Mods Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Yup, going again this year. It's a shame Marek can't make it Is anyone else going? I've allocated 30 minutes of prime time with Charles Cecil so if there's any questions you want me to ask about BS3, BASS going freeware or anything, let me know here. A lot of q's were answered last year, but just in case you had any follow ups, like, WHY THE HECK DID YOU SAY THE POINT AND CLICK ADVENTURE IS DEAD!? lol I'll try and steal Half Life II aswell, as according to Marek, everyone is drooling over it. m0ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twifkak Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Are there plans to make BK (in-joke) 1 & 2 or LoTT go freeware? How much time/effort did you end up spending on BK 3? Is it true that adventures are more costly to make? If so, why'd you bother? Why is Steve Ince such a jerk? (Just kidding, Diamond. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJKO Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Hey, ask him if he'll marry me when BS3 becomes popular, and then put me in his will when he's old, so that I get lots and lots of cash, like Anna Nicole Smith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mods Posted August 19, 2003 Author Share Posted August 19, 2003 Hehe okay ^-^ And whats this BK in joke? Is it Burger King related? m0ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJKO Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 If I remember correctly, someone acidentally said BK instead of BS, and everyone tried guessing what the letters stood for. Bent Knife was amongst them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mods Posted August 19, 2003 Author Share Posted August 19, 2003 BTW, I thought LoTT was freeware now?? m0ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJKO Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Yeah, I think it is.. Oh, could you shout at some point during a HL2 presentation: "Have my babies, Gabe!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twifkak Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Originally posted by Mods BTW, I thought LoTT was freeware now?? m0ds Oops! My mistake. Yes, I found Bent Knife hilarious, at the time. Maybe I'm the only one. In any case, have fun at ECTS, and thanks for asking us for input. (And why isn't anybody else asking questions?) Also, as always, I'd love to hear what he has to say about episodic games (are they a good idea, feasible, profitable, comparable to TV shows, etc.).. but I don't want to hog the virtual mic.

Mods Posted August 20, 2003 Author Share Posted August 20, 2003 Can you explain what you mean by an episodic game? (I think I know, but im not that intelligent) and I'll be sure to ask him. m0ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Let me expand on twifkak's question, cause I think that's a really good one. Some people are saying the games industry should become less like the film industry (in that it takes big financial risks on single hits). Alternatively, game developers could choose to build shorter games that are released more often and at a lower price, using a model that's closer to the TV industry. My question to Charles would be: does he see more financial stability in that, and how does he look at episodic games from a creative point of view?

Mods Posted August 20, 2003 Author Share Posted August 20, 2003 Gotcha Thanks for that, its on the list. And I know what to say now when he says "Can you rephrase that please?" m0ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK. That's my question, too. (See, Marek? That's why you're in charge of the writing and the editing and things, and I'm in charge of, well, wait, I'm not even on the staff. I'm in charge of spamming the board and the Church, I suppose. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
