Adventure Architect Part 12

I enjoyed the latest Adventure Architect, particularly the concept sketches and the bit of dialogue. This piece is an interesting contrast to Yahtzee's Playing the Fool article from a few weeks ago. It's nice to know that some game developers *do* set out to make their characters likeable!

The Adventure Architect feature is gold.

This was a great article. I liked the thought that went into this character, and the humor:

Quote:

Jake sprang from my imagination as a distant, Wild West relative of Indiana Jones, with maybe a touch Guybrush Threepwood on the side of the family that no one wants to talk about.

I also think too much can be made of the "everyone loves an underdog" point, so I was glad that Josh brought up April Ryan--okay, she's vulnerable, and kind of a misfit at times, but it's not like she's inept.

People have all kinds of personalities in real life--why shouldn't characters in AGs?

Neat ideas.

That was really excellent. Loved the homocidal mime example.

A good read. Scrub that, a VERY good read.
