In the meantime, of course, to get the sound and music of the game done the way I wanted it to be, I tried to get the needed equipment. Because most of these equipment are vintage, to find, test and repair them takes a lot of time. Fortunately most of this work is done.

I will write again when shootings are finally completed….

Game Language: The game is primarily planned to be in my native language, Turkish. I made this decision because a lot of complicated texts would need to be translated into proper English before the production. Moreover, to do the live sound recordings with a non-English cast (some of whom don’t know English), would be a great problem. For now, there is no time, budget and assigned crew to solve these problems. But, every little bit will be meticulously translated to English (and most likely, to other languages by the publisher) with an in-game motivated way. I mean, you will choose your language within the game world using a kind of special glasses.

Game Engine: The most recent decision is using Unity (No, we’re still doing first-person panorama, not 3D). By using Unity, it’s possible to compile the game to Web, PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Xbox 360 and PS3. Doesn’t this sound great !

Scriptwriting: Well… I have been writing for over a year now and 95% of the script is finished. Right now, I am working on the final scene, do overall revisions and retouches, etc. Actually, I didn’t realize that the details and maintaining the whole quality would become such a real problem as the scriptwriting advanced. Also, all possible in-game action combinations, adding realism and these kind of things took a lot of time and effort.

Pre-Production: I have been collecting props, equipment, accessories, etc and exploring locations for the last year as the script progresses. The pre-production will end approximately in two months and the production will begin immediately after that.

Wish you all a Happy New Year filled with health, wealth, love, peace, music and adventure gaming!

I prefer mostly analog because of its warm and lush sound. Sound effects and music will have both analog and digital characteristics, mixed in a way that consist of my own ideas, which are kept secret for now. This means, you can expect some original timbres. I have been organizing my written ideas of sound, and now, some recent experiments have just revealed that the ideas are getting close to become real. This should give a glimpse of what I’m talking about.

The soundtrack may be both on Audio CD (16 bit / 44.1 kHz) and DVD-Audio (24 bit / 192 kHz). The DVD-Audio will be the original master recording of the soundtrack.

Some of the master recordings will be made on a reel-to-reel tape recorder and then be transferred to digital for storage. So, the original analog master recording should be on a vinyl record to get the pure analog experience. Long Live Analog!

Here are the photos of some of the equipment that I have bought recently { Korg MS-20, Oberheim Matrix 1000, Bojidar BE 430 Stage Echo ( Front – Back ), Monacor EEM-1200, Yamaha Pro R3, Revox C 115 }. These are also added to the Behind the Scenes section.

In my opinion, the answers are quite positive. Let me explain.

As I see it, the Adventure Games Genre doesn’t have much in common with today’s computer games. It is the most successful trial of the interactive movie concept. It’s an art form of its own. It has its own grammar and narration. It has distinctive characteristics. The most important one is that it has predetermined structure like movies. But, the other games have endless possibilities due to the development of artificial intelligence in digital technology. By predetermined structure I mean that the creator of the game is trying to put something “specific” in the creation, as in the arts.

Can you say that “Film” art will fade away and die because of technological development. If not, then the statements and fears about the death of the adventure game genre is definitely nonsense, unless your expectations are tend towards technology itself rather then the arts.

By the way, it’s going very well. I will post the details later.

We developed some demos on Wintermute but are not sure yet whether to continue using this game engine or not for the game. Although there are still a lot of things to do, early trials showed that we may push the limits of the Wintermute. You will love this game!

First, the bad news…
• A week ago, while walking down the street with my friends I had a severe dizzy spell. That was the most interesting and bad experience I ever encountered. I felt terribly dizzy, had temporary hearing loss and a feeling of pressure in my brain. I felt like I was going to faint. My doctor told me that this could be Meniere’s disease but that I had nothing serious. Now, I am applying some alternative treatments with herbs and stuff.
• The script should have been finished by the end of this month but I have only completed nearly half of it. For not to compromise the expectations, my anticipated completion deadline of the game is postponed to early summer of 2011.

The good news…
• To ensure more precise audio-visuals in both, video, and photo shootings I bought a Canon EOS 5D Mark II with some accessories and various other equipment, I want them to be top-notch in unison with the story.
• Right now, I am working on the game only, no other bits and pieces.
