The Great Circle dev consulted Swedish bullwhip champion to get Indy’s whip right
The whip is one of Indiana Jones’s most iconic elements, and in making the Great Circle, the developer MachineGames went to great lengths to ensure that it felt and sounded right.
During the Xbox Gamescom showcase on Aug. 23, Axel Torvenius, creative director of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Jens Andersson, design director, spoke about how Indy’s whip was “incredibly important” to get right from day one. The team even visited a Swedish bullwhip champion to understand the whip better and used “rig mics” to get the sound right.
