Prey 2s Demo mashed Nathan Cheever 2013-01-31 | NEW -- Andrew Borman found some of the Killian audio logs from the game and stitched them together talking about Tommy: youtube.com/watch?v=KGPOjDKvgLAORIGINAL --A mash of Prey 2's E3 Demo originally posted by Gamespot as 2 videos. They cut out the rocket boot moment, so there's a quick transition covering that transition.I can't find this on Gamespot's website -- perhaps it's no longer available? The great thing about this video is there's no E3 commentary or background noise. It's audio straight from the game experience! I also bumped up the gamma since it was originally extremely dark.Prey 2 is the highly anticipated sequel from Bethesda and Human Head Studios where former U.S. Marshal turned bounty hunter Killian Samuels tracks down targets through the vast alien vistas and clustered alleyways of Exodus.

Destineer Content Edit Outliner (2009) Nathan Cheever 2017-10-12 | From the larger article at: http://www.curiousconstructs.com/projects/dtech-redesignThis video was one of several tutorials for the proprietary editor I helped improve the feature set and usability. Six Days in Fallujah was created using this tech.This particular one was for the Outliner. The interface was a work-in-progress at the time it was recorded (2009), so you’ll expect some rough spots. The functionality and features however, were final for the most part.The video’s been through a couple conversions and the audio suffers the most with occasional pops of static
Six Days in Fallujah (pre-alpha demo) Nathan Cheever 2017-10-08 | Pre-Alpha internal demo from April 2008. There's no original audio track so I'm using a free track from YouTube to fill the silence.
Six Days in Fallujah pitch Nathan Cheever 2013-09-07 | Six Days in Fallujah was an interactive experience attempting to elevate the sophomoric attitudes the general public has regarding military tactical shooters. The publisher Konami Games cancelled the project when a small portion of the pubic believed the game was about killing real Marines or working with Insurgents.More info on my experience working on it can be found here:http://www.curiousconstructs.com/games/sdif/behind-the-scenes

The Suffering (ch0) - Level Zero easter egg! (with commentary) Nathan Cheever 2012-07-21 | Footage from the video game "The Suffering" released in 2004, developed by Surreal Software. After you complete the game, you're given the option to see the extended opening.To hear the Lead Designer Richard Rouse III discuss why this was cut from the original game, run over to the bird in the scene and pop on that cowboy hat! (or just listen to the video or read the annotations)Commentary transcript:Hello, my name is Richard Rouse. I was the lead designer and writer on "The Suffering". What you're playing here is what we called "Level Zero". This was a prologue we originally planned to be the first thing you played during the start of the game. It was added fairly late into development to provide a more interactive introduction to suck the player in. And I think it did a lot of good stuff: it added a great establishing shot of the island, foreshadowed the final boss. it introduced Torque's family, and I think it featured some of the best voice acting we had.But in the end we decided not to include it as the opening because it came off a bit contrived.It also didn't pack the punch of the death row sequence and further delayed getting to the real game.We've included it here as a bonus for finishing the game. So, I hope you enjoy it.

"Alley" is a Multiplayer level released on December 17, 2001 with the official "Multiplayer Map Pack 1".

The "Alley" map series were an instant hit with the fans, scoring 1st Place in AVP2 Multiplayer Maps of that season with a whopping 45% of the vote (2nd Place went to "Fury 151" with 14%).At the time, most Multiplayer maps were static mazes and arenas. "Alley" introduced multiple stages and interaction events. Blastdoors, secret routes, destructible objects, and a periodic rainstorm presented more strategic opportunities for each species. Aliens, Predators, and Humans all had special places to leverage their unique skillsets. This extra layer of choice and narrative helped blur the lines between robust Singleplayer missions and frag-fest Multiplayer matches.*Youtube recompressed something a year after upload.

Beta footage from the video game "Aliens versus Predator 2" released in 2001, developed by Monolith Productions. "Betrayal" is Mission 3 in the Marine campaign which takes place in the Forward Observation Pods suspended over a canyon on the planet LV-1201. While it was team effort to create this level, I was the level designer responsible for its layout, construction, baseline scripting, lighting, and partial texturing. The main character Harrison is captured and labeled as an escaped convict. When trying to contact his team, he encounters Tomiko who'll help Harrison only if he retrieves information on illegal activities taking place there.

Aliens vs. Predator 2: Easter Egg (Marine Mission 4) (poor audio)* Nathan Cheever 2012-02-16 | Footage from the video game "Aliens versus Predator 2" released in 2001, developed by Monolith Productions. "Betrayal" is Mission 3 in the Marine campaign which takes place in the Forward Observation Pods suspended over a canyon on the planet LV-1201. One of the few (if not the only) easter egg locations in the game! Once you jump on the conveyor belt in the Egg Storage room, you'll quickly move past the access point for the easter egg because the belt forces you in one direction.Continue forward, jump into the Egg pool, then swim under and up to the power switch. Turning off the stasis field for the Egg pools also shuts down the conveyor belt. Swim back to the first Egg pool, then re-enter the conveyor belt tunnel. Blowtorch the grate open. Snatch the goodies out of the weapon crate.Continue exploring further back in the alcove. At the end, you can jump up to a vent. Crawl through and you'll discover a secret room where a Predator was collecting trophies. He succumbed to a facehugger suggesting another Predalien is on the loose... The datapad entry was an inside poke at how the AvP2 team was yearning for greener pastures on other productions at Monolith (NOLF2, Tron 2.0, and Matrix Online). At the time Monolith was in 3 different office buildings in a Kirkland business park.For the complete, regular walkthrough of this level watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsvSW0H4rU0*Youtube recompressed something a year after upload.
