Message: [QUOTE="_oBSOLEte_, post: 139746, member: 39353"] I'm here to practice my engrish after all. I think what's relevant for you on the page is : Joystick : Ecstatica's monsters seem to have been purveyed with personality and feelings. How did you manage to get this result? Maindron : It's true, the werewolf's behavior, for example, evolve depending on the player's actions and his incarnated form. In fact, what's changing, are the animations. But it seems to confer feelings. Regarding programming in Ecstatica, there's two types of animations. Animations related to the situation or status (i.e. when falling on a rock at the village's entrace, when hurt). And then there are monsters's animations adapted to the player's reactions (the werewolf get scared when hit several times, it looks puzzled at the transformed player, not attacking...) They also talk about the somewhat heavy requirement to be able to run the game at the time, as the full install on disk was a whopping 70MB, and said their team would increase for a sequel made to run on cheaper hardware than Pentium. I believe I still had a 486 at the time, but I already got the CDRom for Dragon Lore so the game was basically out of my league. [/QUOTE]
