Haha, look at that! Already, there’s more healthy stuff that actually makes sense to eat.
Again, I don’t know how these things work. Maybe our getting-food-stuff-to-the-office-lady reads our blog?
A lot of people here in the Studio are putting much effort into trying to be healthy. It’s a great thing, but the tasty not-so-healthy-stuff we have unlimited supply of here makes it hard. So last Friday one guy in the office sent an e-mail (we have a “To everyone”-mail group) saying: “What about more healthy stuff?”.
Remember the awesome Bulletstorm diorama trailer?
It took some time, but we finally got the actual stuff used in the trailer in our office! It just arrived and even though it unfortunately broke a little bit during shipping (doh!) and will need repairing, everyone gets pumped up just looking at it!
Check out some pictures of it and let us know what you think in the comments!
For quite a few of us here at PCF, making games equals making worlds. Getting the wear and tear right for objects of a certain age, getting a feel for the history and story telling, looking how the sun looks when illuminated through foliage or reflected of certain surfaces. Flickr and youtube are good tools for getting references for stuff like that, but there is no better way to gather references than to actually leave the office and see the world. Every now and then we leave the safety of our studio and visit cool places. With cameras in hand we march on and I would like to share some of the photos we have taken with you guys.
You know how people sometimes can bring cake, buns or cookies to work and offer to their friends? I love it when people do that.
Although, that’s not how real Polish men like Tomasz do it. He brings drinks and huge chunks of meat. I like that even more!
Know why he did it? The man just got married!
Boom! A second DLC is here for Bulletstorm now and let me tell you; this one is kick ass!
Maps for Echoes and Anarchy mode!
One of the things I did on Bulletstorm was to get people excited about stuff. When I didn’t manage to ignite any fire when telling about an idea or showing a gameplay prototype, it usually meant that stuff was crap and not worth pursuing.
Because of my role as the igniter, I was rarely able to experience a review of an idea I knew nothing about. It’s just logic: if I was to be surprised by any element of the game that would mean I’m not doing my job very well.
No matter what your job is, you need the appropriate tools for it. A carpenter might need a saw and a hammer. A painter might need a brush. A proctologist might need… Lube?
What tools does a game designer need then?
Well, we use the computer a lot, but the tools we keep coming back to when discussing things amongst each other are toys!

One of my favorite things with the Internet is how random it is, and the kind of humor that originates from it. Who doesn’t like funny looking cats, horribly drawn comics or pictures with funny captions?
Actually, a lot of people. But I love it!
When I came here to work, I directly noticed that people here are fun and easy going. I also noticed that Bulletstorm was gonna be over the top while hilarious to both play and experience, so I set out to make damn sure we got some high class Internet humor in it!
There was one great of way to achieve this.
