RPS: That was going to be one of my questions. That's a tell, right? So then when you're casting a party, and you're deciding who to be, their behaviour actually matters. I want to have a background on each one with gameplay relevant stuff: maybe the General drinks too much and so never refuses a drink. It's part of making the game even deeper than it already is, and it's called 'Dossiers'. So I want to do some kind of crowd-thing again with the names. I just posted a thing on Facebook and people suggested tonnes of different funny names. I want to involve the community in name-picking, which we did with the first set of characters.

I'm just lettering them until we pick names. Not yet, in the sense that right now they're all named like- the person you're insisting on calling 'the Queen'- is Ms J. It almost seems like you've brought character. So all these new models add depth and complexity to the characters. So you're saying if I put a yelp or something you might be averse? Which I'm almost certainly not going to do. But the only thing that stopped me, eventually, was not snapping the necks made a pleasant noise. When I played BioShock I snapped the girl's necks. It sounds like there's not a lot of meta. RPS: That's quite a sweet little thing, I guess? But the thing is, to my rough knowledge those dogs are assholes as well. I think that dog, the emotional quality of the dog, swamps any Royalist sentiment. That's the only cultural standpoint I can see just looking at the art. RPS: I wouldn't pause, but if I was playing someone with an English accent then I might go the Queen, just to presume that there might be a small possibility. So do you think there'd even be a moment's hesitation? Is it better meta playing for you to pick the Queen even subconsciously? So people are like 'Oh, I'd never do that,' and then they do it instantly. The gap between what people think they think and what they actually think is relatively large in psychological terms. Britain's about 60 million people? Working out a percentage of that is kind of difficult, but personally it wouldn't bother me to shoot the Queen, and I'm probably going to get arrested for saying that. Two million of these people will descend on London and watch Royals do 'important things'. I look upon Royalists as a strange breed, anyway. like you're not supposed to say 'British', but you can't say 'English'? Or is it vice versa? I can never remember, There's an entire YouTube video about what to call people who have a Commonwealth accent. Modern Game design is all about metrics, so since you're currently the only English person I'm talking to, if you had to say what percentage of Royalists vs not, what would you say? But I'm aware that some people might be of a Royalist inclination. Is that a conscious effort to stop English people from winning?ĭo you think you're statistically more or less likely to shoot her? In this talk: sniping royalty, hair as a game mechanic, the influence of League of Legends and Dota, and the future of Spy Party. I dressed for the occasion, meaning I put on clothes, and prepared my notebook with all the questions I didn't get to ask him when he interviewed himself. It would be an exclusive soiree just for us. I know this because party host Chris Hecker sent an invite to the RPS inbox, asking if we wanted to see the new art for the game. Excellent and terrifying human behaviour sim SpyParty is still in development.
