I asked a few journalists what is it that the readers of their magazines ask them the most. The answer, I have to say, surprised me.
I expected “give me the scoop on the games no one even knows exist” or “review everything” or “please include a poster of Trishka in revealing clothes.” I know I would ask for just that. But no, what readers usually ask for is the inner workings of gamedevelopment.
Allow me to present you Karolina Grochowska, a Producer, sitting across from where I am. As you may have noticed she is a human composed of XX chromosomes, or a “female,” as they are usually called. And that creates a temperature problem.
PCF recently had its Christmas dinner and I thought I’d share some pictures from the event.
Okay, so we do not do everything by the text book. Guilty as charged. Truth is, however, that virtually any project of Bulletstorm’s scale will have changes and improvements being implemented until the very last moment… and then some more. This is exactly what occurred to one of the levels I’ve been working on. A particular area underwent a major last minute change and what follows is an uneasy path that we went through.
Christmas is upon us and we here at People Can Fly would like to send you all a Christmas greeting, Bulletstorm-style!
My name is Jakub Kisiel and I’m the Lead Animator here at PCF.
Many of my friends ask me what do I actually do at work. They know I’m an animator, but they are curious how do I make the characters move. They just see the end result – a moving character that walks, runs, covers, shoots and.. well.. dies in a horrible (but fun) way.
What does an animator actually do when he sits all night, clicking with his mouse and staring at the monitor? Well, here you go! I’ve recorded a short video showing how Bulletstorm animations are created from start to finish.

Hi guys,
Some of you have asked questions about what our work place looks like and what’s on the pictures in Ed’s calendar. I shouldn’t comment on the Calendar, except to say that the December one is one of the best ones! But I would be happy to share some pictures I grabbed of the Studio.
Today when I came into the office, one of our artists had left a fine piece of art on my desk named “The Adventures OF EMO Wormboy – Episode 1″.
Most things do not explode. For example, you can shoot a car, but it won’t explode. Electronic equipment doesn’t blow up as well. But that’s “boring” real life. In game development we tend to go in the opposite direction, and that’s a good thing.
Have you ever waited in a two hour line to play a game for five minutes, then straight afterwards got back in line to do it all again?
E3 in Los Angeles was huge for People Can Fly this year. It was the first time we let people put their sweaty hands on the controller and dive into the Bulletstorm experience.
