The featurette did not have actual video of the easter egg, so I offered to get the footage for the director this week. This involved me running the MESS emulator at 1280x720, which generated an avi that was about 3 GB of video for 20 seconds. Additionally, to get to the easter egg, you really need to kill off all three dragons. Monday I spent a couple hours playing version two of the game, trying to get good enough to get the lone pixel you need to get to the secret room. I needed to use save states in MESS, as I don't think I had enough disk space to record a game of Adventure (it takes me about 10 minutes from start to finish) completely. Did you know there's a bug in MESS where - when it asks you for a save slot - it interprets choosing "1" as hitting the select button on your virtual 2600? No? Neither does anyone else in the fucking world, until I uncovered it, apparently. Thank God for save slot 9. I'll never again use anything but. There were a couple of times where I was really close in pulling off the easter egg capture, only to get my ass handed to me by an unkilled dragon, or the goddamn bat. But I finally did it, and tried to enter the secret room cinematically. It's tough, however, to act when you're a square blob the same color as the room's walls. But I eventually got it all together, and hopefully it makes it into the final version. If it does, I'm going to have a huge ego about it, demanding to be referenced like "Ice Cream Jonsey as... THE PLAYER." the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey! |
