Title: Interviewing AGSers(Now Dualnames 10/01/2014)
Post by: Dualnames on Mon 28/09/2009 15:36:59

Ditto.  Vince inparticular, judging from both the interview and his calm and considered contributions to the religion thread, seems like a thoroughly nice fellow.

Good work, DN.

Heh, I just noticed that on my interview (which I swear was broken into more paragraphs! ;)) I gave the link to the Kickstarter page and added </shamelessplug> at the end, which then incorporated itself into the link, leaving it broken!  Little fix there, please, dual?  :-*

And yeah, super good job on these Dualnames!

If anyone's looking for more AGSer interviews, I did a couple a long time back that you might enjoy. (http://xiigames.com/category/twelve-interviews/)

Loved your interview, Ben!

Duals, I'm glad you are doing this. It's great to hear what other AGSers are doing and what they are up to.

Although, looking back at mine, can I have a re-do? ;) Everyone else sounds so intellegent and interesting, I sound like the opposite. I'm certainly not interview worthy :P

Yes, excellent job on the interviews.  Very interesting to read.  I'm glad you're doing them.

And I imagine 'You fight like a....' is cow.  The only cow I can think of is Ponch's dancing cow avatar.  Am I right? :P

Luckily, I got here just in time to get that quote ship-shape.

Personally, the first thing I thought of was Austin Powers. Last line of the first Austin Powers movie: "Who throws a shoe? Honestly, you fight like a woman."

Nice series of interviews so far. By the way, do you have any plans to interview CJ at some point?

I knew I was missing some details about how fantastic your avatar is.

Perhaps it's not a Monkey Island themed puzzle, maybe it's: 'You fight like a... girl'.  And he'll be interviewing Ivy or Mash?
I'm never any good at these word puzzles. :P

Make sure you ask him when he first developed a fetish for drawing women with huge breasts.  That should prove for a most enlightening response.

Sadly, I was not asked that question. But, even though I'm now a famous AGSer worthy of interviewing, I'm still a man of the people. To answer your question:

Puberty.

In my defense, I'd like to point out that I resisted the urge to give the primary women characters in my game huge boobs. Noriko, Debbie, the Chief -- all reasonably sized breasts. But the Mayor is just a recurring character, so I indulged myself and went a little overboard on her. Or a lot.

Also, I'd like to point out that I'm not just about boobs. My women have ample booties too. As evidence, I offer this screencap from an unused portion of the "Electric Sexytime Tom Jones Dance Party" from The Forever Friday part 2.

(http://www.barnrunner.com/pics/misc/NorikoBooty.png)

It speaks for itself, I think.

Clearly, I'm not just about boobs. I'm a well-rounded person.

Nope, but he should totally interview (by which I mean nag about when they're going to release stuff, mainly):

-CJ
-ProgZ
-Nikolas
-TheJBurger (actually, everyone working on Resonance  ;D)
-LimpingFish

Okay, that's weird. I make my own steak sauce. It's a hobby. Store brands aren't thick and hearty enough for me.

As Dualnames mentioned, people have offered, but Barn Runner remains a one man show. This series is my one creative outlet, and in the past it was easy to find the time to work on the games. But 2009 has been extraordinarily busy. But the calendar for 2010 is looking to be more manageable, so hopefully things will get back on track.

Also, after the Forever Friday opus comes to an end, the next couple of games in the series are self contained adventures. Barn Runner 9: Collect Call of the Siren is a two-parter, and Barn Runner 10: This Shameless Tomorrow is a big hunk o' game like The Forever Friday, but those are a ways down the road. Hopefully, smaller, self-contained games like Barn Runner 6: Even Rich Dames Cut The Cheese will help me get back on schedule.

If not... well, let's hope CJ keeps supporting AGS for the next six or seven years.

And damn it, Ben. Stop using your mental powers! Surfing the web in my underwear is one of the few pleasures that I have in this busy life. I don't need you mucking it up for me. I already get enough grief about it from my co-workers!

Can I suggest that it might be interesting to interview the creators of freeware adventure game engines?

Chris Jones is the most obvious for an AGS blog, and it would be great to hear from him. It would also be interesting to hear what the creators of engines like Wintermute and Lassie have to say about classic games, underground adventures and the fact that adventure games seem miraculously to have become commercially viable again.

Another one so soon? But we haven't had time to talk about the latest one!

Regarding Nikolas' interview, it's always interesting to find out what got people into AGS in the first place. "Gift of Aldora" was something I was really looking forward to -- just to see if it could be done, as much as anything else. Sadly, it was not to be.

Also, it was nice to have a "behind the music" installment of this series. It's interesting to see the world of AGS from the perspective of someone who is a specialist (music and sound) instead of the "big cheese" of the project. It would be cool to see more of that in the future.

Even more importantly, now I finally understand why Nikolas is using that pic as his sig file.

Keep up the good work. Interesting interview as always.

What a party p00per ::) Hey, what about a mock interview? I'm sure that could get interesting ;D

CJ declined to be interviewed? I'm shocked. I realize that the thought of joining such an elite organization is a heady thought sure to make the knees of even the most stalwart man go all wobbly, but I hope that CJ will soon come to his senses and step up to the plate.

It's an interview for the AGS blog, man! It's the highest honor your country can bestow upon you. Plus after your interview, you get a snazzy blue satin jacket with your name on it. (Okay, I had to have mine custom made at the local sporting goods store, but I still wear it with pride, dammit.)

Face up to your fears, CJ. Be a man, step into the spotlight, and get yourself a neat blue jacket. Plus you get to have your photo up on the wall of the clubhouse next to Ben and Nikolas. It's awesome!

One of the members from your personal cheerleading squad stole my suave new Celebratory AGS Blog Post Interview Jacket, Ponch.  :(

Please make sure she sends it back once she's done with it.

Ben: I'm sorry if one of my groupies (I prefer to think of them as the "ponchettes") stole your official AGS superstar jacket, but I'm sure you'll get another one soon (based on your ability to actually release games, unlike my much less amazing ability to just talk about games I might release one day).

Mods: If no one feeds my ego, how on earth will I ever develop a proper disdain of the little people? I can't make it into the "where are they now?" bin under my own steam, you know!

p.s. Seriously, who's the next interview subject? Perhaps SSH can make it the focus of the next blog poll?

Hey, let's not kid ourselves. The best things in life comes from cows! Beef, milk, leather, greenhouse gases.

When I hired Bessie to be my avatar, I told her in no uncertain terms that the day she stops dancing is the day I get new leather upholstery for my Ford. Until then, she gets full dental and all the grass she can eat (while dancing).

p.s. What about interviewing SSH? He's almost as much of a big wheel around here as CJ. If Chris won't face the daunting spotlight, maybe Andrew will?

I mean: what a nice interview! An opportunity for us to say thanks for the time and effort that have been put into AGS is always worthwhile.

And in spite all of our host's diplomacy, I think it's pretty evident that A Tale of Two Kingdoms and Ben Jordan 6 are CJ's favourite games. I refer to you Exhibit A (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/)!

I always figured that one of CJ's favorite games had to Larry Vales. It's the only game that has its own smiley after all.

Anyhoo, good interview. But Dualnames should have used the picture of Chris with a mustache at the top of the interview. That way we could all be wowed by his machismo while we read.

Shame on you, Dual, for not asking about the blue cup. Fortunately I found another interview containing that question, though it wasn't what I expected (Chris getting the idea for AGS while drinking coffee out of a blue cup).

Hmm..

I think a better story would be :

Chris was standing on his toilet, hanging a clock.  He slipped and fell, bumping his head on the sink causing him to be knocked unconscious.  When he came to he had the idea for the flux capacitor AGS system, which is what makes time travel adventure game creation possible.

Hey, a new interview! See what happens when I go away on vacation for a couple of weeks? I miss all the good stuff.

Nice interview, Dualnames. I'd say something witty and/or clever, but I'm too jet lagged to think straight just now. Who's next in line? SSH? Ryan Timothy? Mash Potato (owner of the most awesome bee avatar on the internets)?

And Ben, are you telling me there are towns that don't have the intertubes? What the hell do they do for fun? How can they get their daily fix of new Ben304 games?

Anyhoo, good interview. Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. I'm off to bed now.

Oooo... Oh no.. lol  I think you meant to replace my name with a much more interesting chap.  Someone who actually releases games. :)
I've got so many games on the back burner and only one of them is an adventure game.  Go figure.

The games I'm working on right now are:
Road Racer 2.
Strategy game + level editor.
A Christmas adventure game (which I'll probably hold off until next Christmas now since it's not even a 1/4 complete).

Everything else is either abandoned or just hasn't left notepad or my brain yet due to those 4 (including the editor) distractions and playing games.

One day... One day.. Just not yet :P

I'm sorry. I have to pull this up on LOL quota:

LOL I HADN'T EVEN READ THE NEXT SENTANCE OF THE INTERVIEW!!!

LOL!!! OH MAN.

Pee!

You're killing me  ;D

Can't....read....more.....yet!!!

Edit: Finished. Great interview! One of the best I've read in a long time, very lively! Shame no panorama in your latest game Fish sir but whatever. Probably still be amazing! Yay you and Yay AGS blog and I agree a senior achievement is having your game in printed mags...those were the days :)

I like this interview.  But they are all so short and lacking in overall content and questiony quality.  I'd like to see more comprehensive interviews that dig deeper, demand more, and deliver touchdowns/goals.  In other words, less random, more well-ordered and thoughtful interviews that show the interviewer has put real time and effort forth.

Sorry. I like the humour in the blog interviews. Deeper discussion is best for those podcasts, which is why I never bothered - they seemed too jokey. But maybe I got that wrong. Maybe I aers teh....oh okay, I won't say it, I know it's taboo nowadays ;) ISH one one one

I enjoy the light humorous approach to the AGS Blog interviews. I like to think of them as a getting-to-know-AGSers-type arrangement.

There is also room, though, for more in-depth articles. Personally, I'd like to see some round-table discussions on various adventure/game/design-related subjects.

OW! My ego! Now I'm never going to have any luck with the AGS ladies.

Also, I like the "getting to know you" aspect of the interviews. That's not to say that I wasn't hoping that when I was interviewed that I'd be given the opportunity to give a ten thousand word angry screed about the quality of today's youth and the fact that the Freemasons are still running the world. Alas, those questions never came up so I had to fill space with my love of the old Airwolf TV show. I was good either way, really.

Lastly, cute and dinky as he may be, that bald hamster is still watching me... with his beady little eyes... even as I type this... Ah! He's going to swallow my soul!

If I was OK with using unoriginal music in games I'd definitely have The Great Gig in the Sky as the end credits music.

That proves my theory almost all AGS people LISTEN TO PINK FLOYD. You can't even begin to speculate the list of great developers that do. :D Also it'd be nice to see that song as the end credits, since you promised.

Star Trek Newton is one of the few games I made time to play recently. I enjoy the way it nicely captures the retro look and feel of the old series (the only true Trek, in my opinion). Looking forward to the next interview!

Some questions proved to be quite a challenge to write answers to - mainly to present the development in a concise and family friendly manner. A lot of stuff needed to be cut out in the end.

Maybe try pretending that he won a lottery. Then after he contacts you say you need to do a quick interview with the winner (just for an anonymous statistic) before you can give away the price.

An idea for getting in touch with Yahtzee would be emailing Matt from AustralianGamer.com, as the two of them are room-mates last I heard. They seem to have both been fairly busy lately, though.

Dual has been here since he was 11. ;)

Also, the idea of interviewing fictional AGS characters tickles me to no end. "Five Questions with Mika Tan: Learn what she REALLY thinks about Michael Gower!" There's some good tabloid fodder in there. Hee hee.  :D

Explaining the impact Ghost has left to me as a member of the AGS community after first meeting him, and our general talks over the years, would take forever. A wonderful person, a mentor to my favorite AGS member, and an amazing game designer. Originally I first talked to Ghost after apologizing about demanding DITA (Daemons In The Attic), now I can safely say, he has better projects coming up. The only man with the courage to pull a Yahtzee and come back. To haunt.

Perhaps very irrelevant to state, but reading interviews won't get you nowhere someone's psychosynthesis and persona. I knew Ponch before it, and I believe the best way to meet someone in the AGS community is via private message and working together on games. If anything those interviews hightlight members not their personalities.

Dualnames has made it his mission in life to interview as many AGSers as possible, which is a nice service but would leave one AGSer out. I mean, the man can't interview himself, can he? So let's return the favour and play a game of 20 Questions with the man I always imagine to reach for his towel when things get rough. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Spanos!
