Hey gang,

So, I've been updating the portfolio for my work and I wanted to share some videos with you all.

The first one is a video montage I had made for the studio to present the new Issue 24 cutscenes. This is SPOILER HEAVY, if you dare to watch it. The video also shows off new cutscene technology implemented by Black Scorpion, which is Depth of Field.

The second link shows off LUA scripting. This was implemented by our brilliant programming team for Issue 24. The video only shows off a small portion of what we did with it; for example, Arbiter Hawk implemented the new Paladin event in Kings Row entirely through LUA. This scripting language is incredibly powerful and, the best for us, very easy to iterate upon.

The third link shows off a bit of everything, it is also a bit SPOILER HEAVY, so please be warned.

Really awesome stuff.

Video 1: Awesome!

Video 2: Also awesome, sad we'll never get to see it in works.

Video 3 : Well played, well played. Your arcs were my favorite Dr A. Best of luck to you where-ever you go.

Having played through some of this stuff on beta, I was QUITE impressed with what I'd seen. The revival tech, the new cutscene tech, all of it just elevated the game.

(BTW, I heard from Protean and Viridian that you wrote Anti-Matter's personal story and cutscene... damn you for making me tear up during that!)

At least now I can tell you how many times, when I saw the new cutscenes in beta, I blurted out aloud, "Now THAT is how cutscenes should look!"

The more I hear about I24, the sicker I feel.

You seriously are evil, Aeon!! Think I'm gonna jump on and beat your character up.


NCSOFT may take away our servers and beloved dev team, but they can't break our spirit and community. with all your power, NCSOFT, your victory will be bitter-sweet. I, personally will be there to laugh at you when you face-plant into the ground.

Wow- those were some interesting tools from the LUA scripting. I'd seen a lot of that in the Beta that I was able to play through*, but seeing how it was done, and what could be done with it in this "behind the scenes" was really cool.

*Lesson to all, the adage "Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today" ain't just whistlin' Dixie.

WOW! The stuff in the last video is a game changer! It would have been great to see.

People have been reporting that they've been unable to log on to the Beta server - we were assuming that the "all development ceases at once" stuff meant just that, and that all the non-live servers had been shut down.

I think I'll have to get back on beta, hah. I was leaving the high level stuff unplayed, wanted to do it on Live.

Not much worry of that anymore, is there?

Unless of course, our efforts are successful.

I tried it Saturday. Ping was through the roof, lag was at 40+ second for power activation. I couldn't zone or use any means of moving to another map (Pocket D teleport, Orob portal), and NPC's were rubber banding all over the place.

I read this as "Dr. Aeon's Studio Moves" and expected a video of Sean teaching me how to dance.

As disappointed as I am, that's some awesome game stuff you've got there. Sad we won't get to see more of it.

I wasn't aware of this.

I'll try to get a message to the folks who can, at least, restart the server.

Unfortunately if it's a client bug, it won't be addressed.
