Sorry. I have been away from forums for too long, it didn't occur to me . It won't happen again

Armageddon: Not my type either, but I will definately check it out when something is released. I'm not a fan of being scared, but the exploration of the sureal world fascinate me

I don't know anything about Unity. I'm not a game developer no, not other than helping out a little with games here years ago. I have no coding skills. I'm a storyteller and filmmaker

Peder: Cool!

Anyone here planning on pledging?

You should include a link to the Kickstarter!

There is a link at the end of the video bit.ly/Krillbite takes you straight to the Kickstarter. I'm sharing the youtube-link because the the video on Kickstarter isnt't showing HD (for some reason), so whenever I want to show off the game I share the youtube to make the best impression. And as Nikolas said, its really not hard to find their Kickstarter

Nikolas: I'm really impressed by the amount of views actually. Its on our own channel, just to show off our work really, so it hasn't been embedded anywhere big. Krillbite use the kickstarter link, naturally

Hi!

I was once a frequent user here back in 2004-2006 (I think). I haven't really been back a long time, so its fantastic to see the place is still active! I just popped my head in to ask if anyone here has heard of the much awaited, much discussed upcoming horror adventure 'Among the Sleep'.

The Kickstarter went live today and so far the response is marvelous! The reason I post is because I made the Kickstarer video, so I really want these fantasmagorical people to succeed! I am also really curious if any old-school adventure game lovers are fans of the game or genre I didn't know much about it before I started working with them, and I have never been a fan of horror - but I just might play through this once its out.

If you want, you can watch the video that presents the game here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blq8hp3E5I4

And for those who haven't heard about and might be curious: Its a game where you play a two-year old child! How awesome is that?! Its quite cool and looks amazing! Its not all horror either, its a horror -dash- adventure

Please check them out. They are awesome. And very talented

Thanks!

Personal attacks now eh? 

Sure if you haven't dismissed something outright in the end you can call everything you want crap.

And conflict shouldn't be avoided .. diversity and induvidualism should be encouraged 

Question everything but don't critisize just to critisize.

Which would mean what?

evenwolf:

Sure but that wouldn't work on me ... I've never seen a movie in the cinema that I didn't at least mildly enjoy.
If i'm unsure about a movie, I wait and loan the dvd. For 'the movies' I only go to see movies i know I will enjoy.

And it's more expensive here in norway. One ticket is allmost 16$ here.

Hehe .. yeah I'm sure it is.

But what I mean with that is I rarely critisize someone for their music taste ... I try to find the good things in that genre or with that band, even if I don't like it.

As a musician I know that there is allways things in every genre that can be interpolated into my own preferred genres.
Get insiration from everything. Never disregard anything simply because you don't like it.

The same goes for movies, as i've tried but failed to express

I'm going to study the practical side of filmmaking next year, and i'm sure we'll have to watch a fair few movies during the year and I'm sure I won't like all of them ... but there are without question things that can be apprechiated and things to draw inspiration from none the less.

Reactor 09 has gotto be pretty unique. A game with endings based on how you treat your 'sidekick'

Eh, what?

A famous guy becoming racist ... then you revealing to the world that you are a racist? 

Hey, no worries man  If a thread originally started with the info that a filmmaker enjoys video games can't morf into a discussion of movies vs. general oppinions what has the world come to.

I had to start arguing  I take the blame.

I actually like Dogma better than Jay and Bob and Clerks 2. It's all good.

Anyone want to set up a thread remarking the recent thinness of Kirk Hammet's hair that can morf into a discussion of mainstream music's inpact on the worlds youth?

Um ... What I'm trying to say is that ... well first of all ... I'm not saying that all rap is bad and all rock is good ..
I specified mainstream rap and punk wich I find to be watered down and commerical and way too based on trends.
All music styles have good elements and bad .. unfortunately the bad elements (in my mind) are liked by other peple.

I try to keep everyone happy and try to find good elements in everything... and not critisize people for their taste and or dislikes of my music\movies\books. I might not like everything but hey .. A movie with a plot that sucks and actors that can't act can still be enjoyed for the music and lighting.

Yet again I don't know where I'm going with this ... I can't even remember what I am debating for.

Ok you win.

I'm not really good at discussing movies or directors
I like what I like and ignore what I don't like.

Of course you don't give anyone credit for other peoples affection ... but I've never disliked a director for a film I don't like.... the experience goes further for me. The actors, the topic of the film, the actors, that to me is more important than the look of the film.

But sure Smith isn't a top director ... he makes the movies he wants to and has made a living out of it, and with his own words not sold out except for 'jersey girl' (which the calls the total sell-out movie).

Sure it's all based on personal oppinions and feelings in the end. But I feel it's wrong to rag on something simply because you don't have a taste for it. Accept it for what it is, and the people who like it. (Except for mainstream punk and rap.)

Man I suck at argumenting.

Trovatore: Yes they where ... they are featured in allmost every Smith movie from the Askewniverse.

He isn't a very good director, he can't do much except conversations (and lately even those are bad donkey sex jokes).
Anyway, if you're famous and give normal people attention, they'll become fans, no matter if your latest movies suck.

Oh come on .. thats a personal oppinion. You can't discredit a director simply because you don't like his films.
I'm not much of a Tarantino fan, the rape in Pulp I thought was too much. But I apprechiate the guy as a good director even though I'm not a fan. I'll give you the donkey thing in Clerks 2 was over the top, but it was hillarious and had another director (say Tarantino) tried the same it would probably be more discusting then it was in Smith's movie.

genious 

*edit*

Cool, the uploader of the video had a link to concept art and screenshots.....alot of it:

evenwolf:

Clerks 2 had at least two craneshots and a 360' .. thats gotto count for something 

but it always comes down to Kevin keeping it simple

I've allways read that he keeps most of the visuals up to the visual director thingy guy.

But sure on some level I get what you are saying ... but you either love the film or you don't ..
If you love a film or a book or etc. you tend not to critisize it. You just love it 

Those who don't like other stuff 

To end with a question for everybody.. what is worse - a great looking film with crap story and dialogue or great story and dialoge with less quality visuals?

haha 

I had no idea Blizzard had worked on this ... Would have been cool though ... Blizzard might have taken a diffrent route had the game become successfull. And then LucasArts would have had to compete with Blizz Adventure games, and thy might stilll be active in the field ... ah the trouser leg of time .. you never know which leg we go down.

Secondly, have you seen Clerks?    How could anybody NOT mature as a filmmaker after that?   Its like watching a play thats been recorded.

I have seen Clerks .. and sure its rough, but to the people who enjoy it .. we do *because* it's rough, had a small budget, and the entire movie is all about dialogue. Kevin Smith films are all about the dialogue.

Don't go and try to dismember my opinion because "you get" Smith.   Do you "get" his visual style?   Because he doesn't have one.

I know he doesn't have a perticurlar visual style .. he (smith) is the first person who'll admit that.

But when all you can say about a movie is "the filmmaker's dialogue is improving" well maybe the guy has other things to focus on.

What do you mean his dialogue is improving? As a fan, i can say that his dialogue is as great as ever .. not perticularly better than any of his other film and certainly not worse. I'd say thats the way he ordinary writes ...
But look at the movie. For you that movie must be 10x better visually than Clerks. Obviously the visuals have improved... it doesn't have the visuals of 'Pearl Harbour' but it's not bad?

Words are forgettable!   Time to make it a little more cinematic!

Now thats just lame ... sure you go to the summer blockbusters for the cool visuals, but for a movie that centers around the dialogue and characters .. hello?! It's not an action movie.. it's all about the clerks standing around talking

Wes Anderson, now there's a guy who makes memorable films.

I really don't know the guy so I can't take up that argument ... all I know is I didn't like 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou' but it had nothing to do with the visuals. And all I remember from 'The Royal Tenenbaums' is tennis and Ben Stiller cutting his wrist. So I don't know ... anybody else have an oppinion on this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warcraft_Adventures:_Lord_of_the_Clans

I found this a while ago ... WoW and Warcraft fans should get a kick out of knowing it.

"WarCraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans was a dark comical point-and-click adventure computer game under development by Blizzard Entertainment that was set in the Warcraft Universe, and cancelled before its release. Russian company Animation Magic located in St. Petersburg was out-sourced due to their experience in classical two-dimensional animation to produce the twenty-two minutes of fully-animated sequences, the game's artwork, the coding of the engine and the implementation of the sound effects. Blizzard then provided all the designs, the world backgrounds, sound recording and ensured storyline continuity. Four or five months after Blizzard had released Battle.net and Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal had shipped, Blizzard began development on a title that would be cancelled just over a year later.

Tagline: "An Adventure Game in the World of WarCraft."

They scrapped it because LucasArts were releseasing MI 3 and had announced Grim Fandango, suddenly their graphcs were outdated.

Best Rock song ever?!

Ok ok ... I can do this ... Ac\Dc, no wait ... Deep Purple... Maiden? Priest? Um... Aerosmith has got a fair few
Ok Ok ... A list .... Yes, a list ... I can't supply only one answer ...
That would be sacrlidge (Thats not how you write that) (I know) (So why did you write it like that)
(I don't know the right way) (What?) (Stop talking to yourself) (Sorry)

No particular order ... I think

Man on the silver mountain (Rainbow)
Hells Bells (AC\DC)
For those about to rock (AC\DC)
Smoke on the water (duh!)
Legacy (The Gone Jackals)

+ a million other

Gadzooks this is tricky.... someone should compile a list of the 20 most mentioned songs and make a poll, so we can decide once and for all the what the greatest rock song of the community's choice is. (That was a weird sentance) (Be quiet I'm not talking to you) (.... *sulk*)
