you’ve got Boozer, his motorcycle, and Sarah. So Deacon really has three main relationships. I mean there’s something about that kind of a bromance I thought would be fun to explore in a video game. Particularly the concept of a bond that goes beyond family, that is sort of impenetrable.
The first couple seasons were fascinating to me. It’s based on “Hamlet” so the writing is very tragic, but very relatable, as is the relationship between the protagonist, Jax Teller and his friend Opie. at the time I was pretty impressed with Kurt Sutter’s writing on “Sons of Anarchy” because again, I don’t know if you ever saw that show, but it’s surprising in a way because it’s not what you think it’s going to be. But this concept early on, having a character that I hadn’t seen before, you know, like a Deacon Saint John with his sort of outlaw motorcycle background. Some of them are marketable, and some of them aren’t. As a writer, I come up with a lot of ideas all the time and some of them were feasible, and some of them aren’t.
It’s a collaboration between all of the creative heads.
We’re always looking for new IP, new ways to help sell the platform and we jumped at the chance, right? So we’re like sure, we’ll come up with an idea.
