[Sacred Carrot] A new tool: the LBAnimator Studio

By MBN Bot at 2006-10-08 19:30

By Alexandre Fontoura [alexfont]

First of all, sorry for a non-constant update of this website, but I hope with this new tool and the upcoming next version of LBA Story Coder this website could get more updates. The new tool I have to announce is the LBAnimator Studio, a program to edit and view the LBA1 3D models and animations. This program was motivated by the LBA Prequel project who surely would need something like this to be as perfect as possible. I\'d like you to give some feedbacks about the program and also, if you have some bug or feature to report, please, use the Bug Tracking System the way I could have all things saved.

Cover Art

By elmuerte at 2006-06-01 10:04

Yesterday I also scanned the boxes of LBA and Twinsen's Odyssey I have here. And I've put them online here:

It would be nice if we could complete the collection with all releases. So if you have a release that isn't there yet please scan all parts of it. Don't take cover art images from other sites (like mobygames), unless they are of a high quality and don't contain watermarks.

LBA1 playable using MS Virtual PC

By elmuerte at 2006-05-17 14:27

According to this entry on Ben Armstrong's blog LBA1 "runs very well under Virtual PC".
Ben Armstrong is the program manager of the Virtual Machine team at Microsoft.

So if you can't get LBA1 to work using DosBox or LBAwin you can give it a try with MS Vritual PC.

I wonder if it can also properly run LBA2.

Scans from the French Generation 4 magazine

By elmuerte at 2006-04-05 16:35

lbadream submitted 15 scanned pages from the French gaming magazine Generation 4.

LBA1 Review

LBA2 Review

Quite long reviews. The gaming magazines I used to read only had 2 to 4 pages for a review. In case of a 4 page review it was usually the month's special (yes, that includes all the screenshots).

Sanqua Experience #17

By elmuerte at 2006-03-29 16:37

Issue 17 of the online magazie Sanqua Experience has been released. Just in case you didn't know, Sanqua Experience is a free French online magazine about computer games, but not like your average computer game review magazine. So far they featured a couple of articles about Fred and his work.

This issue features Fred twice. It contains an interview with Fred taken in December 2005. And it has a feature about the recent knighing of the three game developers.
As far as I can tell, my French isn't that good, the interview is about Fred's company Ludoïd. But also about the next-gen consoles and the future of games (I think).

So visit their site and download your copy.

Updated: Link put in some effort to translate the interview to English, you can view just the interview here.

Gamasutra feature on the knighting

By elmuerte at 2006-03-15 20:26

Gamesutra has a feature on the knighting of the three game designers. This is more than just a simple news post about the three receiving a medal. They give some more attention to the gaming accomplishments of the French game developers (and not just Ancel and Raynal).

It also contain some interesting info

Quote:

Frédérick Raynal remembered French game genius Paul Cuisset (Flashback, 1992, Fade to Black, 1995, Moto Racer 3, 2001) with whom he made Time Commando (1996) and might work with again in the near future.
...
Raynal seemed almost ready to make a come back: "What I miss most is the teamwork, this is the great part of this work, not the game that ends up in a box on shelves. It's the process that I miss, even if it is hard."

Game designers have been knighted

By elmuerte at 2006-03-13 17:09

As reported earlier Michel Ancel, Frederick Raynal and Shigeru Miyamoto have me "knighted" in the Order of Arts and Letter. (Read: they received a medal.)

Jeux France has photo series on the ceremony.

So, Fred is done with being knighted. Now time for LBA3
