Creating The Apocalypse: Darksiders Developer Commentary
On Game Informer's various video series, such as Replay and Reiner and Phil, we get to play games while subjecting you to our dumb observations and jokes. But I've always been interested in the notion of getting the developers' point of view in a similar setting. When I visited Austin-based Vigil Games for this month's Darksiders cover story, I finally got the opportunity to try it out.
Join creative director Joe Madureira, lead designer Haydn Dalton, producer Ryan Stefanelli, general manager David Adams, game director Marvin Donald, and myself as the team looks back on their first creation and reminisces about the ups and downs of development. We take a look at the church dungeon and the Ashlands overworld area and discuss dark development secrets such as the secret meaning of a "nuzzle" and which area of the overworld they should have fixed before the game shipped.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
