Experience Report: Kandria - A Game in Common Lisp

In this paper we outline the experience we've gathered while developing Kandria using Common Lisp. Kandria is a video game in the "action RPG" genre and has been developed for Windows and Linux with the SBCL implementation. Being a video game, the project touches a unique combination of disciplines within computer science, and as such provides an in-depth and comprehensive view of the development process of a large-scale project in Lisp, and the general language ecosystem.
