Today we recorded all the lines for two of the main characters of Phenomenon 32, Dr. Anna Halvorsen and Dr. Emma Bronstein. It took a fair bit of time – it’s now half past one at night – but I am very, very happy with the results. Telling this story …
I have good news that are also bad. Phenomenon 32 is getting close to being finished. All that’s missing is the “endgame” areas – that and the new voice acting I recently decided upon. Yes, I’ve decided to add a few more characters (and actors to voice them). It’s an …
Not much to say. Verena, who was a little sick, is feeling better. I’m still gettting annoying headaches, apparently because of my neck – I spend too much time sitting at the computer and working on Phenomenon 32. I’d like to tell you some cool stuff about all the progress …
If the last few days hadn’t been so full of headaches, work, a clogged nose, and a dislodged rib, the damn game might be finished now. I was even planning on submitting the game to the IGF. But I’ve had some revelations: I care more about critical recognition than I …
Except for going to a meeting related to the Writing Center where he works, and talking to some of his friends, and watching a surprisingly OK-ish episode of Heroes (“Company Man” – still in season one), Jonas spent most of his time working on Phenomenon 32. It was an interesting …
Yesterday went quite well. I only managed to finish three levels, but that’s because I decided to add/change some graphics, and because a major crash forced me to redo an entire area (I hadn’t saved after putting in all the creozoids). But I’m still happy with the results, so it’s …
Looks like I’m not going to be finishing Phenomenon 32 in September after all. It’s not far from completion, but level-building is taking longer than anticipated, and so is remixing the music. It’s not that any of it is difficult per se, or that I’m having conceptual or design issues …
…but I’m too busy implementing the player side of research right now. Later I’ll take a break and we’ll go see Up, which I hope will be good (like Wall-E) and not utter shit (like Ratatouille). Oh, and a new podcast should be up today or tomorrow.
Boosters, an EMP Generator, Xordite Missiles, dangerous underwater plants, giant robotic turrets… all those and many more are taking up my time right now. Phenomenon 32 is in full swing, and I’m making huge amounts of progress. If the crashing doesn’t get worse (Construct gets a bit wobbly when your …
I woke up this morning and my back hurt. It got worse as the day went on, moving upwards to include my neck, and by now I can barely raise my head. This is extremely annoying and has kept me from writing the long post about the Fantasy Filmfest that …
