Tom, 2009-04-21, "Character Postmortem"
Tom (writer for Penumbra) has written a little post mortem on Dr Swanson at his website here:
http://www.TomJubert.com/swanson
This is what Tom wanna say about the whole thing:
Quote:This is the first in a (potential) series of character development write ups for the Penumbra series.
I have no idea whether this level of development detail is of interest or not, but I hope it will, at the very least, provide some added background for the die hard Penumbra fan.
On a grander scale, it’s my feeling that although narrative design is an increasingly trendy area, it doesn’t often see the sort of detailed analysis afforded to design, art and code… I hope that by focusing not on what’s in the game, but why it’s there I might go someway towards correcting that.
Though her reviews were mixed and her role small, Amabel Swanson is, for me, a critical character in Penumbra: Black Plague. I hope after reading this, you’ll understand why.
If you have any feedback, questions or requests, please do let me know, either on the Frictional Games forums or at tjubert [at] gmail [dot] com
Thanks,
