Title: Game development?
Post by: answerseeker on May 12, 2012, 10:55:34 pm
Hey everyone! I've looked everywhere and I'm trying to find out how machinerium was made. Like the basic stuff, did they draw it first? What was the concept? What software did they use? Etc etc I am a graphic design student and it's for one of my theory courses. Please help me out if any of you have any information. I would be really grateful!

@answerseeker, maybe you should first take the time to learn how to spell the name of the game you are studying?   ::)

But it's okay, it's not your usual name for a game so you're forgivni'm only teasing you so please don't take offense >)

Peppered throughout this forum are links to interviews that Jakub Dvorský  has conducted wherein he talked about the methods he and his team used to create Samorost2 and Machinarium.  (you'll find most of them in either the Amanita Design - General Chat (http://amanita-design.net/forum/index.php/board,7.0.html) thread or the General Machinarium Topics (http://amanita-design.net/forum/index.php/board,3.0.html) thread)

Other than that, I would suggest that you become friends with the Search feature of this site. (try including the terms "interview" and "Jakub" in your searches)

Good luck with your studies!

I found the interview on one of the threads before you replied. I had been searching on google since an hour and Machinarium is not the only game I'm researching on so I thought I'd post it here. I seriously didn't think it would become such an issue. Thanks for your help any way.

As far as the spelling goes I already know the spelling, it was just a simple typo and perhaps wrote it wrong because I was thinking in terms of Machine and just added a rium at the end, I have spelt it right in the paper.

See that loooong ellipsis after I wrote "But it's okay, it's not your usual name for a game so you're forgivn"?

That's actually 1pt type that says, "i'm only teasing you so please don't take offense"  ;~>
