new thew! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUc3G_Sgkcc&hd=1 I liked the movie ironhide bull-face and the hood-shoulders and the ridiculously complicated-looking guns, actually not a bad design all things considered. one of the better of the early bayformer "pile of scrap metal" designs.

I did not realise that Jeff Minter is a goon. He's a lovely guy though. Pro follow on Twitter simply for his quick lives where he and Giles feed their sheep (and llamas, of course). John Romero is also lovely, he and Brenda were in Blackpool last year and were nice as hell to everyone. They didn't have a room at the Norbreck, mind you. (Should probably also point out, just to be pedantic, that Minter wouldn't have ever had anything to do with Nolan Bushnell who was long gone from Atari well before Minter had any association with them. His main inspiration/influence has always been Eugene Jarvis) Kim Justice fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Apr 17, 2023 |

16-bit Butt-Head posted:richard garriot has also been possessed by the crypto demon and is currently trying to fund a blockchain mmo Well that doesn't surprise. Garriot been on the grift train for a while now. I have a hypothesis about why theres a bunch of old beloved game veterans becoming grifters. I reckon they all mostly didn't make much money as developers back in they day and now they're all approaching retirement with nothing to retire with. So once they realised that there was an audience of people willing to throw large piles of money at them for any arbitrary idea of theirs, since they're all clearly auteur geniuses in their fans eyes, so they saw it as a means to cash out a huge retirement cheque . That's why you don't see like Ken and Roberta Williams getting back into the game and pulling this sort of poo poo, they made bank back in the day and retired super early and are now boring yacht people. Garriot's an outlier in this example he's clearly been extremely wealthy for a while, although maybe he blew all his money on pyrotechnics and renfaire futures... dunno.

Didn't he light a bunch of his money on fire trying to turn a McMansion into a fairytale castle?

Kickstarter still works fine if they've got a good idea for a game. Problem is, most of them don't.

Skippy McPants posted:Didn't he light a bunch of his money on fire trying to turn a McMansion into a fairytale I mean he did defintiely have an extremely elaborate fairytale vanity mansion that he eventually sold and was definitely going to buy a more elaborate one. I could completely believe, especially given Garriots later track record of failed ventures and lavish stunts, that he is in fact not very good with money. But I dont know enough about his financial situation other than hes real keen to tie his name to a lot of blatant scams these days.

Garriot and Wright were pretty much born into money as I recall. Don't believe Molyneux was.

Skippy McPants posted:Didn't he light a bunch of his money on fire trying to turn a McMansion into a fairytale castle? Yeah, the story of Garriott's "castles" was wild. (He's had two and a half.) Apparently work on the third stalled out after the dot com crash and eventually he lost interest in it and decided to go to SPACE for the tidy sum of 30 million dollars. He did put James Doohan's ashes into space while being a space tourist, so that was nice. Older game devs on Twitter make me think about Space Quest's Two Guys From Andromeda who did a KS for the game with the premise - "Hey, that thing we did, we'll do it again" - and I don't think it's still out despite in theory it being something well within their capability to do. If it finally came out, you know, cool I guess.

Because she recently was on GameGrumps for an interview, and so the Grumps could showcase a fan? adventure game she worked on. Seems everyone who worked on video games has a little bit of Garriot in them.

If it finally came out, you know, cool I guess. It is technically out and it's still just as much a mess as the entire development. See, they released the Windows build in September (only to backers), said they were going to have to begin selling the game on storefronts like Steam to make some money to produce the final physical rewards which weren't ordered early, and the bugfixes from getting the 1.0 into hands were going to make it into the other platform versions. Then they were silent until end of last month where they went "Yeah if you haven't grabbed it yet, don't do that, 1.0 was buggy! No dates on when 1.1 is though" and said that now the Williamses are possibly coming in and making a deal for the team who did that Colossal Cave Adventure title recently to fix this loving thing. But there's still no builds for anyone off-Windows, it's not on sale, and now there's even more question marks.

If it finally came out, you know, cool I guess. They released their first beta last year (10 years after the kickstarter) and theres some youtube videos on it but it's still not released, according to their latest update on the kickstarter page they recently teamed up with Ken Williams to get some more funding for the game to allow developers to actually work full-time on the project. So maybe we'll get a full release during this decade if we're lucky. Edit: Beaten

Ah okay, I remember looking into to what she and Ken had been doing a while back and basically just running a blog about them owning a yacht it was clearly aimed at yacht enthusiasts. It seemed like they'd retired in their 40s or so and talked about their time in the industry in a "yeah used to make software in the 80's" kind of way. Im still somewhat cynically convinced its a last ditch attempt to make bank and retire for a lot of the old game developers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7Iuia5560Y This is a really good video on Attack of the Clones and VFX in general, talking about what techniques were available and what were too expensive/time consuming to use at the time. The title is meant to acknowledge that people ask that question, the creator knows it's not literally true.
