Creating Real Characters In The Last Of Us
Many developers falter under the challenge of developing interesting video game stories, but Naughty Dog has always navigated this challenge relatively well. For it's upcoming title, The Last of Us, the studio spent a large amount of time concepting its world and characters. We examine what it takes to make a believable character.
Creative director Neil Druckmann talks about how important it is to concept characters when telling a story, and dives into the game's newest character, Bill.
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.
