Codex Interview RPG Codex Interview: Josh Sawyer at GDC Europe 2016

[Infinitron]

it doesn't come across in the transcript but the interviewer had a strong accent and i just didn't understand what he said there.

Face: saved (I still stand by what I said).

EDIT: Oh lol, I think Bubbles posted in that badgame thread.

Oh lol, I think Bubbles posted in that badgame thread. I doubt it was you

Someone else, I don't believe he has an account there.

"Boggle".

He posted audio from the interview. AFAIK nobody has access to that except him, you, Crooked Bee and myself.

Great interview but definitely not lowcarb. Hoch much fat gained Sawyer during this epic ride?!

Really good interview which covers a lot of topics, some which interest me, some which don't. Thanks for the interview and thanks for the transcription.

You're wrong, I didn't like any Obsidian game (except the South Park game ironically) but Sawyer is nice and has good taste in RPGs, I don't think that can be said of every developper out there. His statement that his eventual historical RPG will be turn-based if it ever happens (and it says it will be turn-based , not that it could be) is very good news. Besides it's a very good interview, it's long with detailed answers and doesn't feel like some very forced interview which would last 30 minutes and not one more minute or so.

Imagine a scenario where Obsidian releases a Gold Box-like game before TSI.

Dunno, when was the last time Obsidian could into first person?

Never imagined a Sawyer interview would trigger the Watch to this extent. Not only do they reveal unexpected depths of edginess, but it spawned a 3 page megathread over there.

Neogaf not calling codex den of racism, misogyny and terrorism... Something feels off.

Graveyard threads (i.e. lot of banned users, it happen from time to time with sensitive topic) clean out most withness - people who know who we really are.

 

[jungl]

historical rpg is a terrible idea. How much sales did that russian historical rpg get, couple thousand? Plus what does sawyer know about history isn't he literally some sort of aspergers (retard) and has TERRIBLE german LOL.

Badgamers continue to find our memes impenetrable.

Interviewer: So let's talk about blobbers.
Rope kid: What do you mean by that?
Interviewer: I mean let's discuss them.

increasingly nervous developer: i have no strong feelings one way or the other. let us change the subject
european man: wat is ur opeenion on melmo

uh, counter-question for rpg codex... *tries to surreptitiously scroll through badgame forums on phone under table* what is the general feeling on... *scans le reddit thread* blomby. blomby tane. bepis. bepis tane in our watar.

I still find it bewildering how one can see the word blobber and not instantly think of

Does that forum have a paywall as well? Sawyer seems to be a fan of closed forums.

Not a paywall, just a registration wall.

Gotta keep the riff-raff out.

So what forum is that? Another gathering of braindeads like neofag and SA?

And who the hell asked Sawyer about the Tyranny bit that he had to explain it was because of the accent? To think that he was confused by the title of a game that his company made shows some serious signs of mental disability.

fantastic interview!

p. funny seeing sawyer squirm and not know what to say when blobbers are mentioned. it is obvious sawyer/obsidian do not care for blobbers (or know much about them).

other than that, it did feel like the interviewer kept asking the same sort of stuff over and over.

Well why should he really know the term 'blobber'? I only came across it when I joined Codex. Up until that time I just referred to those games as 'party RPG's' or 'Dungeon Crawlers'. Didn't even see the need for a distinction into isometric,turn based,real time,first person etc. I'm the biggest M&M fan but I never called them or saw them referred to as 'blobbers' until I came here. :shrugs:
