I’ve tried to evolve the format of games like Farmville and Frontierville and create more narrative, more actual shared gameplay and a more “acceptable” form of notifications. Create! Connect!

Apart from some dodgy voice-acting, I think it turned out well - I took the basic translation from David Cage’s French script and developed “voices” and dialogue for each of the characters. The folk over at IGN liked the way it turned out, according to their Heavy Rain review… “On the flip side, however, is the fact that the dialog is generally spectacular. Most every line is natural and written in an unforced manner, lending a great deal more realism to the characters. While I’m not talking about elongated monologues that would give Shakespeare a run for his money, the little things that people say are damn near perfect. Again, the delivery isn’t always spot-on, but the content certainly is.” Play.tm also agreed in their review; “The scripting is also first rate, dialogue naturalistic and unencumbered in a way video games seldom manage. At times the story will also sweep you off in control of other characters vital to the story, but for the most part Cage and co are keen to engender empathy with the central stars - all of whom are excellently voiced, and for the most part three-dimensional.”   Dialogue, New Work, Story Flow 2010-02-25T06:37:14+00:00 http://www.philcampbelldesign.com/index.php/blog/view/designing_for_tomb_raider/ http://www.philcampbelldesign.com/index.php/blog/view/designing_for_tomb_raider/#When:03:42:28Z Here is an article I wrote about the challenges of designing Tomb Raider, including a lot of tips and tricks for budding level designers.
