RiME Developer Diary Released

This new video dives deep into the process of making a puzzle adventure game that’s accessible and intuitive while still feeling fun and rewarding. That’s meant designing environments and challenges to reveal information to the player through the exploration of quieter features like light, sound, perspective, and time rather than simple text prompts.

These subtler traits build over the course of the journey to create a deeper sense of personal investment and discovery while traversing the mysterious island your character has awakened upon.

RiME is available for digital preorder now on the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC via Steam, where it will launch on May 26. It will arrive on the Nintendo Switch later this summer. More information can be found by visiting www.rimegame.com

John Breeden II
As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
