Yufster Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Did you fall for that? Wow, you are more gullible than I thought. Here's your free chocolate, you candy grubbing little--- I mean, where ARE my manners? What I meant to do was show you this: The first one is from a cutscene in BR, the second are two backgrounds. And I did them myself! Psychadelic! This is sort of later in the game, when they're kinda in a transition between the Real World and the Dream World. That's why it's so Psychadelic. It also gives me a great excuse to make mushrooms into doorways, use pyscho colours, and cut and paste stuff randomly. Hurray for dreams! I'm showing you this because it's supposedly being released tomorrow, for beta testing, but I think I'll keep it late into sunday night, because what use it beta testing, when you have 30 characters, and only 8 dialogues. Besides that, there is this one scene when Ian is going into the dream world... this one scene, where he likes to slap his face into the ground instead of taking normal, human strides. This is happening for absolutely no reason, apparently. I say we let him smack his face into whatever he wants to, but my common sense is telling me it may be a good idea to fix this bug. The story takes place inside a dream, and not all the backgrounds are as whacked out as that, let me tell you. That's a particularly insane part of his dream. Oh, and that doesn't mean he's dreaming the entire game. There is a world Ian has accessed through his dreams. It's all real. Well, you know. I'd love to know what you think, because the pressure is building up, and I'm really excited about this. I've arranged work experience in Torc Interactive, this game developer in Donegal, and not only am I psyched about working there, I'm really looking forward to seeing the actual game design process. Unfortunately I have to wait until March, because they're in the process of moving. If you wanna hear music, see sprites, or hear the story of this game, ask and I'll provide. I am just using SO many "Psych" words!!! Psycho! Psychadelic! Psychadet! Psychotic! Psychonaut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yufster Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 I've been up all night writing dialogue. As in, all night, every day this week. There's only 28 characters, I don't get how it amounts to so much talking. Here is a wonderful excerpt: IAN Aw man, could you hurry up a bit? My feet have gone numb. MORT No! And here is the reason why: I'm going to tell you my secret plan, in excrutiating detail, and tell you how to deactivate the nuclear warheads, before leaving you to suffer a slow and painful death, alone, in this room. IAN A dastardly idea! AYA Picket Fence! Nikola Testis! Bill Gates! MORT I'll leave the key right here, on this table. I'll probably remember it on the way out. Anyway, we'll skip the formalities. Manuel, kill this man immediately. And get me a dictionary. I rather fancy some light education before supper. What is for supper tonight, Manuel? MANUEL World Domination, Sir. MORT: EXCELLENT!

Alia Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 :lol: EXCELLENT. This game is going to rock. I'm PSYCHED. But not just because of the game. Also because of some bovine thing...I can't quite recall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yufster Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 That dialogue was fake, by the way. Because somebody just asked me whether that was real dialogue. I thought it was quite obvious it wasn't... Anyway, Yes, I can remind you. The cows are coming out to the pasture, to feed on the sweet, sweet grass of doctored award ceremonies. Does that refresh your memory? But it's not just a cow, but the cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alia Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Andy: So...anything more on the cow situation? Ernil: Huh? Yufster: Get on AIM. NOW! Andy: I'm training a puppy. Something about a cook from Disneyworld. Ernil: OH! Yufster: Huh? The game is going to rock because....hey, you should put that dialogue you wrote in there! I like it a LOT!

Yufster Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 It was late when he got them, Andy. He's probably going to regret it in the morning. I can't wait for tomorro later today! Oh wait, Yes I Can. Because I'm supposed to be releasing BR now, today. And it's not finished. I'm going to get a few minutes sleep. I've been up all night, and all yesterday, so I'll sleep til 1am and work til 6 to fix up the rest of the bugs, and release it by 7pm tonight. Then it's still today. Hell, it's still today at 11.45pm tonight. I love writing dialogue, but I do hate linking it all up with return functions and turning off and on all the topics and strings and and and everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Anne Bonnie Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 WOW! U made that!? I'd kill to be able to do something like that! (No joke;) ). Seriously, that's incredible! Can U show me how to do that? *Bonnie's eyes go size of dinner plates- she smiles in a faintly psychotic way* Good luck with the lauch of it, anyhow!

Yufster Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 Skipping rarhadgasdgsdg---- I hate Windows sticky-keys!!! Skipping the formalities and opening and all... The Dream World is accessable through our dreams, and totally like, exists! It is built from the dreams of people, and it expands every day across a wider plane. But recently, these Dream Demons have been escaping from the Dream World and [gasp]Kidnapping Helpless Children!!! They take their spirits to the dream world and hold them hostage, for some reason. Ian enters the dream world (Cue massive sleeping pill overdose) to save the children. The dream world is meant to be abstract, but it just ended up looking plain silly. Since it's built from peoples minds, it probably does look silly anyway. But there you have it. I know I have the weirdest dreams, anyway. Like last night for instance. I had this dream that my mother was going to meet up after 4 and we were to catch the train back to waterford together. Well, it was getting dark and we totally missed the train. So we had to wait around for the next one. The odd thing is, this dream was actually interlinked with a dream I had last week, and the world was structured the very same. So now we waited around until the next train, and it was raining and pitch black. We didn't wait at the train station but at a school nearby. Then we went to get the train, and I kept forgetting my coat, or my bag, or my other bag, or my pencils. Constantly. It was so annoying. And then get THIS; we were walking really slowly to the station and I thought we were going to miss the train again, and I saw SIERRA ENTERTAINMENT written on the side of this building. I stopped dead and whispered, "Sierra Ente-t-t-tainment!?" And this guy was walking past and he goes, and I kid you not, in PERFECT french, he says, "Oui, we have moved to Ireland now. We're looking for Artists." and I understood this french perfectly, although it was in french and not english like I just wrote, and then we missed the goddamn train because of this stupid french guy. So I don't even LIKE Sierra. But we went back anyway, and guess who --- Okay, at this part, the dream gets weird. See, last night me and Andy were very excited about something, so I guess that made me dream weird last night. I do not usually dream stuff like this. So anyway, I got a bit lost here, but I think what happened was that I went back to Sierra Entertainment and applied for a job. Now -- it's too weird -- but... Bill Tiller was the lead artist there, and he started looking at my resume. Don't ask why I carried a resume into town for no reason. Perhaps I like to take my resume for jolly evening walks or something, but it gets weirder. Bill took my resume into this room to... look at it, or whatever, so I sat down and started clicking away at one of the computers. It gets weirder. Because the owner came in to interview me and he was.... Look, I don't know why I subconciously think that Tim Schafer owns Sierra. Perhaps I subconciously think that Tim Schafer owns all things. Perhaps I couldn't remember what Double Fine was called or something, and there's been this whole outcry about the new LSL game. But it was Tim Schafer, and I think the pure shock woke me up, because the next thing I remember is trying to remember how I ended up on the floor. PS. I think I got the job, though.

RicardoLuigi... Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 that sounds like a very exciting dream. although i'm sure you didn't have that dream. unless you did and i'm wrong. and in that case then i'd be a fool. however, i'm already a fool, so what difference would it make? that is the true question.

Yufster Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 No, wait! I remember what happened next. I did get the job! But I got really disappointed because we were all working on a sequel to some movie-based game, and it sucked bad, and I didn't want to say anything because I was afraid I'd get fired, and I had to share a desk with this other guy and he kept shoving me off the seat. Because we also had to share a seat. And I kept apologising and sitting closer to the edge of the seat, and eventually I just stood up altogether and let the moron have his goddamn seat. If it meant THAT much to him, I mean. So then all I could do was stand back and watch everybody else work, and I didn't know what to do, or where to go, and then --- That wasn't a nice dream! It was a nightmare!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alia Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 That's wretched. I hope it's not a premonition or anything....oooh that'd be BAD. Really bad. And severely unpleasant as well, I'd venture a guess. *prays that for that ONE DREAM at least, Yuf was not using her psychic abilities* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yufster Posted November 2, 2003 Author Share Posted November 2, 2003 I FIXED THE FACE SMASHING BUG!!!!! You know, there are two people in this world that kick ass like no other. One of them is Tim Schafer. The other is Chris Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yufster Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 10 letters (I think), 2 names (I think), 1 guy (I think). And his name is Chris Jones (I think). I have a very important announcement regarding the game, and lobster. They're separate announcements, by the way. It's... Ding Dong!!! Intercom Announcement Time!!! Beyond Reality has its first retail outlet store, thing. Possibily, I am not using the correct terminology here. But, regardless, I have secured a selling point in primary schools around the country. Or at least, one. What these suckers won't know while they're handing over their hard-begged cash, is that it's also available free, for download, on the Internet! I'm pirating my own game! I have inquired about ripping down their library system and replacing it with a video game outlet, but so far they've been pretty doubtful about this. Wait 'til I mention the pictures. Oh, which reminds me! I've been blackmailing some people in a few bookshops/game stores around the general Carlow area, and they're interested in protecting their marriages. So I think Beyond Reality has a little bit of space shelf in a few other, proper, non-primary-school stores. Word of the day: Spangle. EDIT: Oops, I forgot the update about Lobster. It was a really important message, and it concerned the secret that has been secretly hovering about over the forums, in a most discrete manner. However, now it is too late, because people may have read the first announcement. If I added the second announcement now, they may become confused. So I'll tell you about the Lobster, later. Yeah, later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
