Designing The RPG Elements Of Destiny
Tyson Green's job is to keep you coming back to Destiny. As a designer with Bungie since the first Halo, Green worked his way through the ranks and became the multiplayer designer for Halo 3. Now serving as lead investment designer on Destiny, Green oversees everything from skill design to loot drops. While visiting the studio for January's cover story, we spoke with Green about how and why Bungie is now going all-in with progression. He has some interesting thoughts on how Destiny bucks common trends within the gaming industry and what the team has learned from games like Borderlands, Monster Hunter, and Dark Souls.
Watch the video below to learn all about progression, committing to skills, and the team's approach to loot in Destiny.

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.
