传奇游戏设计师 Harvey Smith 表示，他曾恳求微软允许他的团队发布最后一个补丁，以改进评价不佳的 Xbox 主机独占游戏 红霞岛 —— 尽管当时他已经被“解雇”了。第一人称吸血鬼射击游戏 红霞岛 于 2023 年发售，评价不佳。事实证明，这是 Arkane Austin 的最后一个项目。 PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- A former justice official considered one of the main suspects in the killing of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse in 2021 was arrested Thursday in Haiti’s capital after being on the run for more than two years, police said.Joseph Badio once worked for Haiti’s Ministry of Justice and at the government’s anti-corruption unit until he was fired for alleged ethics violations weeks before the assassination.Badio was arrested in the neighborhood of Petion Vile in Port-au-Prince, National Police spokesman Garry Desrosiers said. Moïse was shot 12 times at his private home in July 7, 2021, sending Haiti into a political crisis. Several people had been arrested after Moïse assassination, including 11 men now in U.S. custody. Prosecutors in the U.S. have alleged that there was a broad plot among conspirators in both Haiti and Florida to hire mercenaries to remove Moïse and benefit from contracts from a successor administration.Last week, former Haitian senator John Joel Joseph — one of the 11 men in custody in the U.S. — pleaded guilty to charges related to the assassination. A federal judge set his sentencing for Dec. 19. The former senator was extradited from Jamaica to the U.S. in June accused of conspiring to commit murder or kidnapping outside the United States and providing material support resulting in death.Two other people also have pleaded guilty. Haitian-Chilean businessman Rodolphe Jaar was sentenced in June to life in prison. The sentencing for former Colombian soldier German Alejandro Rivera Garcia is set for Oct. 27.Among the people arrested after the killing are 18 former Colombian soldiers who are in custody in Haiti.Since the assassination, the Caribbean country has also experienced a surge of gang violence that led the prime minister to request the deployment of an armed force. The U.N. Security Council finally voted on early October to send a multinational force led by Kenya to help fight the gangs.Kenya has not set a date for the deployment.。
二 | 这家位于德克萨斯州的团队曾开发过 2017 年的 Prey，还曾参与过 耻辱：顿沃城审判 及其续作 耻辱：顿沃城审判 2 的开发。Smith 曾担任 2000 年 Deus Ex 的首席游戏设计师，随后担任 耻辱：顿沃城审判 和 耻辱：顿沃城审判 2 的创意总监。2024 年 5 月，随着 Arkane Austin 宣布关闭，他失去了工作，红霞岛 的后续更新计划也因此被取消。但该工作室一直在努力开发游戏的另一个补丁 红霞岛 version 1.4，旨在解决许多玩家反馈的问题和漏洞。在接受 The Game Business 采访时，Smith 首次透露，他必须与微软进行谈判，才能被允许回到办公室，以确保这个补丁能够面世。“我们完成了游戏，但评价非常糟糕，”Smith 回忆道。“然后我们又花了一年时间进行改进，修复了数千个漏洞。随后我们被裁员了，但当时 红霞岛 version 1.4 已经在开发中，它修复了大量问题。所以我们去找微软说，‘我知道我们已经不在这里工作了，但能否请让我们发布这个补丁？’ 值得赞扬的是，他们没有拒绝。”“他们让我们中的六七个人签署了表格，这样我们就能重新进入大楼。在被解雇后，我们发布了 红霞岛 version 1.4。
三 | 我认为如果首发时就有这个版本，虽然不至于惊艳世界，但它会是一款好得多的游戏。
四 | ”红霞岛 与 Arkane 所擅长的沉浸式模拟游戏大相径庭，它是在游戏行业狂热推崇实时服务要素的时期构思出来的。（这种推力至今仍有影响，据报道，索尼在收到负面反馈后正在重启其 Horizon multiplayer game。）“那是一个艰难的项目，”Smith 在总结 红霞岛 时说道。“Arkane 非常专业，但行业在增长，总有更多的人要养活。能接触到更广泛的受众是件好事。我们被卷入了实时服务游戏的浪潮中，而我当时愚蠢地认为我们总能成功。
五 | 我们能做到，把我们喜欢的东西和实时服务结合起来，加入昼夜不同的机制，设定角色职业。结果在这一切进行到一半时，新冠疫情爆发了。”两年后，另一家 Arkane 开发工作室的命运也悬而未决。目前正在开发 Marvel's Blade 的 Arkane Lyon 正在作为 Xbox “重组”的一部分被出售——尽管该团队及其项目的最终结局仍有待观察。至于 Smith 本人，他成立新游戏开发工作室 Black Pony Immersive 的消息刚刚公开。
六 | 这支由其他前 Arkane 成员支持的新团队，将再次专注于 Smith 曾参与开创的沉浸式模拟游戏类型。
