I would love to take 'Ultimata Underworld' and literally update the graphics.
Gamers are everywhere, coming in all ages and genders, and developers have grown up, too.
We're not going to do a Facebook game aimed at 35-year old women about farming.
Unfortunately, the rights to 'System Shock' trademark and copyright are both up in the air.
For most developers, that kind of situation - a player figuring out how to do something that the designer didn't intend - to most developers, that's a bug. For me, that's a celebration.
I make M-rated games for adults, you know, with guys wearing sunglasses at night and trench coats.
I'm a huge fan of e-books, but the more I buy and download, the more I worry that someone could just take them all away from me.
I have never been assigned a game, I have never made a game I didn't want to make. I've never done anything just to make somebody some money.
I gotta do what I think is right, and if enough people like it, I'm a winner. And if they don't, I'll open a bookstore.
I have been the last space marine between earth and an alien invasion. I really just don't need to go there anymore.
I have got no problem with used games. I've bought plenty of used games.
I don't even make multiplayer games much, so dealing with multiple characters is something new for me - or, rather, something I've had to recall from my days as a roleplaying adventure designer where the party was everything!
I don't care much about hardware. Nintendo games are some of the best games in the world, and from a more graphical standpoint, the Wii can't do what a PS3 or 360 can do.
From a gameplay standpoint, I've said for years that hero, fiction, and tone have nothing to do with the idea that choices have consequences. And that's really what I'm interested in. I care about you showing how clever and creative you are.
