一 |     功勋卓著的资深游戏开发者 Harvey Smith（耻辱：顿沃城审判 series、original Deus Ex series）近日成立了全新的游戏开发工作室。该工作室被命名为 Black Pony Immersive，他此前效力于 Arkane Austin 工作室——该工作室在 红霞岛 失败后于 2024 年被 Xbox 关闭。

Just hours before a military exercise between the US and South Korea due to get underway on Monday, US President Donald Trump announced that Washington would reduce military exercises with key regional ally Seoul, citing his positive relationship with the North Korean leader and South Korea's lack of assistance with Iran, CNN reported.
Chinese experts see Trump's sudden decision to scale back military drills with South Korea as a signal of his intention to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula and possibly return to direct diplomacy with Pyongyang. However, they warned that a carrot-and-stick approach may not work with Pyongyang, which has already seen Washington renege on its commitments. If Trump sincerely seeks peace on the peninsula, returning to the negotiating table with a genuine willingness to engage should be the first step.
Writing on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump said "based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea."
"These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful," wrote the US president, noting that since it was too late to cancel the exercises entirely, he had asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to "substantially reduce" US participation.
The 11-day exercise, known as Ulchi Freedom Shield, was expected to involve about 18,000 South Korean troops. According to the US military, South Korean and US forces planned to conduct live-fire drills to test precision-strike and maneuver capabilities under complex operational scenarios, as well as river-crossing operations and the deployment of pre-positioned military supplies, South Korea's Chosun Ilbo reported.
Trump also reiterated his request for South Korea to help with the US war against Iran. "While somewhat unrelated, I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, 'No thanks!'" Trump wrote.
At a press conference of China's Foreign Ministry on Monday, a reporter also raised Trump's claim that he would scale back joint military exercises with South Korea, citing the high cost of the drills and his good relationship with North Korean leader, and asked how China would support the resumption of dialogue between the US and North Korea. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian responded, "we have noted the relevant reports. Maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and advancing the political settlement of the Korean Peninsula issue serve the common interests of all parties."
South Korean media Yonhap News Agency reported that Trump's instruction came as the situation on the Korean Peninsula remained tense again. The media noted that Trump's move can be seen as a conciliatory gesture toward the North Korea, after the White House repeatedly affirmed that Trump remains open to dialogue with Pyongyang "without any preconditions."
Trump has long sought to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula, but his first-term diplomatic efforts produced few substantive results. The decision to scale back military exercises with South Korea may therefore signal an intention to send goodwill and return to direct diplomacy with North Korea, an unfinished piece of business from his first term, Song Zhongping, another Chinese military affairs expert, told the Global Times.
Long-standing tensions between the US and North Korea are a major source of instability on the Korean Peninsula, Lü Chao, an expert on East Asian studies at the Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times, noting that the fundamental way to address these tensions is for the two sides to return to the negotiating table and resolve their differences through peaceful dialogue, rather than escalating tensions through displays of military force.
On August 13, a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea responded to the scheduled military drills between South Korea and the US. The spokesperson said that "it is our consistent principle of ensuring security to respond to a new level of a threat with a new level of a deterrent. DPRK remains steadfast in its will to frustrate outsiders' hostile acts with the most powerful and overwhelming force and absolutely defend the supreme interests of the state security," according to official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
On Saturday, Trump shared a photo of himself with Kim Jong Un, the top leader of the DPRK on Truth Social, and wrote that he and the North Korean leader "get along GREAT!"
During Trump's first presidential term, he and Kim first met in Singapore in June 2018, marking the first-ever US-DPRK summit. They met again in Hanoi, Vietnam in February 2019, and later that June in the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjom, according to Xinhua News Agency. 
North Korea's past dealings with the US, particularly the breakdown of bilateral negotiations without substantial progress, have eroded Pyongyang's trust in Washington, Lü said.
Therefore, if Trump genuinely wants to leverage his relationship with the North Korean leader to address tensions on the Korean Peninsula, emphasizing their personal ties alone will not be enough. Washington will need to demonstrate genuine sincerity and back its words with concrete action, according to the expert. 
。新工作室将专注于 Smith 曾参与开创并推动发展的“沉浸式模拟”类型。Smith 曾担任 耻辱：顿沃城审判 的联合创意总监、耻辱：顿沃城审判 2 的创意总监，以及 original Deus Ex 的首席游戏设计师（顺便一提，笔者个人将这款作品列为史上前十的游戏）。

二 | “我最喜欢的游戏记忆来自于看到玩家以创意十足的方式应对挑战，并深入探索我们的世界构建，”Smith 表示。“我们努力奖励玩家的好奇心和探索精神。在我们的新工作室，我们正在打造我们最热衷的那种单人游戏。”Smith 是沉浸式模拟游戏传奇人物 Warren Spector 的弟子，后者刚刚宣布退休。“我与 Warren 紧密合作了九年，学到了很多东西，”Smith 说道。“我们现在偶尔还会一起吃午饭。最近有一次我们吃完墨西哥菜后，他送了我一把他的吉他。我对 Warren 的感情深厚且复杂，但更多的是钦佩和感激。

三 | 对 Richard Garriott 也是如此。Origin 诞生了太多的美好。随着创意领袖们的推动，像奥斯汀、波士顿或欧洲的一些城市会时不时地迎来创意爆发。形成一种氛围。目前整个行业都深陷困境，奥斯汀也不例外。我非常激动能宣布 Black Pony Immersive 的成立。再次尝试为玩家创造奇迹。能拥有现在的团队，包括 Ricardo 以及曾与我们一起开发过 Deus Ex、耻辱：顿沃城审判 和 Prey 的伙伴，简直就像做梦一样。

四 | 我们对单人、叙事驱动、第一人称（叠了许多前缀的）沉浸式模拟游戏充满热情。

五 | ”“我们对单人、叙事驱动、第一人称的沉浸式模拟游戏充满热情。”当被问及从 Arkane 吸取的教训，以期带领 Black Pony 走向更好的命运时，Smith 表示：“在我看来，这是一个棘手且感性的问题。我热爱在 Arkane 与 Raf、Ricardo、Ben 以及其他所有人共度的时光。

六 | 我在 Arkane 工作了 16 年。公司的一部分仍然存在于它的发源地里昂。在那些年里，我们在德克萨斯和法国之间往返。公司发布了 耻辱：顿沃城审判、Prey、耻辱：顿沃城审判 2、一些精彩的 耻辱：顿沃城审判 DLC、羞辱2：界外魔之死、Mooncrash 以及 死亡循环。我们也参与了一些其他项目，包括最后的 红霞岛。

七 | 你提到‘更好的命运’，但老实说，想象一下，如果我们的新工作室能像 Arkane 一样持续 27 年以上，发布至少 4 到 5 部绝对的爆款，并且是一个超级有趣、有吸引力的工作场所，拥有我只能用‘狂热粉丝支持’来形容的经历，如果这一切再次发生，我绝对会认为自己是受到了眷顾。如果能再次体验到这些，我会感到极端幸运。据我所知，很少有地方能获得如此多的快乐和创意成功。这非常罕见，很难实现。”最后，Smith 被问及是否感到有责任继续传承沉浸式模拟游戏的火炬。“永远都有，至死方休，”他说道。“我目前正在玩 Killing Stone，这是 Steam 上一款非常聪明的卡牌构筑游戏。所以我作为玩家的口味很广。

八 | 话虽如此，沉浸式模拟游戏仍是我的最爱。

九 | 我对任何此类新作都感到兴奋。对 叛徒 抱有很高期望！还有 Marvel's Blade！Raf 在 Wolf-Eye 的新作！Gloomwood 1.0、Secret of Weepstone、Project Shadowglass、Peripeteia、Clockwork Revolution、Distant Shore Bretagne，还有那款主角是东欧巨型警察的游戏，甚至可能还有一部新的 生化奇兵 2 游戏。想玩的游戏比我实际拥有的时间还要多。”在 Black Pony Immersive，与 Smith 并肩作战的还有 Arkane Austin 的长期合作伙伴 Ben Horne 和 Ricardo Bare。他们正在组建团队，其成员的集体履历包括上述的 Deus Ex 和 耻辱：顿沃城审判 系列，以及 Prey 和 正当防卫4。他们承诺很快会透露关于首个项目的更多细节。
