    Oh, and you can still rock climb. One of my designers wants to add a "look under the hood" button to character creation, to expose the numbers. We will explore that option.

    Development Info Tim Cain at Reboot Develop 2017 - Building a Better RPG: Seven Mistakes to Avoid

    Wow, long thread. I will admit I don't have time to read it all, but let me say this. I think there has been a misunderstanding of my talk. I never said I don't like complex systems, just that I don't like the presentation of so much complexity in the first few minutes of the game, like in...

    Interview Chris Avellone tells all on My Favourite Game

    I asked the writer of that dialog if it was intended as a dig against Black Isle Studios, and he said it was. Which surprised me, because he was never angry with Feargus or Black Isle Studios. In any case, I apologize for this dialog, fifteen years too late.

    Interview Chris Avellone tells all on My Favourite Game

    That sticker does not refer to Black Isle Studios, but to BIS, the Scottish indie band, which I really like, btw. Their album, Plastique Nouveau, had come out while Temple of Elemental Evil was being developed alongside of Bloodlines, and several of us on ToEE were listening to it a lot at work...

    Arcanum Journey to the center of Arcanum concept pitch

    We added sprite mirroring to reduce video memory usage. We only loaded the first five rotations and then mirrored the middle three, which saved vram. We left the art on disk with the intention of adding an option later to disable mirroring, but other fixes took priority in the patches. We never...

    Arcanum Journey to the center of Arcanum concept pitch

    Drog, Aha, that helped me find it! Yes, I sent this to a Russian fan in 2011. I had trouble finding it then (and now), but I found my email to them, which led me back to the original document. I had trouble finding it because it was not under Troika Designs or Arcanum 2 folders, but under a...

    Arcanum Journey to the center of Arcanum concept pitch

    Not at all. What I am saying is that I cannot tell you who wrote this. I have three or four treatments for JttCoA, and they are all different. One I remember writing, and it is full of game system ideas, for skills and attribute changes. Another is written from the basis of using the Tribes...
