Michael Gamble @gamblemike Happy Holidays to YOU! Final stream of the year: this Thursday December 20th at 3:30 PM CST. Watch as we battle against the evil forces of “technology”, “dust mites” and “software” to bring you content. With special guest: the Koala King himself.
Rad@FPSrad Is this the Interceptor pov stream we've been promised?
Michael Gamble @gamblemike PROBABLY
Sweet, looking forward to this video. hoping for the Ranger and Interceptor (my 2 favorite Javelins) in action.
Jesse Anderson @daroka Do you want to see a new Stronghold in @anthemgame? Well good news, we're going to be showing an all-new Stronghold on the livestream this Thursday that you've yet to see!
Fixing bugs at the end of a mission testing proper flow means I'm playing through the mission I'm fixing bugs on about 20-30 times a day. I don't stop having fun, though.
Emily (aka Domino) Taylor pentapod #TFW you can't help actually fix a bug but you CAN queue up Outlook delayed mail delivery to send custom lolcat memes at regular intervals all night to those working on it 🤣😇
Emily (aka Domino) Taylor pentapod I have no bugs or tasks left, so helping out other people with things I've never looked at before. Golly, this sure is a big complicated game outside the little agent quest bubble I've lived in for the last year! 😮 #gamedev
seb hanlon @hanlsp “I have no bugs left” - you’re tempting the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing! 😧
Emily (aka Domino) Taylor pentapod I did consider adding a footnote ** for now, or till next QA pass ** but hey, living dangerously 😄
Gamasutra @gamasutra Q&A: Directing the birth of a new BioWare world in Anthem ubm.io/2QEdlRO
Gamasutra articles are generally decent quality and this one is no exception. Very worthy read.
One noteworthy excerpt:
You've been transparent that a lot of classic BioWare design pillars, like branching romances, aren't returning. What would you say is replacing that content in an experience like Anthem?
I think those moments are actually still very much there, and it's the final expression of that friendship or that relationship that is the thing that's changed. One of my particular favorite moments in the game is near the end of the critical path is a moment where you sit down with Faye and you discuss where you're at, and it's this quiet thing in the back of the fort, and it feels so intensely personal.
And by switching over to first-person camera for our conversations, you actually are able to make eye contact with her, and it's this amazing connection that happens. It is about that friendship and that comraderies, and those moments are still absolutely there, there are moments like that with Owen, with Haluk, it moves me. I think it will move our players. I think that just understanding "hey, this is a game with a story that is about comradeship and friendship, that's where it goes."

Inquisitor: Is that innuendo? Sera: No, it's at the front!
Emily (aka Domino) Taylor pentapod #TFW you've done so much quest testing you completely forgot what your character looks like, and then are very confused that some strange guy with a moustache is climbing into your javelin...

It makes me kind of sad that it's even possible to forget what your own character looks like.
One day, the magic will come back. All of it. Everyone will be just like they were. The shadows will part, and the skies will open wide. When he rises, everyone will see. -Sandal Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a world to save. Again. -Inquisitor
Another interesting passage as far as story goes...
What's your advice for other game devs involved in storytelling in multiplayer settings?
You have to think about the group, the collective at every step. I think that we have developed a lot of muscle memory in how we we tell stories to individuals, and you have to do a little bit of flexing and stretching to tell a story to a group of people. The difference may seem subtle but it's not, I would just say be mindful of that. And it'll lead you to good places.
Let's take an example from Mass Effect, when characters would address Shepard or...let's say Mass Effect Andromeda was a multiplayer experience, instead of saying "Ryder" you'd say "Pathfinders."
And it seems like a simple thing. Often again it's that muscle memory as storytellers that wants to pull you back into that place, and just reminding yourself that you're talking to a group of heroes, not a singular hero.

Jesse Anderson @darokaz Had a great time running the livestream @bioware. The team is working hard on Anthem but there were still smiles all around. The passion and energy from everyone was amazing. Until next time!
Jesse Anderson @darokaz What would YOU like to see on the next @anthemgame livestream? While I can't promise we can show everything you ask for, I'd like to know what it is that people are wanting to see.

Size isn't everything.
Descend, bold traveller, into the crater of the jökull of Snæfell, which the shadow of Scartaris touches before the Kalends of July, and you will attain the centre of the earth. I did it. Arne Saknussemm
