The lovable dog Mutt from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 wasn't created using motion capture with a real dog. Instead, a human actor meticulously mimicked a dog's movements. This unusual approach was employed for scenes involving Mutt's interactions with human characters, offering a more practical solution than working with a live animal.
A behind-the-scenes video showcases a human performer embodying Mutt during key moments. This allowed the human actors to easily visualize Mutt's position, fostering more natural interactions despite the absence of a real dog on set.
While the developers haven't revealed the actor's identity or the frequency of on-set barking, their dedication highlights the ingenuity and resourcefulness of game development. This unsung hero's contribution brought Mutt to life, proving that courage—and canine charm—can come in many forms.
This collaborative effort enabled believable interactions between human and digital dog. However, the mystery surrounding Mutt's human counterpart remains, leaving fans eager to learn more about their contributions.
