And as cool as AoT is, I think you're also going to enjoy one of the most fun free quests we've released, A Puzzlement, with some fantastic writing from Alissa Ralph.

Devastating.

Uh oh. More trouble for Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed: Odyssey... :/

And so, a painful scope reduction ended up producing two iconic moments in Batman: Arkham Origins.

It's never too late to strive for greatness.

Happy 12th anniversary to the game and the team.

That’s when I had the inspiration to have Joker kill him. It’s a great moment that helps reveal Joker’s character and helps sell why these other villains don’t really want to mess with him.

Well, that and his love of fruitcake.

But then what do we do with Electrocutioner? At that point in the progression, it’s too early for the shock gloves and so that fight can’t be his end.

Narratively, this super easy fight helps justify Batman’s confidence that he can take on all of these assassins. But it’s also a great setup for the Deathstroke fight in terms of the differential in difficulty.

And that’s when I came up with the pitch to keep Electrocutioner but cut his fight.

I suggested that we Indiana-Jones him. Turn him into the joke he is.

But I didn’t want to cut Shiva. She was one of the very few female characters we had and she is super cool. Given her martial arts abilities, I thought her boss fight could be on par with what we were putting together for Deathstroke.

Copperhead – we didn’t want to cut her fight because she was a new interpretation of a character that was coming along very nicely.

Electrocutioner – we essentially couldn’t cut because he came with the shock gloves which were a core gadget for the game.

And so, the team settled on Shiva.

Scope reductions can be painful opportunities to make your game better.

In Batman: Arkham Origins, we had to cut some boss fights. There were a few rounds of this, but at a critical moment, we came to what we thought would be our last cut. There were three fights to choose from.

Why "vibe physics" is the ultimate example of AI slop The conversation you're having with an LLM about groundbreaking new ideas in theoretical physics is completely meritless. Here's why.

Passing by the old Twitter feed is like driving by the old apartment and seeing how it's been overrun by street gangs.

To serve: stoop and scoop.

Why did I wait so long to play Blue Prince?

I'm so jealous of you guys, but also excited. Looks great.

I like to put it this way: if you were applying for a job as a concept artist, would you expect to get hired without showing an awesome art portfolio? A good school can help you make it awesome, but the quality of the work itself is what matters.
