Ask Anything About SOMA

[Thomas]

1. Thomas! What are some of you favorite horror-movies?
2. Was this game (SOMA) the original plan ever since you guys finished your last project? (Has there been any scrap-projects you can tell us about?)
3. What do you think is the biggest improvement about SOMA compared to the last games?
4. How do you guys come up with ideas? (How do you like to "brainstorm"?)

1) Coherence most recently.
2) No. But was some ideas for simpler projects (eg Amnesia DLC) if Amnesia didn't sell that well.
3) Production values (sound, writing, art, voice overs, music, tech-wise, everything!), narrative delivery and bringing forward the central themes in a much better fashion.
4) They are hidden a dark, evil place that we bring out through strange rituals. More seriously, most ideas come through lots of iteration.
