LEAD

Rob's still getting things set up at the new studio location in Indiana, so here's one more classic episode. Lead World Designer Nathan Cheever calls in to talk about Prey 2, a game he and Rob both worked on and loved! Despite its controversial fate, it remains one of the most popular cancelled games of all time (and our most popular episode overall). Join Rob and Nathan as they discuss his long career, and all the cool stuff in Prey 2 that you missed out on! With a VERY brief intro added by Rob: you can hear the Grid Snaps moving staff shuffling in the background :)

GSPC Classic Episode: Prey 2 with Lead World Designer Nathan Cheever

Gamers who grew up in the 1990s and early 2000s remember Prey, the long awaited 3D Realms title that almost became vaporware. Fortunately, Human Head Studios finished the game in 2006, and everyone expected a sequel to the first person shooter classic. That sequel was supposed to be Prey 2, which promised to break new ground in vertical level design, visuals, and bounty hunter gameplay. Alas, this game never made it into the public's hands. Rob joined the Prey 2 project in early 2011 as a level scripter, working closely with Nathan Cheever who was the Lead World Designer at Human Head Studios at the time. The two share their experiences on the project, discussing its design, systems, and how they keep the legacy of a cancelled project alive.  Topics covered:Nathan's early careerPrey 2's originsPrey 2 influences Rob's favorite Prey 2 weapon, sort of!
