Bungie ViDoc - Forged In The Storm

Wait, is the Season of Arrivals over already? Time sure flies, doesn't it?
Fortunately, Bungie has release a rather... "cool" look into the new ice abilities and content coming with their Beyond Light expansion. Tread carefully if you wish to avoid story spoilers and reveals, however, as this ViDoc will surely be on thin ice for those who prefer to stay dark for that kind of stuff. Oh, and speaking of Darkness, this ViDoc also contains insight into the Season of the Hunt, and the type of story exploration (and horde-style event) that we can expect from that.

Take a look, then feel free to discuss what makes Darkness dark on our forum!

MotS: A Poetic Adventure (Part 1)

OS_Epsilon stopped by with a pretty amazing fan creation, in celebration of Bungie Day - it might need a little explanation. When the Music of the Spheres was written, accompanying poetry was commissioned from poet Malcolm Guite. Because of the issues with the release of MoTS over the years, this poetry was never released... until now. With narration by My Name is Byf and Moonvald, and some very nice visuals, you can enjoy the first of these poems on YouTube (or above, embedded). Malcolm Guite wrote up his own thoughts of this release (and some more details about the poetry itself) on his website. There's a 17mb booklet that goes along with this release, containing the first poem (The Moon) - we've made a local copy available so that you don't have to navigate MediaFire.

The Evolution of an Interface

Last week, we mentioned that Dave Candland, UI Guru at Bungie, was giving a talk at the Game Developers Conference on Destiny's interface. The actual talk will likely be available at some point on the GDC website, but for now, you can swing by Kotaku to see some cool screen grabs showing some of the ideas the team went through before settling on what we currently know as the Destiny interface. Super-cool! Thanks again, Korny.

The Sounds of Destiny Discussion Panel - now on YouTube

If you hadn't gotten a chance to see the discussion panel streamed last week on Bungie's Twitch channel (and archived there a day later) - maybe, say, because Twitch is blocked at work - you can watch it now, on YouTube (or embedded below). All of the streaming content is stored on this channel, eventually (including, for example, the Bungie Bounty event that took place this past Monday) - bookmark it, and check back each week for new goodies! Thanks, Korny.

Tenacious Design and the Interface of Destiny

One of the Bungie talks to be given at GDC this year is a look at the UI design of Destiny, presented by longtime UI guru Dave Candland. The preview vid released to promote this is really fun (and contains lots of tidbits showing the evolution of the interface, for folks who want to pore over details) - go give it a look! Thanks, breitzen.

Bungie Appoints Pete Parsons as New CEO

Harold Ryan has stepped down as CEO of Bungie today, and Pete Parsons has been appointed as the new CEO. Pete issued a short statement about the change:

I want to personally thank Harold for his friendship, passion, hard work, and dedication in helping make Bungie the great company it is today. As a team, we celebrated many victories and weathered many storms.
To the players of Destiny, I want you to know that my number one priority, and Bungie’s, is and always has been to deliver great games that we can all share together. I believe that Destiny is a one-of-a-kind experience. I also believe you have yet to see our studio’s best work. My new role here at the studio will be entirely focused on fulfilling that promise. 

Congratulations to Pete! No word if Harold will be staying with Bungie.

Destiny: Six Years in the Making

Gamespot has posted the recording of Chris Butcher's talk at GDC this year titled "Destiny: Six Years in the Making." You can watch it over on their site or on their Youtube channel, and here is Bungie's own description of the talk:

At Bungie, we built games based on the Halo engine for ten years. However, by 2008 it was beginning to show its age and there were many core systems that were ill-suited to a modern game development environment. For our new game, Destiny, we sought to develop an engine that would last us just as long as the Halo engine had. This talk will cover the six-year development arc of the Destiny engine, from inception to ship.

(Thanks to uberfoop for posting about it on the forum, even if I didn't notice until after the fact!)
