Is there anything you learnt from the first Buffy game that you've applied here?

Yes. We got paid more this time.

It's a hell of a lot of work, writing one of these. The second one has six playable characters, so it was far, far more work than we were prepared for, even after having done the first one. Fortunately, it's also a lot of fun.

We had to write hundreds, which felt like thousands, of one-liners for the combat sequences. Talk about melting your brain. I just hope that unlike the first game, the quips are randomized better this time, because in the first one you only hear about 20 percent of the one-liners we wrote... and you heard a handful of them over and over and over.

"You want a piece of me? I'll give you the whole damn pie!" is a fun Buffy line. But the ten thousandth time you hear it, not so much.
