Join us as we count down to the New Year in Millennium City, Monster Island, and Force Station Steelhead!

Take a whirlwind tour through the inner workings of Cryptic Studios’ Development teams. In this video you get to meet the movers and shakers behind the games you love, find out how they work, what they care about, and how a game is born!

Today we’re answering community questions about secret identities, character creation, audio, attacks, stances, Nemesis personalities and more! Thanks to Arkayne, Chronomancer, and Absinthe for their answers!
There are a lot of areas where you influence your Nemesis. You choose his powerset, his costume, what type of minions he has and then the powersets that they use. For example, you could choose alien minions with darkness powers serving a Nemesis who has lightning powers. You do get to choose his personality: maniacal, savage, or mastermind are some of the current options. That will change his dialogue style. You won’t get to write his dialogue, but that choice will determine the type of dialogue he has.

We asked for cheese, and you gave it to us. You gave us gloriously super-wonderful-cheesy greeting cards – as well as some classy ones. You made us laugh and say “ooooh” and sometimes just scratch our heads in confusion. We salute you and thank you for adding cheer to our holidays. Now, we share with you the top three winners (in no particular order) of our Create-a-Card Contest. We hope you enjoy these as much as we did!

It’s that time of year again, when stores bombard us with things we ought to buy for our loved ones, when people start bringing in tons of cookies to work, when gyms begin planning their January specials for all of us who’ve overindulged in those cookies. It’s also that time of year when we, inevitably, either send or receive cheesy “season’s greetings” cards. Except – we don’t have to stick with those cookie-cutter cards. We can make our own cheesy greeting cards! We have the technology: we can make them better, stronger, faster!

While you’re waiting to fight in the streets of Millennium City, why not have its shining towers on your desktop? You asked for it – we’re delivering it. Presenting a new wallpaper featuring the super City of Tomorrow!
