The latest "article" over at Gamasutra is actually a video in Real Media format (and as a result, a RealPlayer or compatible is required to watch it). The video is just under an hour long, and is a recording of a talk Legend Entertainment designer Bob Bates gave at last year's Game Developer's Conference. Bob talks about the art of game design, using the games he's worked on over the years as examples (prior founding Legend ten years ago, he worked at Infocom) as well as other games with strong storytelling, such as Half-Life and Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. Those looking for info on Unreal II will of course be disappointed, but it should be interesting for would-be game designers or fans looking for some insight into the game development process.
