We
wanted to make the game playable by a large audience, but we still wanted to make the game challenging for
expert players. We came up with a concept that made it more di?¬? cult to play if the player wanted to keep
their ???humanity??? intact, but if they allowed cybernetic upgrades, they would have an easier time of it. This
was a perfect way to blend story and gameplay and di?¬? culty into one seamless solution. If you play through
the game and win but become a horri?¬? c machine in the process, you can always play again, this time with the
goal of keeping your humanity. It has the added bene?¬? t of being a scoring system as well. It was awesome
the way it all came together.
On writing design documents:
Each time I have sat down to write a game design, the approach is usually evolved from the last one. When
creating a new design, I describe the high level stu?¬? at the start of the document and then cover the details
later. One of the key things I do right up front is to answer the ten most di?¬? cult and jaded questions that
someone who challenges my design might ask.
