The mostly unedited chat log for the developer chat with Master Creating, which covers their action CRPG with the cyberpunk theme, Restricted Area.

As you can see, it was a lot of fun:

[Saint_Proverbius] What rating is Restricted Area going for, since that's a big topic?
[JanB] It´s going for M
[Saint_Proverbius] M for what kind of content? Just violence?
[Motu] ...
[Motu] maybe...
[Motu] use of drugs
[JanB] Everybody how likes to get defeated by a clever AI and doesn´t care much about graphics should check out Imerion (www.imerion.net)
[Motu] use of alcohol
[JanB] Violence, Sex, drugs, speech
[JanB] All the funny stuff
[EEVIAC] Its not going to have a really out of place sex scene like Gothic 2 is it?
[JanB] No
[JanB] We are discreet
[Motu] but you can have sex
[JanB] Yes
[Motu] a lot of sex
[JanB] Stop that!
[EEVIAC] With machines?​

Thanks to all who showed up. Those who didn't, I hope your toes rot off.

  <Exitium> Atari focused on the teen demographic for ToEE.
  <JohnPnP> I am 16, I can go anywhere and get an M game, no card.
  <JohnPnP> carding*
  <Exitium> and only 2% of the buyers are teens.
  <Exitium> It just goes to show how stupid Atari is.

  <MetalWyrm> Exitium, rating doesn't mean shit here in Canada
  <Exitium> Jan, just make it M rated.

Best comeback:

"My fiancee can read Greek now though. Does that count?" "Only if she can make gyros."

 

[EEVIAC]

Is it just me or was there an absolute shitload of information in that chat? Maybe it was an illusion created by the informality, and it'd probably be impossible to do something like that on a Troika chat with 60 people, but the moderated chats are always really stilted and never really have that much more information than a good interview anyways.

If the named weapons go through, I'll be very impressed.

Yeah, I don't think the Devil Whiskey chat will be that large either, so I may not have to moderate that one as well. We'll see how many we get.

If the named weapons go through, I'll be very impressed.

A weapon making skill and the ability to name them, as discussed in the chat, is a pretty slick idea.

 

[Psilon]

Well, moderation does ensure at least a minimum amount of content to the interview. Who else remembers the Project Phoenix chat after Troika got g-lined?

Still, I dislike submitting questions into a queue.

 

[POOPERSCOOPER]

hey

Why was my stuff edited out?

 

[Vault Dweller]

<Exitium> Jan: invade france for us again.
<JanB> No problem - give me 6 days and some tanks...

Now that's the spirit, Jan. The German Reich shall rise again! 8)

Re: hey

Because you're an idiot and a troll?
