<A HREF="http://rpgvault.ign.com" target="_blank">RPG Vault</A> have put up the <a href=http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/554/554444p1.html>ninth developer diary</a> about Silver Style's upcoming The Fall: Last Days of Gaia. Here, lead tester Adrian Kastorf discusses... lead testing.

<blockquote>Still, once in a while even a rather small problem turns out to be quite a challenge. There's a cutscene in which a character lifts off with a chopper. During a testing session, it was noted that it didn't look quite right. Roger, one of our script coders, tried to correct the issue, but every time one error was fixed, another one showed up. Sometimes, the chopper would fly off on its own, leaving the character behind. At other times, only the rotor blades did so or vice versa. He even got to the point where the character took off magically while the chopper stayed on the ground. Altogether, it took him a week until everything worked the way it was supposed to. I guess Roger won't forget that one too soon.</blockquote>

Oh what wild and wacky hijinks go on behind the scenes, eh?

Looks like a good game.

Why do I have the feeling someone is creeping up behind me with a baseball bat?

Don't worry. I think it looks good as well. It COULD deliver, we'll see.

There's usually some whacked out stories during development cycles. Sometimes you get an idea by reading secret Quotes on games.

It looks like their QA is actually bothering to fix an issue like that. That's a good sign. Whoever made Chrome left so many bugs like that in, the game could be conceived as a comedy. There was this one mission in the demo, where you had to climb ontop of a belltower and shoot another sniper. Sometimes, when you climbed up the tower the sniper would magically be standing in the middle of the sky waiting for you, and other times you'd 'climb to your death' because of some collision problem at the top. You'd climb up and suddenly fall down, losing the game.
