FIND FIVE

 

[Morality Games]

Since when the fuck was Torment a BRANCHING narrative game ? Narrative, yes. Branching ? What fucking branching ? Maybe my memory is slipping, but I don't remember any branching in Torment. Just the usual fake C&C, only tastefully done.

The critical path didn't branch but it was highly interactive, and the world itself had a lot of side encounters with a fairly robust range of solutions. Some of them affected the critical path, like finding that sword that can slay an immortal.

FIND FIVE

The RtwP on the notepad was a stroke of genius. It would have been amazing to change only that and see if you could spark a panic.

Those liars, that table isn't round. How can we trust them with our money?

Who is everyone there? I see GZiets, CMcC, Steve Dobos, Nathan Long, Tony Evans, and three I don't know/can't see (Although I think I know who the bald guy is).

edit: guessing the blue guy on the left is Jason Dora, the web guy?

That is obviously Colin's stunt double. Just without his stunt beard.

 

[Lhynn]

There's just no way they could make the kind of games the Codex wanted to see, at that size.

Etc. The codex asks for little in terms of graphical fidelity we want to see stuff more interesting than pretty graphics, we want to see stuff that can only be produced with a lot of talent, with good of ideas and the right mindset.

Haha you wish. "The codex" has a lot of graphical complaining, while Darklands and KotC are played by only a minority of posters.

That sentence is so depressing...

I believe the hawaii-shirt guy is Kevin Saunders. And the girl next to the right is Mur Lafferty.

 

[Sensuki]

Nah the Hawaiian shirt guy is a designer, read the twitter feed. I had the same feelings about the second bit though.

 

[DosBuster]

Hawaiian shirt guy is Joby Bednar, he was lead scripter on Wasteland 2.

Around the table:
- Jason Jacobitz
- The Blessed Virgin/my personal head masseuse, helping me channel the holy muse as I respond sarcastically to Joby.
- Me
- Steve Dobos
- George Ziets
- Brian's personal "moderator"
- Nathan Long
- Herve, overseeing us all
- Eric Daily's head
- Jesse Farrell
- Alisha Klein
- Brian Fargo
- Joby Bednar

Kevin is just off screen to the left. Jason Dora is taking the picture.

Such bad posture from almost everyone at that table. Don't they know they're bound for years of back pain. oy vay. /Jewish Mom

But seriously I lost track of this project like 6 months ago, what's happened recently? Anything of note, or still a massive amount of silence and white noise.

This is the sad, ugly truth. Often those shouting decline in threads for games they don't like are the first to criticize a game for its aged looks as well.

It's in production. They're assembling scenes. They were working on the Bloom last I heard.
