Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

[Jedi Master Radek]

There is no world domination on this list

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Yeah, he'll never be taken seriously as writer with a down to earth portfolio like that. It needs something eccentric and wild. An exhibition of his own paintings, made by feces from his flock of pet monkeys, or something like that.

 

[Rev]

Chris, since you're reading, stop wasting your time doing minor (and mostly useless) work on other people's games. We want a game with your vision from beginning to end, that would be interesting, not a single quest or an NPC in RPG X.

Like one about the existential crisis that wolves present

Do you really want that if his heart's not in it?

Of course not, I just hope he still wants to take a bigger role again, instead of just writing/designing small stuff.

Prolonged exposure to Fallout Shelter makes you click the air in front of you, hoping for the sound of caps. It's like a Vault experiment all in itself.

Wayside: Also, I can't even recall if I got paid for Grimrock, it's been so long. I did enjoy writing the treatment, though, so I don't care overmuch.

Mr. Avellone. While you are here. Have you ever written a character while laying in the bathtub?

Serious question. My brain enters a new plane of function when I'm taking a bath, but it goes away as soon as I leave the bathroom

Also, does he have any pics

y'know, of the brainstorming session

You guys give "Human Stretch Goal" a whole new meaning.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

I've just googled Human Strech Goal and the first result was goatse.cx

 

[Kev Inkline]

It must google algorithms adapting to your search history. I get Fargo's tweet about BTIV.

Not that I would judge.

 

[Lurker King]

Since he is afraid of Clowns

No clowns are allowed​

And it must be a game with an interesting narrative concept to hook the player right rom the get go and the gameplay must be designed around this concept.

About the interview:

Fairfax: MCA Appreciation Station wants to know if you're up for a podcast?

MCA: Sure, but let me pace out some other ones first (have had to postpone a bunch b/c of work, but that's not a bad thing, work is great).

Fairfax: No problem, glad you're enjoying work! Oh, and I said podcast because someone suggested that at first, but people seem split on text/audio interview, so whatever you prefer is fine.

MCA: Text would be fine, my voice is kind of terrible to listen to, but whatever you guys would prefer.
We'll figure it out.

What? MCA's voice is like the choir of angels.

 

[Excidium II]

Lispy valleygirl angels.

 

[Kev Inkline]

Lispy valleygirl angels.

Those are the best angels out there.

 

[Daedalos]

I like how codexers are normally vile savage unruly creatures that scream decline in every devs face, but when Chris comes around, everybody turns into a pure gentleman.

Oh hello dear fellow, Mr. Avellone. Can I ask thee a question regarding the prospects of game design? I would really rather enjoy it!

Not that I mind :D

Those guys at the right don't have stylish modern suits and ties though. Maybe it was intentional?

 

[Got bored and left]

I'd say it looks more like this:

 

[Alienman]

Projection.

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

Text, or at least voice with a transcript.

That's because Avellone is awesome.

Podcast all the way.
