GDC: How Sucker Punch built inFamous' big city with a small team
Mar 11th 2010 7:40PM (Joystiq)Say you're at a theme park and you're hungry. The park is gigantic, where's the damn food court? There's this heavy tree line, or lots of other rides that are taking up your vision.
So Walt puts a giant plaster hot-dog sculpture on top of the food court building, which rises just above the trees. And from any one section of the park, you can look around the horizon and see one huge landmark rising up from each section of the park. You spot the big hot dog and you're on your way to lunch.
i.e. Splash Mountain, the Matterhorn, the Tomorrowland tower. You can navigate just by glancing around for landmarks. Evil lairs is just the next step :)
It's a pretty clever guideline that I hear just about every level artist talking about these days. Put a clear landmark on the horizon so the player knows where their goal is.

Dec 18th 2008 11:52AM (Joystiq)Also the editorials on story and such sound like typical uninformed gamer whining, from three people who really don't like games at all. The sketches seem like a lot of effort for few or no laughs.
Here's a plan: Yahtzee can go on making spot-on critiques instead of trying to read the news with a stick up his bum, and the other two guys can share a "yay games" blog that gets like 10 hits a month.
If you can go hating on video games for 30 straight minutes, why even bother?
