TR - The Art of Game Design

IGN sat down with NCsoft's Victor Meinert and John Mueller to talk about the visual aspects of their massively multiplayer game, Tabula Rasa. Here is a peek...
Jonric: How did you arrive at the current overall look of the game? At a conceptual level, what major influences does it embody?
John Mueller: The current look is inspired by films like Aliens and Starship Troopers. It's the kind of story you might find in 2000AD. I love European comics too - they take science fiction very seriously - stepping off an Allied Free Sentients drop ship on a mysterious alien planet with the most advanced weaponry known to man... its Bane-killin' time!
