Or make Arx sequel.
Or take Prey2 (that bounty hunter game) and rebrand it under different name.
Either way
RIP

Who knows, they could still make a nice game and surprise us. Shame that not many of us play multiplayer only games.

Make the Codex Great Again!

ZERO!

Kipping muscle-ups and pull-ups are a cheating, dangerous exercise.

And here I was surprised he would be able to do a muscle up, before I clicked the play button.

Glad to find another Codexer that follows Elgintensity. :obviously:

Raph will do some lecture about storytelling in games at MIGS 17 (December 11-13): http://www.migs17.com/en/events/sto...rration-techniques-and-dynamic-story-telling/

MASTER CLASS: STORIES WE TELL OURSELVES – NON INTRUSIVE NARRATION TECHNIQUES AND DYNAMIC STORY TELLING
Game Design Master Classes

We’ve been telling stories in games for the past decades, yet, many games still rely on the use of cut scenes and CG cinematics inspired by the movie industry. While there is nothing wrong with this approach, there are other techniques that take advantage of the interactive nature of our media in order to push the narration in games and create more powerful experiences.

Audience: Game writers, Game Designers, Level Designers, Producers and anyone who is interested in story telling in games.

Pre requisites: No specific knowledge is necessary to attend this masterclass, other than an interest for games and narration in games.

Main goal: This Master class offers an overview of story telling techniques that can be used in games that does not use traditional cut scenes, but instead rely on a variety of elegant and systemic approaches for stronger immersion.

Detail of the content: The Master class alternates between short lectures related to narration techniques and practical exercises. One of the recurrent topic will be how can games offer a space of possibilities, the boundaries and depth of that space being defined by systems and story context, but ideally the story being generated from what the player does and experiences rather than what writers and designers planned. Another topic will be how to direct the player and making him the protagonist of a story instead of using cut scenes. Also, the attendants will have the opportunity to design a procedural quest system together, as part of the dynamic story telling topic. Finally, attendants are encouraged to propose the games they currently work on as study cases.

Format and Teaching: Lectures and exercises.

Teaching materials: Students will be provided with basic stationary and a computer with the necessary softwares.

Underworld is too close to being finished for him to have enough any impact.
