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.

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.

The Gun You Love to Hate

Do you hate Thorn? You're not alone - Kotaku posted an entire article about about overpowered this hand cannon is... and how much they actually want one. (I mean... it may be overpowered, but we should all have a chance to use overpowered, right?) Revenant1988 linked it in our forum, and it touched off a lively discussion; give it a read, and see if you've got anything to add!

Real Fake Hand Cannons

Prop maker Zander Brandt has created highly detailed hand cannon replicas fit for any gunslinger. The Hawkmoon is particularly cool and I wouldn’t mind owning one myself! You can check out Zander’s blog to see how he built these weapons. (via Kotaku)

Better in real life?

No Land Beyond is an Exotic primary weapon that doesn't always get love from fans... but redditor AHydrogenAt0m decided to model it out of wood anyway. Personally, I love what he's come up with! Check out the Imgur album to see the entire construction process.

Imagining an Exotic

Community member and treasured artist, TDSpiral, took a stab at imagining an Exotic handcannon called "The Serpent" created originally by a fan on Reddit. The results were awesome, and while I picked my favorite to highlight here, he's got a wallop of variations to gaze at.

Getting to Grips with Destiny

The Inquirer has posted a hands-on preview of the Beta (pretty impressive, given that they managed to get it online before the Beta went live for most of us). Go give it a read!

IGN Walkthrough: Destiny Companion App

IGN has posted the latest video in their month-long coverage of Destiny, which gives a look at the way the Destiny Companion App will enhance your Destiny experience. You'll be able to swap gear in real time, view stats and mission progress, thumb through the Grimoire, and more. (Thanks, Grim III.)

Android Preview (Today Only)

MrPadraig08 pointed out a tweet that announced that if you participated in the Alpha, AND you have an Android phone, you can check out a preview of the Destiny Companion App, just for today. (Hurry!) If you are lacking in any of those three requirements (date, gameplay, phone), you can check out some pictures of the app, courtesy of EffortlessFury.

Andy Xiao: 8-bit beginnings to Spec Ops Specialist

The latest Breaking In feature is up over at bungie.net; this installment focuses fire on Andy Xiao, a generalist operative on the Spec Ops team.  His various talents are applied in key places to enrich the Bungie secret sauce, adding his own artistic touch to the Destiny experience.  Go read up on this tea-swilling, cat-loving craftsman; I'm looking forward to seeing the hard work he and his team put into Public Events!

Beautiful Reasons to Haul Uranus Around the Solar System

Bungie art director Christopher Barrett is back with the Game Informer crew breaking down the incredible locations you'll visit around the solar system when you pop Destiny into your disc tray. No word on whether or not GI can be held legally responsible for the damage my drool has now caused my laptop keyboard. Thanks a lot guys. Anyway... GO CHECK IT OUT!

Ghosts and Echoes - Episode 10

Strauss, Lord Gheritt, and Marcus Whitesides return in another installment of the Ghosts and Echoes transmissions. Re-establish communications over at The Guardians of Destiny and remember: from the ice mines of Pluto, to the solar research facilities of Mercury, Strauss will be there for you, to provide the information that matters most.

Ghosts and Echoes - Episode 9

roland let us know that Episode 9 of Ghosts and Echoes is now available for download (also in text form). Visit the archive page if you need to catch up on the continuing story of Strauss, Lord Gheritt, Marcus Whitesides, and SAMMM!

Hello, Traveler!

Edge has another preview from their (now available) Destiny-rich issue, this time focusing on what Bungie learned from open-world shooters Far Cry and Borderlands. Joe Staten uses a more respectful tone than the Edge headline would have you believe, but he does mention Bungie's efforts to capitalize on the opportunities those games passed up. As a fan of Borderlands, I think this is very encouraging news! (Thanks, Xenos.)

Art and Stuff Contest Finalists

The finalists for the Art and Stuff contest have been announced. Now it's up to the community to vote for their favorite piece of Destiny fan art. Congrats to the finalists - great work! Be sure to also check out all of the community art that was submitted.

Winners will be adorned with awesome swag from Bungie themselves! The deadline is May 21st, so dip your paint brushes (or turn on your digital drawing tablet) and start creating!

See You There

For the one month anniversary of the Art and Stuff group on Bungie.net, cal carlson decided to break out his digital wand and bring the landscape of Venus to life - I wouldn't mind going on a trek of Venus.

I want the doo-wop.

Kotaku is mean. (I laughed, though.) Thanks, INSANEdrive.

Is it too late to pre-order?

Looks like a few more promotional materials have been spotted over at NeoGAF: Jarmel snapped a pic of the Destiny standee in his Gamestop, while HiredN00bs pointed out a (Europe exclusive?) Cabal variant of the pre-order poster.
