Dev's getting creative on our milestone board
From the creators of MASS EFFECT
And the visionary behind DRAGON AGE
THUMBTACK ARTISTRY
All this week's work has kind of blurred together. Hopefully I'll still feel like I accomplished things come Monday.
@bbattye Right?
@JayWatamaniuk Can't say it wasn't interesting though! ![]()
But the rules of the game - the math that makes the game world work, should be available to us.
Oh, those kinds of numbers. Yeah, sure, that sounds fine
I remember they did that for Mass Effect 3's multiplayer, too, detailing the damage numbers for each weapon against each kind of defense.

It is a woefully under-appreciated form of artistic expression.
Jay Watamaniuk@JayWatamaniuk: Short week coming up. Much to do at work. #secretIP
Cameron Lee@Cameron__Lee: Apparently the concept artists were accidentally locked in their room... New development methodology perhaps?
lol @ Cameron. I love BioWare devs.
That is one ballsy cat.
.@bioware is hiring a Sr Character Artist for our exciting new IP from the creative team that brought u Mass Effect https://www.linkedin...w-shanda-wood …
Finished up the milestone with another big celebration showing all the amazing work in the new IP. I can't wait to show you all one day!!

Milestone is probably the transition into full development cycle. Should mean somewhere between 1 & 2 years left.
My personal, obviously-unfounded thought right now re: the new IP is that it'll target the end of 2017, so that aligns, yeah.
If they say anything a thresher maw probably rises up and eats them! ![]()
Well hello Monday, isn't it time for adventure, mayhem, and mischief? That's what I thought.
"Senior Software Engineer on a new IP out of BioWare Austin = one cool job!" by @Masah_K on @LinkedIn https://www.linkedin...masah-kalugin …

Austin, eh?
New IPs, indeed.
Okay, your attention to detail is a bit scary at this point. Nice catch. I wonder if it is another SWTOR thing or something...different.
Austin, eh?
New IPs, indeed.
I also thought about that, but in the job description it says "This new IP is going to be led by the former Mass Effect team", and we already know that the former ME team is working on the new IP in Edmonton, so it might just be that while it is mainly developed in Edmonton the Austin team might provide a supporting role. Still worth a pique of interest though, since expanding the development to a second studio would indicate that IP is probably entering a more intense development phase, which means that it is coming ever closer.
Could still be an entirely new IP, I guess, but let's not jump to conclusions that might disappoint us in the long run.
