Dante's Inferno Developer Diary - The Fourth Circle Greed

Dante is a no hold bard, unrelenting, never say die, just not going to give it. If anything sort of confronts him, he’s ready to go up against it. Kind of brutal bastard. Dante is not a good guy. He’s a guy who kicks down the doors of hell quite literally. Kind of -- basically. The thing about hell is like to find someone could stand up through all that and that’s really what would to make our character as bad ass as he became. As he goes through hell, he’s fainting and Virgil picks up and carries him over spots and that’s not a character that you could use for a hero. The real Dante was in Florence during Civil War. He was one of the politicians. Do want to do something a little bit more and so we made the bull choice to give him a passage of crusader. He’s had a pretty tragic and screwed up. A lot of the things in the past and he’s definitely not something like straight sort of action hero. And I like the fact that he’s a little bit more human and obviously into building this giant sight that most of us couldn’t live and I know because we built one for comic con so he’s definitely super human in that sense but there are certainly moments in the game where he’s not sure if he can go on. I think the story kind of demanded that he build it more complex. The first line of the poem is you know at the midpoint of the journey of life, I found myself in a dark forest and it’s a metaphor for him being confused to trouble about his own life but we wanted to go to the nth degree for the video game, so we wanted him to be basically have committed all these sense. Dante is all guilty of all nine sins and then some -- Definitely starts to see how his family factors 0209 and he might start to see some film in their faces as he goes into hell and how that sort messes with him. He has done a lot of bad things in his life. I think one of the important things that 0214 is when you realize that Dante also plays to redeem himself. The tapestry on Dante’s chest is basically this enormous symbol of guilt for him, summing up all the terrible deeds that he’s done or the terrible moments and memories of his life. The tapestry represents Dante’s realization that he needs to suffer for his sins. The same way that people have suffered by his sins the same way that people have suffered by his hands. Remembering horrible things, so we wanted them to be like nightmares you know. when we knew that we wanted like a really cool mechanism for chilling those kind of flashbacks in the game, he’s literally wearing sins of his past sewn into his chest and he’s the one who has sewn it in there. We unfold his past transgressions with series of flashbacks. Start to discover like how much of a bastard Dante really was. Greed specifically is a turning point you discover a lot more about Dante than maybe you even want to know about. Greed is a little more about of a cerebral level. It’s about puzzles of this very mechanized place with gears and motors as opposed to most of al is most organic. It’s in a lot of ways the most hellish level. People are being tortured there in ways that we haven’t seen yet. It’s almost a big stone factory of torture. One of the big set pieces of greed is the wheel of fortune. Everything with greed is going to be controlled by this persevere wheel of possibilities. What a waste for there are actually two characters in the poem. We’ve combined them into one. Technically, there are two people but they have been zoned together. One wants to hoard, collect wealth and the other one is to constantly spend wealth and they are stuck together for eternity to sorted it amongst themselves. Greed is all about torture and teasing people with the lure of gold and breaking them apart as they reach for this. Totally different sort of environment. You got molten gold, sort of 03:56 on the side. It’s a complex level but it’s pretty in the record. Greed is an interesting level because it’s really kind of a beginning of that too in a lot of ways. You’re going to leave greed behind to send down into the fifth circle and which is anger and that’s where the future swamp of the River Styx begins.
