Once about a time, there was a very buggy game that was nowhere near being finished.
During the development of Bulletstorm I’ve (and many others) been grabbing screenshots and videos every now and again when fudged up stuff happens. There’s way too much for me to show everything at once, but I thought I’d share a few of the random screenshots.
I always thought the People Can Fly logo is kind of “old school”.
It doesn’t really have anything to do with Bulletstorm, because it was created way before we started this project. I thought I’d try and make something interesting with it, using the animation Arcade wanted me to record a few months ago.
At first it was just supposed to be a looping animated .gif image for forums. Just for fun. The .avi is kind of a side effect… because our Audio Director Adam saw it and then he added sounds, and now it looks like a beginning of some bigger logo movie.
Surströmming, a Swedish ”delicacy” that is rotten fish.
I’m a Swede, so when our concept artist John heard about me going to Sweden for a visit he asked me about this phenomenon and asked me to get him some to try out.
Of course, knowing how terrible it smells and how disgusting its taste is; I gladly helped out!
He had no idea what he was in for…
You asked for this! Previously you asked us for videos showing our Elite physics Programmer Tomasz putting himself in the role of a ragdoll. So, as a Valentine’s card from us; Well, here it is!
Bulletstorm uses a lot of ragdolls for when enemies get shot or sent flying. Like when you kick them or they’re struck by an explosion. But to really make sure our ragdolls have the right “feel” in the game, Tomasz did some real life testing. With bubble-wrap. And the floor.
It’s obvious that I’m at People Can Fly.
I asked the receptionist for a painkiller because I had a headache and she brought me a copy of the game.
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.
Christmas is upon us and we here at People Can Fly would like to send you all a Christmas greeting, Bulletstorm-style!
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″.
Hello, my name is Alexander and I’m a Level Designer at People Can Fly. I’m a worried man. There is no other explanation. The other day I was routinely playing through one of my levels. All of a sudden I triggered a combat situation so fun that I immediately felt it warranted for a new Skillshot. I even thought of a name for it – “Blindfire” and it involves the player doing stuff while being blinded by an enemy. What follows is a recount of me trying to get it into the game.
