After watching the show, the producers of the musical released a press statement in which they told how flattered they were when their show was mentioned on The Simpsons. The episode featured a reference to the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. The critical reception was very diverse, ranging from a plea to end the show to a statement that the show is on top of its game and should not be cancelled. In its original American broadcast, it was viewed by approximately 8.1 million people. The episode was written by Carolyn Omine, directed by Matthew Faughnan, and featured guest voices from Aron Ralston and Jackie Mason. The opening was a parody of the autobiographical film 127 Hours, in which the subject Aron Ralston loses an arm.
#LORD OF RIGEL SYNTH SERIES#
This episode's stories were primarily spoofs of the French film The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, the television series Dexter, and the American film Avatar. The episode is part of the Treehouse of Horror series, which is an episode divided into three separate stories and an opening that is a parody of scary or Halloween themed stories. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on October 30, 2011. We hope that the player chooses to play Lord of Rigel in the variety of ways that they can win the game." Treehouse of Horror XXII" is the third episode of the twenty-third season and the twenty-second Halloween episode of the American animated television series The Simpsons. That fate may even include the player leaving the galaxy and leave the fighting to the species. With the Lord of Rigel plot we tried to give players a strong story to build up the stage for the player to act out their own story and determine the fate of the galaxy. The open plot of Lord of Rigel also allows us creative freedom in the future for ourselves, but also for the player. In fact the player can choose to go it alone or build their own "side" and have other species join them.
However our plot takes the player only to this point and certainly doesn't lock them into having to side with either side. Those who have been following Lord of Rigel know that there has been a Galactic Cold War that has consumed the galaxy for many millennia, however the player enters at the next round of the Cold War where ten younger races have been given technology for them to enter the galactic stage and help one of the Elder races defeat the other. Of course we have to provide players with some reason as to why all each species exists and why the political stage has been set between the Elder Races and how is it that all of these species are expanding into the galaxy at nearly the same time. We have setup the galaxy and it is yours to mold into whatever you want. However what we wanted to convey to our player is the galaxy was an open place. Sure most games say "conquer", "destroy", etc. This week we are going to discuss how the plot of Lord of Rigel plays into the sandbox nature of the game and how its sets up some of the core game mechanics in Lord of Rigel.Īs many of you have seen Lord of Rigel's catch line is "Shape the Galaxy." When thinking about this catch phrase we wanted to encompass what Lord of Rigel is about. Thanks for joining us for Part 12 in our design series.
