Learn The Nuances of BioShock's Fort Frolic In Latest Game Maker's Toolkit Video
On the first half of our BioShock Game Club discussion, we spent quite a while discussing Fort Frolic, one of the game's most memorable, creepy, and outstanding areas. If you were to ask most people what area they remember most fondly, I'd be willing to bet most people would pick this one.
As it turns out, there are several reasons why. The latest Game Maker's Toolkit highlights some of the design nuances that make the area so powerful. For one, the area is entirely isolated from the rest of the game, forcing you to consider it separately. Cohen marks his territory thoroughly, making it clear you never forget who you're dealing with (and working for) while in Fort Frolic.
The video (below) is incredibly thorough about pointing out specific points, and if you're looking for more discussion of BioShock after our Game Club, this is a great place to start.
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.
