Intimates: A Believable Open World

Video Games

Checkpoint Intimates is a weekly podcast where two members of the team go one-on-one on a topic that they both feel strongly about, talking in a more deeper and, yes, intimate context.

This week, Elliot and Cameron talk about what it takes to make a living and breathing open world. Flavour text, believable locations and visual storytelling all play am important part. The boys breakdown their favourite examples and times where it just doesn’t work.

Giving a 1-UP to diversity in gaming.
