Yeah, I think so.

I mean, it was a couple of...

It was his incredulity when his cousin picks him up in an old car and he's not living this fancy American lifestyle, which was a kind of comic moment.

And then they go to the cousin's flat.

And the cousin also, even though he was a sort of a failure, was still upbeat.

And then when he talked to the cousin and he talked about his wartime experiences and how harrowing they were.

And I was like, can I make this work in a game?

It's very different from stuff you normally see in games.

Is it going to feel ridiculous?

And I remember being very scared because I thought it might be too much.

It might feel over the top.

I think, you know, the game's so pretty.

The artist is doing such an amazing job.

The game's looking, you know, I think we can get away with this.

Let's try it.

And then the motion capture, the animation came out.

I was like, yeah, it kind of works.

And I think that moment, those were both pretty early.

Once we had those, you go, okay, we've now got...

comedy and tragedy with this character, now it's working.
