quote:Flamefiend. Posts on the Lyceum more than here. I think he goes by Crunchy Frog on these boards. Measle came up here for Tropfest a while back. I'd have liked to meet up with him there, but I had to go back to SA for a wedding. I'll be going to Newcastle at some point in the year, probably won't bother looking up Milla while I'm there, but it's a possibility. I may also run into Thuryl down in Geelong, depending on who's where when. -------------------- Sex is easier than love. Posts: 1861 | Registered: Friday, February 11 2005 08:00 |

I guarantee you there will be hundreds of bugs, and no one will be interested in doing your work for you. Beta testers are there to give design advice and pick up obscure bugs. It's your job to take care of the many obvious ones. Pay the cash. It's very, very worth it. -------------------- SupaNik: Aran, you're not big enough to threaten Ash.

quote:Agreed. However, there are two drawbacks to this. First, as you pointed out, cutscene text is too slow to really work for medium or long speeches of any sort. It only works well, in my view, with short, snappy lines. Not a big problem, I think. It is awkward, but I don't think I've ever seen a scenario hurt by too little text. The shorter and terser, usually the better. I would like to be able to write somewhat longer passages before running into the 'talking heads' problem, though. Secondly, and I think more importantly, a BoA NPC graphic has nowhere near the personality of a BoE Dialog graphic at this stage. If some talented artists were to change this, I may well make the switch to BoA.

quote:Jealous? Good grief, no. And 'offended' is probably not the right word either. More like 'irritated and annoyed'. Imagine a guy who pulls his pants down and waves his old fellow around like no one's business and yells "Hey look at me!". Now, I've seen penises before. I have a penis. It's not like I'm going to cover my eyes and scream. But I really would prefer not to see some guy waving his sausage around. It's impolite, it's distracting and it's certainly not conductive to rational discussion. In short, yes, I would genuinely appreciate it if you put your salami away. -------------------- Sex is easier than love. Posts: 1861 | Registered: Friday, February 11 2005 08:00 |

Mods, could you PLEASE do SOMETHING about TM? I for one am getting quite sick of his profanity, and he has gotten away with it far too many times. It's gone beyond isolated incidents. quote:Well, to answer directly, some people would do so because they enjoy the music, and couldn't care less about the swearing. The artist may like to use swear words because they state his feelings more strongly, or possibly for a laugh (ala The Real Slim Shady). -------------------- Sex is easier than love.

quote:I don't know if it's 95% or some other figure. I don't know how many of the best scenarios are indeed inaccessible to most players (though I don't dispute that some would be). I don't know what the 95% actually want in a scenario. I don't even know what the 5% want. I don't design for this group or that group, I just make scenarios that I myself enjoy. It's my opinion that this is the only really practical option. Edit: While BoA has many more capabilities on a technical level, I think it fails at immersing the player properly, which is more important than cutscenes or 3D terrain. Thus, while I might have more freedom designing in BoA, I'd prefer to play in BoE, and so any scenarios I design in the future will most likely be in BoE.

Simple courtesy and respect to your fellow man is a good thing. Swearing is pretty impolite by its nature. I really see no need to make the issue more complicated than that, Ben. -------------------- Sex is easier than love. Posts: 1861 | Registered: Friday, February 11 2005 08:00 |

quote:I see no difference. Do most people consider 'sh!t' to be worse than 'crap'? Well, since UBB masks one and not the other, I guess they must... I think it's silly to get legalistic about swearing. After all, it's perfectly possible for a song to be obscene and offensive without using swear words. -------------------- Sex is easier than love.

I think you can get a much stronger sense of character in BoE. Diolog pics, clearer and more distinctive NPC graphics, etc. The atmosphere is a lot better as well, I think. I don't know. There's just something about it that 'works' a lot better on a subconscious level for me. -------------------- SupaNik: Aran, you're not big enough to threaten Ash.

I'm either the Program Director, Music Director, or Operations Manager, or possibly a combination of the three. I'm not really sure. Either way, being a 'personality' is only part of what my job is. I'm very close to the end of a 13 hour work day at the moment, and only 4 of those hours were on air. -------------------- Sex is easier than love.
