Just in time for Space Week Jason Ford, Mission Designer for Tabula Rasa talks about a Mission in Tabula Rasa. Who’d have thunk it?
Thanks Gametrailers! You’ll be first pick for our high-level raid party.
It’s actually an updated mission in a forthcoming update. It includes AI becoming self-aware and – as everyone knows – that’s rarely a good thing for more carbon-based Self-aware things. If RPS became self aware, you’d be in trouble, mark our words. The video is called Patches to Ashes, after the unlikely name of the AI in question, which brings to mind Bowie’s Ashes to Ashes (Which is very Space week) and Clarence Carter’s Patches (Which isn’t very Space week).


such a charismatic voice over.

That, I believe, is a perfect example of “reading voice.”

Sounds like the Turing Police should investigate the NCSoft offices for the ‘Ford’ replicant…

That’s the most players online ever, and they are all doing the same mission, amazing.

Also Kelly Vivanco’s Patches, which isn’t Space Week at all.

I thought that was Microsoft Sam at first…

But Tabula Rasa is not in space!

You have to go through space to get there!

god I loath that game. every second I played it in beta was a perfect example of my lack of willpower and my need to be eradicated by a self aware computer.

Did you follow the ‘related’ link to the WoW illustrated version of Patches? There’s just no escaping that game!

I was lulled into a trance by that guys voice.
Really not a good choice of voice over personal to get people excited about the game.
