Someone needs to start interviewing people who used to work for Coktel Vision.

 Wed Apr 09 16:54:25 +0000 2014

We now have a rather big movement for recognition of women in game industry, yet not a single person mentions Muriel Tramis #CoktelVision

 Wed Apr 09 17:06:10 +0000 2014

Tramis has a rather impressive list of credits that range from erotic adventures to educational titles for children http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,10719/

 Wed Apr 09 17:08:58 +0000 2014

there was this great talk at GDC, yet they kept referring the same five women over and over

 Wed Apr 09 17:10:04 +0000 2014

She designed all the games along with Gillhodes

 Wed Apr 09 17:11:13 +0000 2014

French.

 Wed Apr 09 17:11:53 +0000 2014

She mentioned in the GDC talk

 Wed Apr 09 17:13:05 +0000 2014

That list of Muriel Tramis' credits from MobyGames is largely incomplete. Just double it.

 Wed Apr 09 17:17:09 +0000 2014

there are about five names that get mentioned over & over when it comes to women in game history. There are more.

 Wed Apr 09 17:25:23 +0000 2014

Not surprising considering the biggest chunk of her career was spent in Coktel Vision

 Wed Apr 09 17:26:31 +0000 2014

Of course! I know it's a male dominated industry, but we still need to talk about more than 5 successful women in it

 Wed Apr 09 17:29:09 +0000 2014

I know Brenda Romero gets shit all the time for that Playboy game. I wonder how would Tramis' erotic games (w/ female protagonists!) fare.

 Wed Apr 09 17:33:58 +0000 2014

Something tells me she's not ashamed of them.

Did anyone ever have any issues with the way inventory management is handled in Veil of Darkness?

 Thu Apr 10 13:22:34 +0000 2014

Raising prices on indie games? Well, go ahead if you think your game is worth it.

 Thu Apr 10 14:17:11 +0000 2014

But I'm more likely to buy or pre-order a game on a whim if it's under $20

 Thu Apr 10 14:17:57 +0000 2014

And, let's be honest, if I don't think your game is worth the asking price, I'm just gonna pirate it.

 Thu Apr 10 14:18:29 +0000 2014

Well, what about part 2?

I actually like these games a bunch, despite obvious design flaws. It's a cool adventure spin on dungeon crawler.

And I also secretly wish they had released Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth under Horrorsoft label again.

Waxworks is Elvira 3, but unofficially.

 Mon Apr 14 00:37:13 +0000 2014

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth would have been great as the last Horrorsoft release. A missed opportunity if you ask me.

 Mon Apr 14 00:37:53 +0000 2014

And Elvira 1 is a natural extension of Personal Nightmare, so in a way it's like a four game series.

But apparently it made enough money to keep Laika afloat & start two other projects: ParaNorman & upcoming Boxtrolls

 Tue Apr 15 14:26:50 +0000 2014

ParaNorma technically is just as great, but while having very mature themes it's a lot less intense. Probably as a reaction to

 Tue Apr 15 14:36:23 +0000 2014

Coraline because parents & critics were complaining. Also Selik wasn't involved.

Yes, but they are also offering 4K content at streaming only (which makes no sense to me). Sony is also one of the few studios to

Das Boot is great, but I recommend the 5 hour cut :) You'll feel like a nazi sailor for weeks afterwards. Incredibly immersive.

 Fri Apr 18 22:36:03 +0000 2014

Dark Star is hilarious. I hope you're sticking with a longer cut, which is more O'Bannon than Carpenter.

 Fri Apr 18 22:36:38 +0000 2014

That's the only cut I watch. Just saying...

 Fri Apr 18 22:41:41 +0000 2014

Well, it IS a student film in every sense. Just a really well made one. It's funny how Alien came directly out of it. :)

 Fri Apr 18 22:43:07 +0000 2014

O'Bannon co-wrote Alien with Ronald Schusset, but it was later rewritten by the producers, probably for the best though.

 Fri Apr 18 22:53:49 +0000 2014

Yeah, but I dig the dialogue & the android, so in my opinion those changes helped the movie i like so much.

Decided that my game is going have an UNDO button instead of permadeath. Opinions?

 Mon Apr 21 14:10:06 +0000 2014

I was thinking of other ways to handle it, but considering that my game is an adventure game, UNDO is the most fitting one

 Mon Apr 21 14:16:56 +0000 2014

Yeah, that really what brought me to this decision. I'm planning unique animations for each

Humor in Blood is much more appropriate because it matches the setting. Shadow Warrior's seems tracked on.
