Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General The hard life of a game programmer shrimpo's story

I hope that Kiya is reading the threads. I am sure that she would be very happy to know that she is a very powerful witch.
Could we have a picture of this powerful and splendid witch ?

EDIT : Many thanks to Morbo for the translation.

really really wonderful translations. thanks so much to yannos & morbo for all that boredom-hence-translation-work. don't u have an exam to study for, morbo? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />

& also thanks to shrimpo for being brave to spill the stories behind game-making despite losing limb after limb for breaking the 'loose tongues lose limbs' contract. all that just to inform & enlighten us. THANK YOU!

boring subject <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" /> . And a little relax or "me time" is alwas welcome <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />


woops seems that I forget to put the picture link in the translation. Well here it is.



Well I want bosses where I can spend a week on trying to defeat them. Yeah its frustrating during the week, but when you finaly kill the boss you feel so much better and screamin "Take that you freaking boss monster. Who's your daddy, Who's your daddy. I'm your daddy, I 0wn3d your a$$ " <Then do my little dance> "I am victourios, Yeah nothing can stop me now." <Then find out that monster was just protecting the end boss>. "ohhh crap. Theire's grand daddy". quickly open a rift to go some where else.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> maybe some kind of victory dance animation when you defeat an end boss.

héh thanks for translating before I could, Morbo. Saves me some time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well theire no need no more for translators. Shrimpo was so kind to translate it himself look at the new log.

All I could say is Oowwch. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Ok just heard the song "If I got a hammer" on the radio. I must say that that song got a whole new meaning now.

haha , Shrimp you [email]b@stard[/email] <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

At least, now we know why the hero character is running around with such a disdainful grin all through the game.

ROFL - I really would like to know who did this! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

again the tester with the bad karma? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I think it was Shrimpo himself, he just needed some content for his daily story <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> I have seen the sentence ROFL a lot here.. What does it mean?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

BTW, I really like your victory dance idea Morbo..

rolling on the floor laughing

But ontopic: IMHO this is a classic examle of a keyframe that was overlooked. It looks like the 0,0,0 point of the hammer is alliged with the 0,0,0 point of the hero. I came to this conclusion based on the following evidence.

If we asume that the 0,0,0 point of the hammer is the point where the hammer touches the hand. since the hammer rod is held a bit above the end this would explain how the begin of the hammer comes out his belly. We also asume that the 0,0,0 point of the hero lays in the middle of the hero (X-axis Y-axis and Z-axis way). So when they import the hammer in to the animation it aligns the 0,0,0 point point of the hammer to that of the animation (well in the 3D programs I worked with). Its just coinfidence that it gives such a amusing effect.

And btw Shrimpo wouldn't do that.
Morbo looks at Shrimpo
Ok so he could do it but my explination holds more sence. (even if no one understands it) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Ahh.. Thanx for the translation.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Maybe he had a fight with the deathknight? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
Or the hero said something bad about AA Gent, and the wrong person at Larian Studios heard it? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
