    If you could create a Dark Souls boss

    Something inspired by shadow of the Colossus maybe? Perhaps the boss is actually the surface that you battle on, like the back of a giant monster, and you fight his minions on the surface until you have opportunities to attack the boss itself. You could mislead the player by showing them a new...

    Things you eat that make others recoil in horror

    I can't get down with Whale meat. They're cetaceans, higher mammals with a developed nervous system. It would be like eating chimpanzee, or dolphin. They've got very advanced brain function in comparison to most other food animals.

    what do you think of astronomy?

    Without trying to detract from any of NASA's achievements, I think that there are many other natural sciences, maths, chemistry etc, which have had just as big of an impact on today's society as the study of space. However, I totally understand why Space/Astronomy is deemed super important...

    You must change a paradise into a hell, by changing one thing...

    Change, in their language, the words: please, thank you and sorry, to YOLO.

    Animals that can become sapient and develop civilization?

    Cephalopoda, notably cuttlefish. Cold blooded, manipulatory appendages, high level of communication. They're my bet :D.

    Why wasn't Kingdom of Amalur as praised as Skyrim or Dragon Age?

    I have to agree with this. The games which you were comparing KOA to are, for the most part, heavily stylised. Whereas KOA, although having some nice particles and skill effects, doesn't really have a style of it's own. It's just a bit, meh...

    Let's talk Batman fanboys

    And here was me thinking this was a thread discussing how every recent Batman movie released gets lauded to the heavens regardless of how shit it invariably is.

    Should I self-publish?

    I recognise that going with a publisher can be a mutually beneficial arrangement for both author and publisher. It's a lot safer as you can have promotion handled through a third party with more experience in the area than most authors. But it makes me sad to see a lot of IPs ruined by the...

    Should I self-publish?

    That's bull. There's plenty of fine examples of self-published work. Less so with books as historically they needed to be printed which was expensive. Digital distribution fixes that however. What's important is exposure. Making sure the right people read the book. If you get press contacts...

    What's it like where you live?

    I live in Guildford, Surrey(County), England. It's a small city south of London. It's green and pretty but quite boring. I'm here mainly for work as there's a big game development community in Guildford. That's probably the thing I like most about the city, when you go out for lunch you can see...
