Adventure Game Studio

Hi guys

http://www.bytejacker.com/episodes/rapidfire/11172008

This is the first of 2 episodes to feature well known AGS game designers Grundy Dave and Ivy. I was there for the filming, and let me tell you part 2 is going to be awesome!

Anthony Carboni treated us all very well and even though he is unfamiliar with the AGS scene, I'm sure after this he will be following it a bit closer.

Watch it!

Awesome stuff!!

Great job guys!

Excellent to see some AGSers getting the spot-light like this!

Haha awesome, look at you, in the movies.. Like important people!

This is cool. I'm subscribing to to it on Itunes.

With my black clothes and the dark background, I'm like Stealth Dave in that video.

You just happened to choose a Grundislav game as your favourite RON game, eh?

Congrats all, you're practically famous now.

Was it me, or was the host wearing lipstick?

I found this highly, enjoyable. Thanks!

Great stuff guys.  :D
Dirty Split looks good... downloading now.

Excellent site, I've been watching the vids sporadically all day. One of the callers of a previous episode wanted more games on Mac and Linux, since most are for Windows. Luckily, AGS is multi-OS operational!

PS-If that's not a real phrase/word, it is now.

Very interesting.  Nice to see AGS getting even more popular.

I was there for the filming, and let me tell you part 2 is going to be awesome!

I was wondering, why you were there for the filming?  Are you in part 2?

No, Ryan was watching from the sidelines.  Just because he wasn't interviewed doesn't mean we were going to leave him behind, and have him miss out on the food and fun time!  That's the kind of swell people the Bytejacker guys were.

Were you in NY especially for Bytejacker or was this an extra-curricular activity?

Phone-in scandal!!!!

:=

I guess Ryan wasn't a particularly well valued indie adventure developer then...

HARHAR!!!  :P

It was so great to have everyone on the show!  Everyone was great and very well-behaved.(except Francisco, who refused to wear any pants.  Insider info: there wasn't originally a tablecloth covering our legs...)

I hope you guys enjoy the episode, and I'm really interested to see what everyone thinks about Thursday.  Like Ryan said, modern adventure gaming isn't my most knowledgable area, but I know it's a very vibrant and dedicated community, so I tried to do it justice.

We're sorry we couldn't accomodate Ryan more.  Well, at least we were -- until we saw that he was better-looking than all of us AND could drink us under the table. 

Then we hated him.

Nice stuff. :)

Hm, Grundy's been showing very odd attitudes towards pants all around, so I'm not surprised...

If you think the Bytejacker episode was cool, then watch this.

Wow, that was some serious Walken-ing. I'm surprised no one broke anything.
Note: Again, you cannot see Grundislav from the waist down. Coincidence? I think not.

But really, both videos were great. I know I enjoyed them.

Let's give Ryan some of limelight.

I blame Francisco. That video should never have been released!!!

Hah, Dave was totally wearing his scarf like an ascot.  So there's a jewish Freddie Jones, I see Daphne, and Ryan's obviously Shaggy.  *So where the hell is Velma!




*grundislav is clearly playing the part of Scooby Doo.

Dear god.

Well, at least he wasn't wearing that salmon-coloured hoodie. ;)

P.S. Thanks to everybody who enjoyed the show. :) It was loads of fun to make, and we got a delicious Italian meal out of it. Plus some behind-the-scenes footage that should never be posted anywhere, ever.

Ooh! Let's judge them! Who was the sexiest in the video? Vote now!

Hehehe... a sexy bunch indeed... but Ivy's the only one I'd comb my hair for ;)

I was going to say Dave Gilbert, lol.

From the comments on Bytejacker:

Quote from: sockpuppeterm since when are game developers so er…..ehm…..well….hot ^.^…anyone with me :P?

Quote from: YousaThat woman is really attractive

Putting my money on Grundy. He'd definitely win in a knife fight---Wait. Sexiness? Oh, then definitely Ivy.
~Trent

The host with the lipstick is obviously the hottest one there. No contest.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Part 2:

Big announcements in this one!

(PS- maybe we need a [youtube] tag bbcode ;))

Anthony did a great job on this episode, and I also like being able to hear Grundy and Ivy a bit clearer than the last one. I hope he has more Power Ups and designers on the show, even if they're not adventure game creators.

Although why the YouTube host? The previous host has better picture quality IMO.

~Trent

@MillsJROSS - Listen, man.  I've got delicate lips.  They chap easy.  IT'S HARD FOR ME TO LIVE WITH QUIT MAKING FUN OF ME OKAY?

...

They do look like lady lips this week, don't they?

@Trent R - The Youtube was up temporarily this morning.  Our video host had some excessively slow upload speeds last night, so we figured better to get the Youtube up so people wouldn't be left waiting.  The full quality one is up now.

I'm glad you guys like the episode, and we really hope to have more developers on to talk about their work.  I don't think we could've kicked it off with a more talented or entertaining group.

Hopefully it won't just be limited to developers in your area, because then that would exclude me and many other people and would make us very sad.

Grundislav and Erin aren't very much in the area of Brooklyn though

I enjoyed the question and the answers! Hooray for all involved! Boo to erin for losing whatever drinking game was being drunk

It was the old and time honored game of "finish drinking your drink."

Cool video, and wooo Puzzlebots! :)

"Four different endings, and no more f***ing Ben Jordan games after that, p*** off and leave me alone!"

:D

7:17, LOL!

Fun video, thanks for sharing :)

QuoteGrundislav and Erin aren't very much in the area of Brooklyn though

They were very much in the area at the time of the interview, unless they have doppelgangers.

Jen Bordan 1: Relics of the Future!

Here's a sneak preview of the next episode

Funfact: today I received the following text message from my 13-year-old brother:

Erin i see you were last in a drinking game on the internet (',') (lolcat)!

Um...I guess I'm setting a good example?

Mmm.  I get to relive that dinner all over again by watching this video.  And those carbombs.  Yeesh. :)

Anyway, glad you liked the vid, gang.  It was great fun being on the show, as well as having Ivy, Grundy and Layabout crammed into my lil studio apartment for a week.  This place is too darn quiet now!

-Dave

I think I won the drinking game. Every single time.

Yeah, it wasn't fair...you Aussies must have some kind of genetic advantage. :P

You should've just fed him something that wasn't Foster's, then as an Aussie he wouldn't know what to do with it.

Actually CJ, they were Irish Car Bombs. And I still won.

Don't be silly, you don't use Foster's in an Irish Car Bomb.

*shakes head*

Silly, Bruce.
