After starting the project in January 2024, he developed the <em>Acts of Blood<\/em> with nine of his friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the process, the publisher and partners involved also fully supported the creative decisions, including the game's explicitly violent approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Farjul emphasized the importance of local representation. He wanted to show the atmosphere of other cities in Indonesia that are rarely seen in games, while introducing Bandung through a visual approach, environment, and distinctive architectural style.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/playeatsleep.fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Acts-of-Blood_location-1024x304.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10843\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bandung was chosen for its geography and weather conditions that support the game's setting, from the cool city atmosphere to the transition between urban and mountainous areas. This combination also helped the design team to create a more varied level environment that didn't feel visually repetitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For its first project, Eksil Team has deliberately kept the scale of the game affordable. The story will focus on an intense and concise revenge narrative. However, the game also provides additional modes such as arenas, collectibles, and achievements to extend replayability. If the response from players is positive, they are open to making a sequel with the same approach. <em>open world<\/em> small scale such as series <em>Yakuza<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Acts of Blood<\/em> became the only Indonesian game present on the main stage <em>Summer Game Fest 2025<\/em>.
