Can't be the final meshes.

Hmm... this level appears to have a beginning, middle and end. Also, is anyone aware if Jos'  forte is combat level design or exploration design?  I remember him saying that level design has a whole team behind it (artists, writers, cinematics, audio) but the gist of my query is if Jos is mostly a brick and mortar guy, plugs in the spawn points and let others to the animations.

 

 

To say that I would own something by myself completely would be reductive, false, and it diminishes the skill and work everyone brings to putting things together. As for my role, I try to be the connective tissue between the different disciplines. I'm responsible for the structure of anything I help build, the technical requirements, am the primary point of contact for the stuff I work on, and try to maintain the core vision of it. I build spaces for art to make gorgeous, I create combat layouts and spaces for the gameplay designers' enemy AI to shine in, I find spots to place loot in that a system designer built, and together with a writer I usually figure out where and how much banter and conversation material should go in, covering what different topics, make sure with a cinematic designer that they have all they need for their scene work, and make sure the overall experience isn't dull for the player. (and then when all that is done, I work with technical designers and programmers to make sure it all plays nicely without trouble on the platforms it needs to run on)

 

And lastly, to answer what you're maybe wondering about here, I'm working on the main story missions of the game.

If the Great America ride doesn't open by Friday this week, I'm freaking out.

In other words, when you sit around the level design, you sit around the level design?

If I were a Bioware employee like Jos I would be too scared to interact on the forums.

I'd make a pseudonym and pretend I'm a nobody from Missouri.

Ahhh.... many, many moons ago I played a similar role.

Thanks for shining a light on the arcane.

You're gonna have to explain that one to me, I don't get it.

[Sartoz]

I think this means all hands are on deck for ME:A and the new IP.  This is very good news.

                                                                                       <<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>>

 

The new IP? Well, that's obvious.  But, it's interesting that the mgrs behind this secrep IP have zipped their lips. Expect something at EA PLAY.

Bad attempt at humor.  I was implying that instead of looking from the inside out, you're on the outside looking in.

Of interest to me is "... the enemy AI...".

 

I'd be ecstatic if we could "program" our team with the equivalent of DA:O's combat script AI and watch the team handle itself.

 

Alas, I fear these are the bygone days of yore.

The question you need to ask is: would a console player want to program **** and use many abilities and think of strategies instead of mashing buttons?

 

 

No. They dont.

I hope it's not an indication of what to expect if that is an in-game reference. 

 

 

I would like to see the Hanar as a serious take on an alien species (like in ME 1), not as the cheap joke race that they became with Blasto as their poster child.

Hanar confirmed in MEA, or references to the original trilogy, I wonder...

Having a Hanar with a sense of humor isn't turning them into a joke race. It's showing that like other races, Hanar have different personalities. I'd say that's a step forward to a serious take.

Depends on how it's handled.

 

I'd really like aliens to be, you know, "alien" once in a while.

I understand the reasoning, but it's not like ME was a great example of this from the start. I doubt they'll start doing that in Andromeda.

Is it a Hanar with a sense of humor, or is it more of Blasto-esque 'humor' though? 

 

Going by previous titles, any mention of Hanar and humor in the same sentence usually means more "Enkindle This!" lines.

Hanar invited to Ark. Vorcha still denied

 

(pls no more Blasto jokes tho, it's been over-milked already to death)

Perhaps you are forgetting that Hanar are the ones that reared Thane to become an Assassin. So having humor help stave off the overtly serious tone that could prevail in such a culture culture is appreciated, at least This One believes so.

Hanar humerous love interest confirmed?

Yeah, I'm really interested to see what constitutes as humor among a species that is as polite as the Hanar.
