Development documentations

SyntaxN · 10-30-2005, 02:24 PM

Since I read the making of DOOM³ and watched the FEAR documentary videos I´m starting to love such stuff, it gives you some kind of an inside view of the development. DNF was developed for so many years...it would be a pity to leave them untouched

I just hope 3D Realms releases a book along the lines of "Masters of Duke" after DNF ships.

Would be cool to finally read what's been going on behind the scenes for so many years. I don't know the documentations in the poll, but a book like Imfamous is referring to would be cool.

Perhaps as a bonus for a DNF Special Edition?

"Day 694: Ran out of snack crackers. Need more."

"Day 695: Discovered that stale pizza slices can be used as deadly weapons"

"Day 696: Strip club night! Stripper didn't like where I tried to slide my credit card. Ow."

etc . . .

That's perhaps the stuff you're interested in, but others would like to read other details.

I don't really care, as long as it is interesting to read or see.

(i.e. not boringly written

)

If it is a book of some kind, I'd love to see how for example the Pig Cop evolved from version to version; like how it was in the '98 version, '01 version and then the final release. I think it would be interesting to see the graphical changes as well as the physical changes to how they designed the enemies.

I voted to see documentary videos alá F.E.A.R.
Because i want to hear the voice of the crew..!

A making of book like Raising the Bar

Maybe a book called "Breaking the Bar..!"

the commentary was very boring in chronicles of riddick, every 5 steps there was a commentary object where 2 programmers are constantly owning each other for 15 minutes

HL2: lost coast commentary is much better.

so I want that AND a book

hell-angel · 10-31-2005, 05:12 AM

are you talking about ingame commentary? I allways hate stuff like that in movies, I don't think there is even a word of what I feel about that in games.

Good thing is optional.

How about interactive commentary as when you DNF, you could pic up a book and read some of the stuff or fiddle with comp and see some other stuff or watch documentary on tv.

zubu · 10-31-2005, 06:36 PM

i Think a book similar to "raising the bar" would be a good idea, because i thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe even a documentary on the biography channel, probably won't happen, but it would be cool none the less.
