Title: Whats the name of the main character? Post by: o00o on November 07, 2009, 09:22:00 am does he have a name?

His name is Josef, like the inventor of the word "robot", Josef Čapek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_%C4%8Capek). ;) About his girlfriend, I don't know. ::) Title: Re: Whats the name of the main character?

Josef's girlfriend reminds me of Maria, as in Metropolis. Title: Re: Whats the name of the main character? Post by: ABoretz on November 08, 2009, 10:05:53 pm Josef's girlfriend reminds me of Maria, as in Metropolis. That's a much better similarity than my joke about Tarzan's Jane! Oh but what a sad fate Maria suffers at the hands of the mad scientist (http://www.popsci.com/files/imagecache/photogallery_image/files/articles/fembots_ss_metropolis.jpg)! :'( How about this one: Josef's girlfriend could be named Rosie (http://mrl.nyu.edu/~perlin/experiments/rosie/rosie.jpg) (after the robot maid from the '60s animated US T.V. series The Jetsons (http://www.cybercomm.nl/~ivo/)).

But is that Maria or is it Hel? So...maybe Josef + Maria = too much allegory, even if Metropolis and Machinarium both resemble Breughel's Tower of Babel: http://www.artchive.com/artchive/b/bruegel/babel1.jpg And...maybe Jane is on the right trail. How about Jana, as in Karel Zeman's Vynalez zkazy (The Fabulous World of Jules Verne) ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsud8SjNJIs Title: Re: Whats the name of the main character?

Totally, I was going to make a thread requiesting that single set of sprites, haha.I'd actually PAY for that set... I mean it. If you are out there and you can read this, I'm willing to.

Post by: Wrenbot on March 18, 2010, 11:19:19 am Awww it's better if he doesn't have a name :( Part of Machinarium's magic is the ambiguity - everything is what you make of it, with nothing actually written down, so his name could be anything you wanted :)
and I hope this continues ★ |
