1up recently got a behind-the-scenes preview of Bioshock … lucky bastards. During their visit, they talked a lot with Ken Levine, the president and creative director for Irrational Games. I was surprised to learn that it only took him three weeks to write the entire story for the game.
Overall, I like Ken’s approach to designing games. He mentioned at one point how they have tried to make the story as direct as possible, conveying the setting and back-story just by the surroundings and game environment. Also, instead of long, drawn-out tutorials, they are using short tutorials, and dynamic training by watching the player to see if they makes mistakes. I think the end result will be a game that is much more immersive.
