Questions for Alien: Blackout Lead Writer/Narrative Designer

[Corporal Hicks]

We'll be conducting a Q&A with JD Sorvari, the Lead Writer & Narrative Designer, for Blackout. As always, just wanted to give people the chance to ask specific questions. If there's anything I haven't already got or I think sounds interesting, I'll include it.  Ask away!

[SiL]

Was anyone on the team familiar with the original version of ALIEN on the ZX Spectrum/Commodore 64? Was it an influence at all?

Already on there! Fear not.

Are there plans for a game containing the feel of the second film?

Console port.  Forthwith.

What elements did you know you wanted to incorporate from the Alien films? (Character types/ locations/ tension build techniques etc.) And which new elements did you want to make unique to the game?
