Hi there,
Chiming in to let you know that an excellent blog has gone up today at the Demiurge Studios site. The topic of discussion is the creation and implementation of Colossus in Marvel Puzzle Quest.
You can find the story here:
‘Colossus - Real Steel’ (http://www.demiurgestudios.com/blog/colossus/)
Quote:
"As Colossus’s designer, I did a bunch of research on his personality and abilities before meeting up with other MPQ designers and engineers to talk through ideas. Here were the three characteristics that I felt best represented him –
Protecting his friends and allies
Transformation between flesh and nearly-indestructible metal
Punching really hard"
