I have something to say }:-)

Every now and then a Llamasoftie will say something interesting. Honestly! This is where we will keep these topics so that they don't get deleted.

I'm very curious where all this will lead to. :D

I'd just like to add...

You may remember Rod_S's quote from gravy's blog. In particular:
gravy wrote:What’s also nice is that within the company we’re doing this work for there’s a bit of buzz growing as people see the potential of Jeff and Giles’ work. It’s getting quite a bit of senior level attention [...]
IOW, Jeff isn't being corporatised; Microsoft is being fluffed :D.

Congratulations to all involved. And beasties, you're finally home :D :D.

*** HUGS *** to everyone

H. (grinning and laughing for hours)

Congratuations! This is great news!

This morning, I was thinking "I wonder why Jeff's going to E3. And if he's going, doesn't that mean we'll soon find out about the Thing?" :D

Does anyone know if it was shown on the (US) MTV special last night?

It is this specific thing that also made me wonder a while back whether "the Thing" had something to do with next-gen. I am wholly delighted and surprised about the "Neon with every Xbox360" though :lol:

ED: I've still got the vids that caused all the ruckus when I posted them prematurely from RV in February. For those unable to download the massive 100MB+ vid (which is stonking by the way), I was wondering if I'd be allowed to rehost these ones or not.

Ag.

No words.

I PMd Jeff after the first 'leak', but his post at the top of this thread just blew me away.

What they all said. In spades.

Sincerely pleased for everyone involved. Can't wait.

Shit...I piss off to the pub for lunch and miss all the excitement!

Well done Yak, Giles, et al....it looks frickin' sweet and will certainly make me think long and hard about handing money over to the Evil Empire when the 360 hits the shelves.

*edit* The Big Movie download is running reet slow so I'll set up a torrent when I've got it all, save hammering the llamasoft servers I suppose.

Yak wrote: I know there will also probably be a few who are disappointed or even upset at what they will doubtless see as me climbing into bed with the Evil Empire... well, the simple fact is that it was Microsoft who gave me the shot. Ninty and Sony both know what I do, but nobody was calling me up with any interest in making a next-gen lightsynth. Microsoft were the ones who believed in it enough to give us a shot, and by Goat, given an opportunity like that, I'd have to be stupid not to take it.
Don't be mental :) There is absolutely nothing anyone could possible be disappointed about. It's fantastic news! Anyone who berates you for working with MS doesn't live in the real world. MS are great to work with, and it's a great opportunity for Llamasoft.

I'm completely delighted for you Jeff, and I'm really looking forward to Neon. In fact I'm more interested in seeing my iPod generate weird patterns onscreen than any of the X360 games announced so far :)

I have a small personal request, being a bit of a cheeky bastard. I'm loving those Neon screenshots up on the website but... I'd love a big widescreen one so I could use it as a desktop wallpaper on my lappy. Any chance? If I beg?
