Ultimately I work on whatever projects the owners want me to work on. What kind of budget are you aiming for, though? An ISO-TB RPG with the budget of Alpha Protocol probably isn't going to happen, but could you make a smaller game with a small budget, and build on its possible success? Indies manage with no money at all. Without Hudson, I think Aliens would feel a lot different (worse). Aliens is more of a horror/action hybrid, and humor is used much more regularly to break the tension or lift the mood, even after everything starts going to hell. There is very little humor between the characters, even at the beginning, and it drops to dead serious after *~ sPoIlErS ~* Kane dies. That was one of the most notable things for me when I was watching a lot of Alien/Aliens.

Humor is a great way to relieve tension among characters and in the audience. You have to be careful about how much you apply so you don't ruin the overall experience.

If the game is fundamentally serious, humor should be thought of as seasoning. How much humor have you found really needs to be put into a serious game to raise its quality?

It felt like working two full time+ jobs and I think it impacted the quality of everything I was doing.

The Black Hound project took up too much of my free time. If a game has great game play and not a lot of big moments, to me that's a lot more acceptable than a game with bad game play and a bunch of big moments.Īre you still working on The Black Hound? If not, WHY? If you are, how's it coming along? Big moments can be nice rewards for players, and they are nice press/talking points, but they aren't game play. I think the original Deus Ex was made in an era when 'big moments' (sorry if I'm simplifying too much here) were hard to portray in-game. It was aimed more towards a simulation rather than a game experience.' What do you think of this as a game developer? The lead designer of Deus Ex 3, Jean-Francois Dugas, stated 'There weren't enough exciting, memorable moments. It rules, though I have a spotty playing history with it: I, III, V, VI, and that's it. It's a shame, because I don't believe that the fundamental mechanics of Thief are tremendously difficult to implement in a lot of engines. Unfortunately, I believe most RPG developers either don't consider stealth to be worth implementing at all or only worth implementing in a minimalist fashion. Why d'you reckon that in the 12 years since, no RPG developer has been able to incorporate stealth mechanics to the same degree of success? Is this issue really as simple as player skill v.

Thief: The Dark Project came out in 1998 (!). My favorite team-based multiplayer FPSs are Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Tribes (original), and Left 4 Dead. I only played CS a few times and never really got into it. We were doing some interesting things with character interactions and game play, and I think that the setting was novel for an RPG.Īre you good at Counter-Strike? If somehow you got the chance to finish only one of them, which one would it be and why ? I know that's a common answer, but it's the truth.īaldur's Gate III, Van Buren, Aliens. It's probably still Radiohead's OK Computer. However, I do think that games with top-down/isometric combat (like the gold box games) can still be viable in some markets. In that sense, I don't think the genre will ever move back to the Wizardry/Might and Magic era. I think that CRPGs are now defined heavily by how they allow the player to express the personality of their character(s) in meaningful ways throughout the game. Do you think computer roleplaying games can go back to the simpler and more focused style they had when Wizardry, Might & Magic, or Pools of Radiance were popular? Do you feel the kitchen sink approach has really stretched content and variety today?
