It's an incredible technical achievement, but I sort of have to question of spending $100 mil on a stop motion film is a wise idea. I assume a chunk of it was CG work involving removing of additional rigs in all the shots because of how complicated the whole thing was.

His net worth dropped from $300 mil to $50 in just a couple of years, but I'd say that's still a chunk. Probably not gonna start selling the few properties he does own until he's really hurting. Also Bob is still worth $300, so that's another part of the equation.

The game was not complete when Virgin dropped them near the end of 96. The team went into self financed crunch for nine month. "almost seven days a week, every week. Like 12 hours a day." as Eric put it. Then in September of 97 Interplay picked them up.

I don't know if it was the cutscenes, but personally I don't think it was, since those involved other people than the main dev team of 5. Eric also said that they spent the last 6 months of development under Interplay to tweak and fine tune the game.

The game took so long to complete because it was too big for such a small team. This is what Frederick Saviour had to say in an interview two months (!) after the game's release

The team was in Paris. The team was Eric, two guys who did levels for Flashback, the guy who did art in Flashback, and the guy who did the PC port of Another World. That's it. Other people came in for some 3D modelling and animation for cutscenes, and sound & music obviously.

The game was notoriously crash prone on launch due to incompatibility with many video drivers. A patch was issued shortly later. It, however, didn't fix some of the non-video card related crashes.

It comes with a blu-ray that used the new master, BUT they didn't pay attention to UHD, and as the result it is too bright and has too much contrast. Still better than previous blu-rays in my opinion though.

I loved Chernobyl, BUT one shortcoming it has in my opinion is it is NOT an accurate depiction of interactions between people of that time period. I think it's an amazing mini series, but it's still largely fiction, and not a documentary.

Looks like it's a 4236B. It does indeed sound different from an OPL3, although I didn't do much testing yet, but not as different as, let's say, SBLive, which is what I was using before. I have an OPL3LPT and a RadLib, if anything.

I still can't decide if the movie is in on it and attempts to satirize that. I kind of think it does, but it's either being too subtle, or it just doesn't commit fully.

Just dynamic music. It wasn't all that common, with Lucasarts's iMuse system being the most well known one, followed by Origin's one. It was a bit easier to do back in the day because music was synthesized by the sound card, instead of being pre-recorded.

Special Edition of Monkey Island 2 re-implements iMuse using modern technology. It's a bit simplified sometimes, and occasionally glitchy, but it works for the most part.

Are there any cases of DOS ports of Amiga action games using sample music players? I can only think of RoboCod, but even then the quality isn't the same. Another World too, I guess. Either way, it was probably too much to meet the 286/SB1 minimum requirements.

PC port of Another World is all kinds of impressive. Manages smooth framerate on lowest specs, and can bitbang 5/11Khz pcm sound on PC Speaker. Or even AdLib!

Now here's the updated version of the intro from the remake "Dune 2000" (released in 1998, six years after the original). Much higher production value, full motion video, top quality 3D renders for the time. Doesn't hold up so great, imo:

Sun Mar 01 00:58:22 +0000 2020Dune 2000 is an interesting experiment. It just showed how far the genre progressed in just six years. It feels incredibly antiquated, and largely for the same reasons the original felt antiquated both in 1998, and now. It didn't update enough of the mechanics. https://x.com/EricRichards22/status/1233921491701510144

What's funny is that Dune 2000 leans much heavier into Lynch's Dune aesthetics than original. And so does the follow up - Emperor: Battle for Dune.
