You may remember Adam Aequotis Berry from his role in the creation of the shiny metropolis of Westpoint - his latest effort, called Catalné, spurns the modern world for a vanished past, and an idealised world of quiet rural life.
“Medieval is a massive interest of mine,” says Adam. “Ever since I was a little kid, I was interested in making bows and arrows, making model castles. I kind of realised one morning, ‘Hang on, I can make this sort of stuff in Minecraft as well!’ It has re-awoken my childhood a little bit.”
“It’s kind of based upon a bit of a childhood fantasy,” he continues. “It’s a massive forest - extremely tall, very dense - you can get lost easily in it. There are little villages dotted within, little streams, lots of detail - the kind of things a child might imagine but recreated in a realistic way, so it’s got realistic architecture, realistic farms and such.”
