Character development seems to be the topic of conversation over the last couple updates, and that's not just because I like to talk about them, being that it is my area of development, but rather because there is a large scale development effort going into them at this current state in development and so the topic at hand even within closed doors is the same thing. So here are two more.
A couple updates ago we showed of a few of our characters, more specifically Mishkin and Alec Trevelyan (006), and we threw out the idea that we were going to make two versions of Alec Trevelyan. First and foremost the version you saw 2 weeks ago was the 006 model, which was when he was still with MI6 and was still a good guy. Now we also have the Alec Trevelyan (Janus) model, which is after he was burned in an explosion 10 years prior and is now an arch enemy of James Bond. The team thought it would be a great chance to add another character to the large selection of characters in goldeneye, even if it's only one. It's a nice little touch that will give people the chance to either pick 006, and be on the MI6 team (you can't be 006 and be on Janus), or be Alec Trevelyan and be on Janus. We actually threw around the idea to make both neutral characters, and so whomever picks one or the other would go to the specific team and nobody else could pick the opposite character for the opposite team. The reason for this is so that you don't find yourself shooting at yourself just because someone on the other team has either Alec Trevelyan (Janus) or 006. This hasn't been decided on, so it's still up in the air, but for right now you can pick him on both teams even if someone else already picked him for the other team. -- We'd love to hear what you have to say on this topic.
