Interview

Posted by TakaM on Sept. 18, 2007, 7:20 p.m.

I was intending on writing an entry last night when we got home from dinner, but I was too tired, so here it is now.

Yes, we did go to the restaurant at the pier, which was quite nice, I usually get the steak so I decided instead to get the chicken breast stuffed with cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and wrapped in bacon.

I got my mother a nice big vase, it's sitting on the table in the dining room right now with a bouquet of flowers she got yesterday.

We also got her a card, I asked my brothers in other countries if they wanted me to write anything from them in it, but none of them responded in time.. well, they still haven't responded.

And yesterday, I got a call from Darren at Channel X (one of the video stores, also, not a porn exclusive store) and I went in today for an interview.

He asked if I was related to James, who worked there for a number of years, "yup, I'm his younger brother."

Which is pretty good to mention since I helped replace security stickers, put DVDs back on the shelves n stuff when I went in to get a movie while he was working.

The interview was pretty easy, only question I felt any pressure on was when he asked me "360 or PS3?"

Yeah I'd choose the Wii over both of them, but since he didn't include it.. infact I'm not sure if Channel X even rents Wii games, I answered "360", to which he said "that's a huge plus from me."

So yeah, he said he'd give me a call soon and I'd probably start in a few weeks.

For Twinsen, I dunno…

Here's an interesting look back that hopefully illustrates how much has changed:

BYAAH!

Oooo.. Slopes. I wonder how you'd sprite them.

They don't even look like slopes =(

The slopes need a 'crease' where it starts and ends I think.

^Looks fine…

TakaM 17 years, 3 months ago

hmmm…

a crease would require tiles for the start and end of each slope and use the current tiles for the body of the slope.

I don't think it's quite a necessity to gradually work in and out of the slope with extra tiles, because they're not really emphasized in the same way something like Sonic does, where they're an integral part of the gameplay

My suggestion for your game is to get rid of the black outlines for some of the sprites. It looks really nice otherwise.
