focused on combat, but on creation
• instances are built by players
