- Cheeseness
- I'm going to take it fairly slow and give everybody time to read
- This is the first non-talkie game we've done for a while, I think
- 6:58
- jfrisby
- do the voices, Cheese
- 6:58
- MJD
- Hi all
- 6:58
- Cheeseness
- Ha, temptation is high
- Hi MJD
- 6:58
- Ongaku
- Oh I didn't knew it by name, I saw this game a couple of days ago I know about it after all
- 6:59
- Syd
- Next week's session should be especially good. We've got a bit of a treat set up for that one.
- 6:59
- medacris
- I'm here, just getting everything ready
- 6:59
- Cheeseness
- Yeah, we've got some developers joining us next week. Should be pretty awesome
- 6:59
- Ongaku
- I've played Deponia recently
- nice
- 7:00
- Permafry_42
- Had this game on my wishlist for a while now. If I like what i see during the stream i might finally get it while its on sale
- 7:00
- Fien left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- 7:00
- MJD
- I've tried playing the game (just picked it up yesterday). Very interesting, though I somehow managed to skip Act II Scene II (or maybe more ...)
- 7:00
- GameClubFan_753466 [c26d1698@hide-B64552F4.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- 7:01
- Cheeseness
- The scenes just increment when you go to a new location
- You didn't miss anything except noticing the title screen ^_^
- 7:01
- David_Marchand left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- 7:01
- jfrisby
- I don't think I really knew what was going on in the end of chapter 2...
- 7:01
- DavidMarchand [be1366d9@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- 7:01
- Babar left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 187 seconds).
- 7:02
- MJD
- Oh .. thats good then. I did see a title screen for it, but I though I managed to skip its contents.
- 7:02
- Syd
- If anyone's been on the fence about picking Kentucky Route Zero up, it's 50% off on Steam right now.
- 7:03
- Cheeseness
- Yeah
- 7:03
- Permafry_42
- yeah i've been on the fence for a while and my only problem is i doubt i'll have the time to play it for at least the next couple weeks
- 7:03
- Cheeseness
- Sadly, it wasn't discounted on their website last time I looked, so if you want the DRM free version, you'll have to pay full price (but you get a Steam key wih that as well)
- 7:04
- Permafry_42
- maybe we should ask the developers about it next week
- 7:06
- Cheeseness
- I think it'll be off sale by then
- IIRC, I tagged them in a tweet that highlighted that the Humble Store version wasn't on sale
- 7:06
- Syd
- Sale ends in just a few days
- 7:06
- Permafry_42
- yeah but maybe they can have a seperate sale for the drm free version
- 7:06
- Cheeseness
- Alrighty, are we feeling ready to start?
- 7:07
- Permafry_42
- sure
- 7:07
- Cheeseness
- Again, apologies in advance for the stream quality. Hopefully it won't be too bad ^_^
- I love the super huge titles
- 7:08
- Permafry_42
- agreed
- 7:08
- Ongaku
- i like the font
- 7:08
- Syd
- We tried to get it as good as we could, but had to sacrifice framerate for low compression (higher compression would make everything a blurry indecipherable mess)
- 7:08
- medacris
- Can we turn up the volume a bit?
- 7:08
- Cheeseness
- Oops, one tick. I forgot to set something
- 7:09
- Syd
- Also, hold tight, it'll probably be extra-stuttery in the beginning
- 7:09
- Ongaku
- yes
- 7:09
- Syd
- Once it settles down, the framerate should smooth out
- 7:09
- Permafry_42
- love the art style
- 7:09
- medacris
- Me too.
- 7:09
- Ongaku
- you took the word right off my fingers
- 7:09
- Cheeseness
- The art style is mind blowingly awesome
- 7:10
- Syd
- Yeah, the art is gorgeous.
- 7:10
- MJD
- I had a look at the kickstarter video, it looks a lot different from that. Though I agree it is awesome.
- 7:10
- Cheeseness
- Yeah the pitch vid is way different
- 7:10
- Ongaku
- and again i really love the text in this game
- the look of it
- 7:10
- Cheeseness
- I think this is heaps better
- And the writing. The writing is fantastic
- And the text effect on the word zero
- Scene composition and camerawork is amazing too
- 7:12
- Syd
- Yeah, the effect might not show up on stream, but there's this sort of wavey effect to the word "Zero"
- 7:12
- Ongaku
- do you know if its a custom engine, or something done in unity ?
- 7:12
- Syd
- Also, the sound in this game is just as good as the art. The ambient sounds are amazing.
- 7:12
- medacris
- I like options in video games that serve no purpose other than to let you express yourself a bit.
- 7:12
- Cheeseness
- Unity, I beleive
- 7:13
- Ongaku
- oh my, very nice
- 7:13
- medacris
- I can't hear anything.
- 7:13
- Permafry_42
- i like how the lantern continues to move back and forth
- 7:13
- Ongaku
- animation ! animation !
- 7:13
- medacris
- I turned the volume all the way up and still nothing.
- 7:14
- Cheeseness
- medacris: I like that your express yourself impacts on the way that aspects of the game are presented
- 7:14
- Ongaku
- i have it all the way up and i can hear something
- 7:14
- Cheeseness
- (small example being the dog)
- 7:14
- Babar [Miranda@55F46CBB.357219D0.83382450.IP] entered the room.
- 7:14
- Syd
- Yeah, there's sound. You should hear footsteps
- 7:14
- Cheeseness
- medacris: Try turning it down and up again?
- 7:14
- medacris
- Mm. I agree, Cheeseness. I can hear a little now, but I really hate putting the volume at max.
- 7:14
- Cheeseness
- 7:15
- Permafry_42
- love rule #4
- 7:15
- Ongaku
- welcome to the CAVE !
- or the basement in this case
- 7:15
- Syd
- Heh
- 7:15
- Cheeseness
- 7:15
- medacris
- @Ongaku: Yes!
- 7:16
- Cheeseness
- I also love that things like the password don't matter
- 7:17
- Ongaku
- haahha
- 7:17
- GameClubFan_753466 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- 7:18
- Cheeseness
- Best directions ever

- 7:20
- Syd
- The choices you make kind of let you build up this character's backstory and personality however you like.
- 7:20
- Cheeseness
- Yeah
- As well as their inperpretations of current events
- There are lots of these little side locations around the place as well
- 7:21
- Syd
- Yeah. they're optional, but add a lot of flavor to the world, as well as further building character
- 7:22
- Cheeseness
- Yeah
- 7:22
- Permafry_42
- seems almost like a text adventure in this part
- 7:22
- Cheeseness
- Yeah
- 7:23
- Ongaku
- those maps look so "balance of powery"
- 7:25
- Cheeseness
- Did any of you play the 1980s game Portal?
- 7:25
- Babar left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 180 seconds).
- 7:25
- medacris
- There's another game also called Portal>
- 7:25
- Cheeseness
- Yup
- In some ways it reminds me of this aspect of KR0
- 7:27
- medacris
- Ooooh!
- 7:27
- Cheeseness
- Somebody's made it into a series of webpages. I'll find the URL for it after
- 7:28
- medacris
- Okay.
- I love how eerie this game is
- 7:28

- Mimness [76d0de97@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- 7:30
- medacris
- I was thinking of how a text adventure game based on the podcast Welcome To Night Vale would work.
- 7:30
- Cheeseness
- The sound design in this game is pretty amazing too
- 7:31
- medacris
- It's a horror radio drama, not a typical podcast.
- 7:32
- jfrisby [n@hide-836CD9E3.maine.res.rr.com] entered the room.
- 7:32
- Cheeseness
- Sort of wish I could help
- 7:33
- medacris
- Help with the plane?
- 7:33
- Cheeseness
- Yeah
- 7:33
- medacris
- me too
- 7:34
- Ongaku
- I played a bit of that Portal
- liked the atmosphere and the premise, but never finished
- 7:34
- Syd
- Ah, the audio is so good. I'm definitely going to ask the developers about how they recorded and mixed the audio next week when they join us.
- 7:35
- Cheeseness
- Yeah
- It's amazing
- Oh hey Mimness
- 7:36
- Mimness
- Here I am
- 7:37
- Cheeseness
- I love the rocking chair there
- Am I moving too fast for people to read?
- 7:38
- Syd
- I love the transition coming up
- 7:39
- Cheeseness
- Yeah, it's amazing
- This is going to be a short one this week. We'll probably finish up after this scene
- The models are great as well. Really minimalistic, but still very readable
- 7:41
- Syd
- Double Fine will be doing a PAX panel on open development that should be streamed in about 20 minutes.
- 7:42
- Cheeseness
- I love Weaver ^_^
- And we'll finish up there!
- Hope I pronounced Tamas' name correctly >_<
- 7:46
- Syd
- Next week, we'll have some of the developers join us!
- 7:46
- Cheeseness
- Yaaaay
- Give me a sec to find that link to Portal
- 7:46
- medacris
- Thanks guys!
- 7:47
- Ongaku
- Cheeseness was there a pc version of portal or was it c64, i don't remember
- 7:48
- GameClubFan_676436
- Why are we doing only the very first scene of the first Act?
- 7:48
- Cheeseness
- We've done two scenes
- 7:48
- Syd
- If anyone wants to watch it, the Double Fine PAX panel on open development should be streamed on this channel in about 15 minutes http://www.twitch.tv/pax2
- 7:48
- GameClubFan_676436
- Okay, just two scenes. Why not the entire first Act?
- 7:49
- Cheeseness
- We've broken the first act up into two sessions because a) I'm keen on a 45 minute running time, and b) I wanted to leave something for us to talk about next week with the devs
- 7:49
- GameClubFan_676436
- Okay, thanks.
- 7:49
- Cheeseness
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_%28interactive_novel%29
- There's the wikipedia article on Portal
- Looks like the web version I'd played before is down
- Oh wow, somebody tried to crowdfund a revamped version of it http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/subgames/rob-swigarts-portal-1986-reborn-v20
- 7:50
- medacris
- So the panel will be streamed soon?
- 7:51
- Cheeseness
- Yeah, another 10 minutes or so
- 7:51
- Syd
- I believe it will
- 7:51
- Cheeseness
- Who'd previously played KR0?
- 7:51
- Syd
- I have, though I have to go in a few minutes.
- Gotta run to the store and pick up a few things
- 7:51
- Cheeseness
- I'm interested to know if anybody noticed anything different from picking different dialogue elements
- No worries, Syd ^_^
- 7:51
- MJD
- There is an ebook based upon the game here: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37197 (apparently published by the author, so not warez)
- 7:52
- medacris
- I watched Giant Bomb play a bit and they skipped a lot
- Where is the PAX stream
- 7:52
- Cheeseness
- Yeah, I could have finished the first act in maybe 20 minutes if I wanted
- 7:52
- MJD
- I played it just before this. I didn't notice anything besides some dialogue as I choose some different branches. But nothing major.
- 7:52
- Ongaku
- i see Portal was Amiga
- 7:53
- Cheeseness
- Yeah
- 7:53
- Ongaku
- I had to emulate that
- i remember now
- 7:53
- Syd left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- 7:53
- Ongaku
- lost hours trying to find my way through the "network" on the game
- talking to socrates
- if i remember correctly
- 7:53
- Cheeseness
- Yeah
- The URL used to be portal.stodge.org, but that seems to point to something else now
- 7:54
- Ongaku
- have to give that a go again
- 7:55
- Cheeseness
- I really enjoyed it
- 7:55
- medacris
- Where's the PAX stream?
- 7:55
- Cheeseness
- I'd love to do it as a point and click adventure game (maybe with some action elements like Gemini Rue which really highlighted how alone and isolated the protagonist was on abandoned earth
- 7:55
- GameClubFan_676436
- I love the two Acts, but in my non-American opinion only Americans can really appreciate the game.
- 7:56
- Ongaku
- that would be great
- 7:56
- Cheeseness
- I'm not certain medacris. Syd's the one who's up on all these things. Let me see what I can find
- 7:56
- Ongaku
- yup
- 7:56
- Cheeseness
- GameClubFan_676436: I'm not American, but I really, really like Kentucky Route Zero
- 7:56
- MJD
- He said: http://www.twitch.tv/pax2
- 7:56
- medacris
- Ahh okay, sorry
- 7:56
- kickedit [638b404b@hide-BF4D4B18.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- 7:56
- Ongaku
- although I felt the isolation even with those lo-fi graphics
- 7:56
- Cheeseness
- She ^_^
- 7:57
- MJD
- medacris: For the stream ^
- 7:57
- medacris
- Thank you!
- 7:57
- Cheeseness
- Ongaku: I felt it too, but maybe the web version was missing some of the graphics. It felt more like a text only game with a bit of iconography
- 8:00
- medacris
- Neither stream appears to be playing it?
- 8:01
- MJD
- medacris: Nope. Not sure what's up.
- 8:02
- medacris
- PAX2 didn't even have it listed
- 8:03
- Ongaku
- Its a bit of a hassle to emulate it but its worth i guess
- 8:03
- Cheeseness
- UAE isn't that hard to work with
- 8:03
- GameClubFan_676436
- What I meant is that it's steeped in American culture and stuff. I love the marvelous graphics, the atmosphere, the surrealism.
- 8:04
- medacris
- It's alright, no worries
- 8:04
- Ongaku
- yeah but I was trying all the os stuff and workbench and getting carried away besides gaming lol
- 8:04
- Cheeseness
- I streamed from UAE for the Another World session
- I also own two Amigas
- GameClubFan_676436: For sure. I may be missing stuff, but it doesn't feel like there's much that I can't understand
- 8:05
- Ongaku
- i never owned an amiga but I played with some of them back in the day, i was to young to understand any of it
- but from time to time i get the feeling to try and buy old hardware
- 8:06
- Mimness left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- 8:06
- Ongaku
- I'm weird
- 8:06
- kickedit left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- 8:07
- GameClubFan_676436 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- 8:07
- GameClubFan_914891 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
