Bungie's latest article in their Breaking In series of interviews is with Content Tools Team Lead Aaron Lieberman. He's working on Destiny's tools, the Grognok world editor and the Bonobo toolbox editor.

Over at Gamasutra, Shay Pierce wrote a piece entitled Game Designers and the Four Tribes of Artists, and then Sara Gross (also at Gamasutra) wrote a piece called Indie Elitism, partially in response. Response to what? Well, apparently Pierce had read some conversations on Twitter in response to Bungie's Destiny reveal that were a bit less than positive:

A few days ago when Bungie did their first reveal of "Destiny", my friend and former co-worker Josh (who is working on Destiny) was expressing some frustration on Twitter. Josh is a big fan of indie games, and was frustrated because many of the indie game developers he respects were seemed to be expressing immediate disdain for the game.

Josh in this case is Bungie's Josh Hamrick, of course. Pierce started in on how the indie game community has a bunch of snobs in it, but Gross apparently thought Pierce took it too far, or perhaps not far enough, or not quite in the right direction, and anyway ended up here:

I see no reason to vehemently snub the things that shaped gaming as we see them today. Why not embrace them - appreciate what they did for us? Some were pioneers once too. Before they made AAA titles, they made games in their parents’ basements, lived on pre-packaged garbage foods, and suffered obscene deadlines to help their creations see the light of day. They started somewhere too. AAA developers aren’t so different from us, indies.

Artist Jesse van Dijk has done some of Destiny's concept art, including the Citadel. He's just now posted some of those Destiny images at CGHub, but and there's other stuff on his tumblr to check out as well.

VentureBeat's Dean Takahashi has interviewed Bungie COO Pete Parsons about his role with the Halo and Destiny franchises originated by Bungie. Quite a few interesting tidbits in there, but perhaps the most interesting one reaffirms the origins of the idea behind the new IP:

Destiny is very much a product of everybody at Bungie, but its inception comes from Jason [Jones, co-founder of Bungie]. This is very much a vision that Jason has. Then, he gathers a small group of really talented people who have been here a long time, and they begin hammering on it. It's had multiple incarnations until it finally landed into what it is today. That's fun to watch. Not just on technology, but art and story. [...] As naive as this may sound, if Jason believes in something and he's ready to go for it, I'm in.

Freelance artist Kekai Kotaki has posted some of the concept art done for Bungie's Destiny on tumblr. Be sure to watch their tumblr for future imagery.

MoreConsole also has some video news and analysis pieces up about Destiny. There's one about the player classes and concept art, and then a frame-by-frame analysis of the PS4 reveal trailer. Both have been added to Destiny movies.

Dark Jedi from Dark Hole Games has put up a breakdown of the Destiny ViDoc. I've added it to the Destiny section of the movies page.

Dark Hole Games has a series of walkthroughs and let's play videos on their YouTube channel.

Polygon has a story about artist Joe Cross, who's done concept art for Dead Space 3 as well as for Bungie's upcoming shared world shooter, Destiny. That shot of the Pike speeding across the desert? That's his. What's more, he's doing other art for Destiny as well:

"I'm also doing a lot of the in game graphic design for Destiny," he wrote. "Graphic design is a passion of mine and an aspect of art that is under-valued or under-utilized in video games."

Check out the story at Polygon.

Deej attempts to boil down the takeaway from the last week of Bungie reveals: Destiny is an action game set in a mysterious world that you CAN play alone, but will be better well you play cooperatively (or competitively) with friends.

Also, mail sack.

DestinyHub also took a microscope to the Destiny PS4 Announcement trailer to take a look at what secrets each frame might hold for the final game. Take a look!
