disappointed that the simulation missed this opportunity to do a funny thing

Bloodlines, on the other hand, was in the 'not an existing fan' category - that is to say, I wasn't familiar with it beforehand and had to catch up. I loved it so much I took days off work to play.

Alot of the IP writers crowed tend to fake an affection for their current work for PR reasons of course, I remembering that i once joined a Narrative designers tumblr discussion were they tip each other how to write for a current game while avoiding playing it (watching YT walkthroughs and reading wikis were the popular solutions).
i highly doubt that she actuality played the game.

Would she really post a screenshot from character creation of a game she has no intention of playing to impress a few dozen people?

have we forgotten Fluent already

Damn, you can play as Dishonored in this game!?

Hey now, the first Dishonored is actually fun to play.

 

[Latelistener]

I'm not sure they would understand how Dishonored works, unless they actually have some Arkane refugees.

Last time TCR said that this version goes away from Dishonored style which HSL tried to make in first iteration

 

[Roguey]

They had a programmer from Rocksteady who seemed excited about the project he was going to be working on and couldn't "wait to talk about it", but he left earlier this year before the reveal.

Last year he wrote a blog where he described himself as the lead programmer, which is well... since they already announced it again, I'm sure they'll ship something. Certainly seems kinda bad when a game loses its lead programmer though.

"No, I hate the work and don't care about the company, I just need money to pay bills and buy food."

95% of employees if they're being honest.

He was already employed and left for "an offer [he] couldn't turn down." It doesn't seem likely they were offering him more money than he was already getting, Paradox with its many post-Ebba problems doesn't seem like it's in the position to do such things.

I was actually referring to the new TCR senior/head writer, but as you can see, this quote can be universally applied.

Wait, her last game was the Hogwarts title?

Yes, that's presumably why she was hired, RPG dialogue experience.

I guess someone could make the argument that modern WoD is just edgier Potterverse. I would like to see that argument actually, I think it'll be hilarious.

Lead programmers come and go in this industry. They barely do any real work. Instead they obsess about code reviews and slow programming processes.

I imagine he was expected to actually do some work and help make the game and remembered he could go make quadruple the pay with a tenth if the work at a bigger company. Happens all the time.

The Chinese Room has always been the game developer and this thread has only been started in june 2023.

Their reasoning is retarded though.

They said they don't want players to fear enemies like apparently it was in Dishonored, when in fact you were exactly like an overpowered vampire in that game.

Goons and the Entity will have all their faces covered. Not showing faces so they can save time/money on that. Commonly from low budget projects.

 

[sosmoflux]

They look cooler than the Vampire lol.

 

[Wesp5]

Are these new enemies for Cyberpunk ?

 

[Roguey]

Just Seattle people made to look a bit more intimidating than they are.

 

[Shaja]

So.... according to the trailers we are supposed to punch their faces in the game.

The Chinese Room ® based?
