The co-creators of Caves of Qud, our favorite roguelike fever dream, worked as narrative consultants on Marathon—which mostly meant they 'got to sit there in the room and throw completely absurd ideas at the wall'
Caves of Qud co-creators Brian Bucklew and Jason Grinblat served as narrative consultants for Bungie's Marathon. They described their role as contributing absurd ideas during preproduction, helping to refine the game's tonal palette and worldbuilding. While not claiming direct credit for specific in-game elements, they felt their influence contributed to the rich semiotics and atmosphere that define Bungie's games.
