Will Holland on AVS: "We're Almost Done" 24 Oct, 2007, 18:11 / 3 comments

The Pumpkin Post have scribbled out a new Interview, this time with Will Holland, a student programmer working on A Vampyre Story. He has lots of interesting things to say about the game:
"Working on A Vampyre Story has been different from other projects because of the 2.5-d perspective. On the art side, it's an ideal situation for our team because we have a lot of talent in both 3-d character animation and the 2-d environments. For the programmers however, it's quite a pain! Always projecting from 3-d world coordinates to 2-d screen coordinates, tweaking strange perspective and scaling issues, or whatever. As Froderick says: "It's tough bein a 3D model in a 2D world". Concerned fans needn't fret though, this game's gonna look amazing, and we're gonna type til our fingers bleed and debug til our eyes pop out to make sure of that!"
Read it all here, and then drink a yummy glass of milk (?)

    Great news. All other news posts should be removed. Renaming the site to The International House of Transylvania is also a good idea.

    About the glass of milk: that was my attempt at a funny reference to the expression "laugh so hard, milk will come out your nose". So it's best to put that glass of milk aside while reading the interview... come to think of it, it clearly wasn't as clever as I'd imagined. :)

    I thought it might have been something like that. :)

    Great interview, anyway. It's lovely to see interviews with other members of the AVS team aside from Bill (though anything Bill says is great too!)
