Exploring Hidden Stories in the World of XCOM 2

[@arashtadjiki]

As a programmer I love these types of talks. Artists are absolute wizards

[@ZomboJoe]

This is really great, not only are his methods super creative, they also double as a huge productivity boost. By having micro stories based around each building and general area, now it becomes very easy to decide what kinds of decoration should be used so that no single area looks generic to the players.

This is very interesting. I think in the end these details are essential to bring the levels to life. It's the kind of details you don't notice if they're there but you will immediately notice if they're not.

Nice talk! Making these kinds of stories is such a fun part of level design!

[@Yarblocosifilitico]

Cool insight. I might have to include one Michael Scott in my next playthrough to avenge that poor paper company. edit: The Paper King shall rule again!

THE GRAPHIC OF THIS GAME IS pure BEAUTY ! Even though, for a European the sets were looking all to much US-American like A bit with the City Scenes it was different since this kind of Architecture was becomming more international.

I enjoyed this presentation, it was quite interesting and informative. I'll certainly be paying more attention to the environment in the games I play. 😎👍

Injecting detail and personality into procedurally generated levels is wild!
