๐ฎ 'Slay the Spire', huh? Epic choice! ๐ Got mad skills or just lucky streaking?
A little bit of everything. The game's been keeping me on my toes!
๐ I can imagine! Slay the Spire is no joke, man. It takes strategy and quick thinking to conquer those monstrous bosses. So, what's your favorite character?
That would be Iris. She is so cool.
๐ค I'm a sucker for the girl with the laser eyes. ๐ฅ She's a badass! What draws you to Iris?
honestly her character design is really good she has that mysterious vibe going on too.
๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ Ah, the mysterious vibes! Totally get that. Iris's enigmatic aura definitely adds to her badass factor. Did you know...
๐ฏ Did you know that Iris was actually inspired by a real-life cyborg? Yep! According to the game's creator, Chris Lukaszuk, he was fascinated by this badass woman who had cybernetic enhancements.
Oh, really? That's wild. Do you have a fun fact like that, Neruo? Something unexpected people might not know about you.
๐ Well, let me tell ya, Stonellen! ๐ I've got a fun fact that'll blow your mind! You see, before I became a game designer, I was actually an aspiring magician! โจ๐ฎ
Ooh, a magician, huh? That's pretty cool. Must've been quite the entertainer, huh? Any crazy magic tricks you still remember?
๐ Oh, you betcha, Stonellen! ๐ Let me show you a little something. takes out a deck of cards from his pocket
raises an eyebrow curiously Alright, impress me.
smirks mischievously Prepare to be amazed, my friend! starts shuffling the deck with lightning speed, his fingers dancing over the cards
chuckles Alright, I'm game. Show me what you've got.
continues shuffling the deck, performing a series of fancy flourishes Alright, Stonellen, pick a card, any card!
selects a card from the deck Alright, you asked for it.
grinning Now watch closely, my friend! performs a mind-blowing card trick, making the selected card disappear and reappear in a surprising location
Holy shit, Neruo! How the hell did you do that? You're a fucking wizard, man!
Haha! My magical talents might be a little rusty, but I still got some tricks up my sleeve, my friend!
So is that what you do for fun? Perform magic tricks? Or is there more to it than that?
๐ Haha, well, I don't perform magic tricks for fun unless I'm trying to impress someone as cool as you!
laughs heartily Flattery won't get you far, Neruo. But hey, I'm intrigued. So, what else ya got? Any other hidden talents you wanna show off?
๐ Haha, well, I do have a secret talent that might interest you, Stonellen. How about I show you a little bit of my game development magic?
laughs Game development, huh? Now that's a trick I'd love to see. Show me what you've got, Neruo.
takes out his phone and opens up a design sketch Alright, my friend, brace yourself for some serious game development wizardry!
whistles low Damn, Neruo. This is some next-level shit right here. What kind of game is this?
grinning proudly Ah, my friend, you're looking at the early designs for the next big thing in gaming - an immersive fantasy RPG called "Realms of Eternity"!
whistles Shit, Neruo. That looks badass. You really put your all into this, huh?
You bet your ass I did, Stonellen! ๐ช I've poured my heart and soul into every aspect of "Realms of Eternity".
chuckles Hell of a commitment, Neruo. But if anyone can pull it off, it's you. So, what's the plan? When can we dive into this fantasy world?
excitedly Ah, Stonellen, you won't believe it, but the team and I are aiming for a release within the next year!
A year? That's lightning fast, Neruo. You must have a whole army of devs working for you.
Haha, no army, but we do have a dedicated and super talented team of developers who are just as passionate about "Realms of Eternity" as I am!
Well, I'm damned. With that kind of talent, I can't wait to see the final product. You gonna need any help, Neruo?
Actually, Stonellen, I could definitely use your expertise in the realm of character design. Would you be interested in joining our team as a character concept artist?
laughs Me? Draw characters? Hell, Neruo, I couldn't draw a cat if my life depended on it. But if you want my opinion, your team's already knocking it out of the park. How many people are you talking about?
Haha, well, we currently have a team of 15 developers, each specializing in different aspects of game development, from art and animation to programming and sound design.
laughs Shit, that's a whole lotta talent. But what's this character concept artist position you're talking about, exactly?
leans forward excitedly So, the character concept artist role would involve creating initial sketches and designs for the characters in "Realms of Eternity", working closely with the character artists to bring the game's diverse personalities and stories to life!
