People News Mark Yohalem joins the Torment: Tides of Numenera writing team

[Zed]

Welcome aboard man. The more the merrier.

Who are you?

Nobody. I just like the fact that he joined the development. Primordia is a good game.

Ok. "Welcome aboard" sounded like you were part of the team.

Good, maybe now they have enough writers that they can take their codex interns off the writing team and back to holding the line.

Yeah now we have professionals writing our shitty backer reward memes into the game.

He's not as pale as I am. Plus -- all this body-shaming! Typical for an indie developer, I suppose.

 

[Darth Roxor]

all this body-shaming!

[Brother None]

Honored and excited to have MRY on board! Welcome Mark, if you come to the office just ignore the chainsaw hanging ominously above your head.

Honourblade!

 

[Crescent Hawk]

I liked primordia world and vibe, but the writing and story was mediocre.

 

[Jasede]

Just don't turn into a double-talking, doubleplusgood lying weasel like a certain other guy who found a job at a company he was a fan of.

"Turn into"?

Go on, tell us who you're referring to

Must admit however, the art and atmosphere on Primordia was great. It just needed more drugs.

Well, all of the credit for that goes to Victor Pflug.

Good luck man. Its really an incredible opportunity to work for this game, make sure it nails its intended audience to the wall I want to have these type of games until I die. Channel Frank Herbert there.

To quote the savior of adventure games, "If I fail, these types of games will go away and I don't want them to go away because they're my favourite types of games."

Please submit examples of this mediocre writing in Primordia.

Looking forward to your contributions MRY

 

[MicoSelva]

Great news. I have already congratuled MRY twice, but there is no reason not to do it again, so congratulations!

Also, I hope there is still some actual writing to do at this stage of development and you are not relegated to fixing typos in Brother None's item descriptions.

Must be sea
But I would like the whole story as well.

 

[CyberWhale]

Don't really get all this edginess - the world-building and lore were, alongside the presentation (i.e. visuals and music), probably the best parts of Primordia.

 

[Kalin]

Primordia seems pretty nice, will have to try it. Also approve of the mugshot, 100% AAA Corp Exec material.

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

Congrats MRY

You know you've reached the big time when your looks suddenly attract the same scrutiny as industry bigshots like Josh Sawyer and Cleve Blakemore.

 

[DwarvenFood]

We had a talk about that small fiction he wrote for his game Primordia, whose intro was written really badly, his response was "could we talk about it privately" and putting me on ignore since then, not to hurt his sensitive sensibilities.

Seems like a perfect addition to the team and "writing" for the game.

He's a good judge of character, it seems.

That picture is already considerably dated -- the Maginot Line has crumbled and my hairline is in full retreat, with the deserters apparently settling on my back. Unfortunately, to continue the WWI metaphors, I have a feeling that when my full scalp is unveiled, it will be as pitted and horrific as a battlefield, so there's really no happy ending in sight.

Maginot Line is WWII.

Other than that congratulations on landing that job!
