When i was a kid they used to show this old czech movie on TV at least once a year. I remember how fascinated i was by the art style (nowadays i would call it like that) and the animations. It was such an immersive way to tell the story to a kid!

The whole visuals of the movie are based on old illustrations from a Jules Verne book. It's mind boggling how they were able to do something like that in 1958. It often looks like its done with the help of CGI and composed with help of computers. But this stuff didnt exist back then. What an inspiring piece of art!

This is what i get for defending your silly Prollshirt?

Would have been funnier if the lion had attacked them.

meh. not another movie from that guy plz :roll:

This sucks

I once knew a guy personaly who was stabbed to death by his gf's ex.

Thats the problem with love. People see their partners as their property.

I would spell it like its written on Sinds T-Shirt because "des Biers" sounds fucking gay.

but it's succesor (Dark Messiah) is awesome

Dark Messiah is not the succesor of Arx Fatalis! They are completely different games. Arx is a classic RPG with open world, complex stats, complex magic system and challenging puzzles, while Dark Messiah is a linear action game with only a couple of dumbed down RPG Elements.

The only similarities are in some of the designs since its done by the same developer.

And Part 3

I bought this game on steam yesterday for only a couple of dollars. It's worth every cent. Totally loving it so far. Definately one of the best RPG's that i have played. It feels like a TES: Oblivion that is focused on quality over quantity. The game world is rather small but its so dense and complex. I have played estimated 10 hours so far but i have only been in the top three dungeon levels of eight and there is still a lot of stuff to explore and to experiment with only on these three.

The game is supposed to be the inofficial "Ultima Underworld 3". Totally true. All the good memories from when i played UO 1 & 2 come back. The atmosphere is great, story is good, the puzzles are a lot better then Oblivion for example and there is so many secrets to explore its fantastic.

The gfx and sound are obviously dated but after only a couple of minutes you will not notice or care anymore.

wtf is this shit

This idea is bollocks.

VC was great because of its setting but SA was definitely the better and in the end more fun game. In real life i hate all that hip-hop and gangster culture portrayed in SA but still i loved the game and could enjoy playing this kind of character. I had no problem with the immersion. In fact i thought that was part of the kick to play someone that you would hate in real life.

It's funny that Kotaku actualy used this pic in their latest article

haha yea thats super ridiculous. I would guess the person who said this knew jack shit about modding and had some weird imaginations about it in his head. like christian fundamentalists who think that atheists worship the devil. you get the picture

":1wet0zpz]I guess I comprehend though, they probably get a shit load of applications, and they can't just reply to them all, otherwise they would need a single person to handle those kind of task.

I think thats the case in many studios especialy of small and mid size. In other buisnesses companys usualy have a personal manager who takes care of this stuff. In our buisness its often art leads. Thats good from the quality point of view but bad when it comes to handling applications of people that you don't want. As artist you certainly want to focus on creative work and not dealing with refused applications (which is also a depressing thing to do).

I like these kind of videos. Always interesting to see how other people in the industry work and what their work environment looks like.
