Emotions aside (future tweet), MS proves to be short sighted in that instance, they have infinite money and could have waited for Arkane Austin to do it again, which they would have. It will cost valuable Gamer Credits to MS and reinforce the evil corp image. Bad move. Baffling

(1/4) Setting the record straight about Arkane: both Lyon and Austin are amazing. Dishonored 1 was incubated and led in Austin: story, lore, creative direction, by Harvey, and myself. Lyon was in charge of the art (under Seb and Viktor)

21 years ago, I and a bunch of friends created a tiny hopeful company called Arkane Studios. We just wanted to do games like Arx Fatalis, we didn’t care for money. Look at what it became now. I’m proud of that kid, and like any kid, it’s doing its own thing. Life can be weird

Metacritic never update scores, so a 4/10 will stain a game for ever. It’s not just about feelings, but also sales and people’s carreers. You enjoyed the game for 30 hours, you believed in its fundamental quality. Savegames bugs always get fixed eventually. 4/10 was a statement.

(4/4) Both studios had legit world class teams, independent from each other, both able to make great games. I hope this helps the public’s perception of who did what. It’s a team effort, a culture.

Old picture on my Iphone of a meeting with

Some say Weird West is not an Imm Sim as it’s not 1st person. Ok… What authority do you have? Me? Check out my resume… I believe I’m legit. The reason why we use to call these games 1st person Imm Sim is that the camera perspective was never inherent to Imm Sim. Troll!

(2/4) Eventually both studios ramped up and acted as one entity for the making of D1: the big bulk of tech (Hugues) was led in france, system design was shared between Dinga(Lyon) and Seth (Austin), gameplay programming was shared betwn Austin (Stevan) and Lyon (Michael/Sylvain)

(3/4) The Level Design was 50/50 with the lead in France (by Tof) working closely with Ricardo (in Austin). After that, Harvey moved to France for the duration of D2 working with Dinga and Seb while I stayed in Austin for Prey with Ricardo. By the end of D2 and Prey

This is mind blowing: Someone is doing an Unreal4 remaster of Arx, my baby from 2002. Back then the game failed hard, publisher ran out of business before the game was even in the stores. Bittersweet. life is full of surprises

I'm flattered that people fight about which great game Prey is the spiritual successor of. The inspiration was System Shock / Arx / Deus Ex/ Imsim in general, and a bit of HL2... We worked for them at some point after all. Games inspire other games...

On Dishonored 2 and Prey it took 4 days to make a chair... 4 days! Granted it was a beautiful chair, and as much as I have enjoyed that phase of my career and my passion, now I want to work on games where making a chair takes no more than 2 hours.

I think your readers would have gotten the message just as well with a less extreme score. Most of all if you believed in the game aside from that bug. Maybe Bethesda’s politic of no review copies didn’t help, but that had nothing to do with us.

WB patenting the nemesis game systems in a broad sense seems absolutely abusive to me and a terrible news for the industry and the art of game design. Imagine if Westwood had patented the RTS or id the Enemy that can shoot. Seriously? I hope I’m misunderstanding this news

To be clear: I have nothing against AAA games, my personal preference is to work on more experimental games that are less subject to market pressure, that’s all. I guess it’s not as sensational and click baity, but it’s more accurate

The very concept of patent is so contrary to progress. We’re building on top of each other’s discoveries, meanwhile some selfish mother fucker wants to patent the wheel. “Dude, it’s my idea!” New ideas are a convergence of existing ideas. We are a community!

Another note close up from the Austin trip we did with Seb

Blown away by the movie Dune. Visual design, acting, audio, elegance of the FX in support of the story instead of the usual Hollywood sugar that targets the dumbass. I was a fan of Lynch’s version too (I know… unpopular), haven’t read the books (I know). Wow I’m impressed. More!

2017 wasn’t my best year to say the least. Transitioning out of Arkane was a hard decision, my love life was complicated, and my son almost died... On the flip side, I’m proud to have shipped Prey, I wrote a few good songs, and I’m in good health. 2018, here I come, be ready!

I love when games let players do bad deeds such as killing the good guys or stealing from anyone. It gives meaning to my choice of being good, it is empowering my player story. This has always been an important game design value to my own games.

As a fan of Immersive Sims, I think that the genre will eventually disappear because its values must migrate to all genres eventually: choices, consequences, play-styles, simulation, layered systems, emergence, non intrusive narration... Great values that all games should embrace

As much as I love a good story, I enjoy games that support player story instead of trapping the player in a writer story. Acknowledge the players actions and respond to what they do is one thing that games can do that movies can’t. Lore + Dynamic events is the way to go for me
