How to make the environment alive? Well its atmosphere. That means, other than the player’s fight against the mobs, what else is going on?

One example I would point out is the Return of the Kings game. They did it really well. On top of player vs mobs, they have civilians, ally soldiers and siege weapons. It really make you feel you are a part of a bigger battle.

Using the new TA dungeon as an example, they could have wild animals running away from the chaos throughout the game. They could add ally soldiers that you meet throughout the game, but they won’t follow you.

This is just one example. Atmosphere will change from place to place, depending on situation. And they need to be adjusted. For example a stealth mission will use different mechanics to make that environment feel alive. For example we might hear more chatta between the enemies (they can’t see us). We might see more enemies making out (haha).

Notice that atmosphere is totally separated from the player vs mob action. Its what’s going on around and outside the main action.

Words cannot express my disappointment in our education system. I hope English is your second language.

Then you clearly get a pass and kudos to you for learning a second language. I just have no clue what Temporal Broken means.
