I admired the preview he wrote as well... I had no idea the word robot came from the Czech language ??? very sharp! Title: Re: dieubussy blog Post by: ABoretz on September 21, 2009, 11:07:41 pm I admired the preview he wrote as well... I had no idea the word robot came from the Czech language ??? very sharp! Good call! That preview article is well worth reading: http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/site/previews/529/ (http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/site/previews/529/) Also worth a look is the Machinarium gallery he included: http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/gallery/category/C529/ (http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/gallery/category/C529/) Title: Re: dieubussy blog Post by: desmond on September 21, 2009, 11:46:49 pm Indeed. It's the best preview I've read about the game. He takes the game seriously without those childish jokes EuroGamer is always using.
The very first puzzle of Machinarium consists of restoring the robot's original form, while tenderly introducing the protagonist to the player, in what is one of the simplest and most promising moments of recent adventure gaming Title: Re: dieubussy blog Post by: ABoretz on September 22, 2009, 02:37:38 am I wonder if that thing, about Kapek and his play about robots, did play any relevant part in the creation of Machinarium...? Indeed it did! :) Q: Does the main protagonist of the game have a name, or will he remain nameless? JD: At the moment he has just a working name which is Josef (after Josef Capek - Czech artist, initial inventor of the word ROBOT). http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2008/03/interview_samorost_developer_j_1.html (http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2008/03/interview_samorost_developer_j_1.html) |
