Mini update

From the background, it’s a new Star Wars arcade game

I'm convinced you are correct, especially given gile's previous comment "The force is going STRONG, VERY STRONG ... !"

I'm a regular Sherlock Holmes

No you are not good enough, there are other things I said more times many times, this one about the force just "came like that" .. you need .. to reason more deeply ...

Should not be Giles' btw ?

[Yak]

You're not going to guess it in a million years.

And then when you do find out what it is you're going to be all "well what the actual fuck".

[Rhythm]

A deep lake fishing game, hunting wild hotdogs at the base of Loch Ness in a submarine with James Cameron.

That's my guess

[Deckard]

Hopefully no Queen involved or else the re-writes ?

[Gilby 4000]

That's a pretty wide aspect ratio! As usual, money is in hand waiting to be thrown your way.

Wiiiiidegunner! But seriously, with the achievements pics and golf stuff Jeff posted recently I think this is going to be a Deflex-like game meets Star Raiders (?!), whatever that means.

Either way, can't wait!

Giles's.

("gile's" is what belongs to a gile [singular]; "Giles'" is what belongs to all of the Giles [plural]).

[Markie]

Exciting times indeed!

[Whiteball]

My guess:

It will be a (long overdue) Llamasoft version of Major Havoc that has been finessed by the fingers of two coding magicians.

("gile's" is what belongs to a gile [singular]; "Giles'" is what belongs to all of the Giles [plural]).

Style guide rules come into play when a singular name ends with S. Giles' is just as valid as Giles's, but a lot of publications go for the former because it's tidier

Would that be pronounced as JIALZ or as JIALZEEZ?

Oops - I've been busted by the Apostrophe Police! I still get a laugh from that every time I fire up Gridrunner Revolution

Well if it's not Star Wars then it can only be-



Yes, I am having fun making guesses I know are completely wrong, why do you ask?

He he, the guessing game is quite fun at this stage Well, a Road Runner arcade-like with a Minotaur riding a rocket instead of Wile Coyote chasing and shooting grunts, that would be kinda bonkers and I'd play that to death!

I just want to say that "things are going very well" (*) .. but ESPECIALLY that "if you think that writing ( commercial ) SW is ONLY sitting down with a compiler/tools and writing down actualy software" well .. that's maybe only 50% of it ..

"I am dealing with all sorts of things you can think of" and also an "extremely picky but very good Quality Control" .. I haven't got to the point yet of the "gazillions of forms" even if this time I may have some help with that ..

From things like "I can't read well that letter of that font" to "do we have the license of that thing" to "can you describe me better this as I cannot understand" .. to anyting you can and can not think of ..

This I'd dare to say definitely "one of the most tested SW we ever made" .. in a way "thanks Goat we had the time/people/will to do so" also "one of the biggest projects in terms of platforms scope" we done so far.

There is definitely a part of the "let's make a game" which is a big "resources/people management task" .. ( or better to say "you'll have N people asking you about things" )

Anyway it's all going good, patience some more ..

(*) APART about "a BIG company with a two letters name" which is a *PITA* and "who the heck knows what's going on in there and how to fix it" .. it would appear that they really embraced TO THE MAX the philosopy of "If it's too simple, make it more complex and then make it more complex again" .. "A says speak to B about C then ask D that maybe knows about E but probably you shoud try F ( that I already tried n times and doesn't work ) or send an email to G that will tell you to contact H that then does not know but suggest to speak with I that heard that J should be the person that knows but have you tried writing to K that knows L that maybe can have a word with M which will point you to N that says that O asked P to tell Q about R to contact S and ask about T but then U reminds you that V will call W to ask X about Y then Z comes in and tells you 'You should speak with A about this' " ...

I am not making this up, actually yes because it's worse than this ...

I think they invented so many "privileges" and "permissions" they truly don't even know what you need to be to do what you need to do ...

It's a WEIRD world ...

Big company with a two letter name... Hmmm... Wouldn't be the first time Llamasoft has worked with one of those, considering Lionhead was part of EA.

Unity is back. I'm calling it.
