Hahaha. Sword arms eh?

I saw once somewhere that Marian will be for the xbox; is there confirmed a computer version too? (I don’t have an xbox..)

Hah, the Prince of Persia motion-capture was the first thing that occurred to me too. If you haven’t read the original developer’s journal you really should:

Wow! The were really pretty with the dresses…. then they get this huge oversized sword thing and they’re stabbing people!!

I need to do that more for my animation, use actual reference. Can we see any snippets of the resulting animation?

@ #3: I thought the same thing, Ballet maybe?

6: I’d have tried Kickstarter, but its only for Americans. (so far…?)

Pretending to be Mega Man is awesome!

When I was a kid I used to put poster rolls on my arm just like you guys did and pretend I was Mega Man. It’s strange to see somebody do it again but with such focus and grace (except for the part where Eileen (?) hit the ceiling light).

Alec, have you considered using Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/) as a mechanism to fund your project rather than PayPal? I’m also prototyping a game on Unity and was considering using this to have us hit the ground running when we are done prototyping.

@3: used to be! Nice call
I had a great time doing this, and seeing some of Liem’s renderings of the references is AWESOME.

Awesome that last sword-jab move at the end was great
