#19309 Your Random JOD though of the day?
Posted by Deep Loner on 02 October 2007 - 11:41 PM in [ARCHiVED] JOD Discussion
With the fluidity of NiGHTS' FMV animation... FMV of NiGHTS vs. Reala would be quite a sight to see.

Make out..... I don't think so.I was saying that maybe NiGHTS and Reala "kiss and make up" at the end. More like.."Make out", though.
But seriously, wait 'till you hear my piece on DreamCast. That's all I'm saying.

WHAT IS THAT?!?Random thought: NiGHTS sounds like the chick who sings the Leek spin song. http://leekspin.com/
hows that for random? (WHAT?! I've had it running for like 20 minutes! Its on my mind! )
Seriously, can somebody identify where that song originally came from?
EDIT: Nevermind. Took me two seconds.
Loituma Girl (also known as Leekspin) is a Flash animation set to a gibberish section of the traditional Finnish folk song "Ievan Polkka" (sometimes misspelled Levan Polka) sung by the Finnish quartet Loituma, taken from their 1995 debut album Things of Beauty.

I don't have skippidy-quick reflexes, so I use frame advance.I used my skippidy-quick reflexes to snap them from the trailor.
My random thought of the day: JOD will do well, but will underachieve relative to its true potential.

Who's Jackle???
Who's Jackle???
WAIT JUST A PIAN-SPITTIN' MINUTE HERE!!!! You do not know who JACKLE IS?!
Just go to devART, man. It's that simple. search him. You ought to find something in there. believe me, I search Jackle on devART over & over again just to find wallpapers and crap like that.
Sometimes, somebody can say something so ridiculous that there's no possible way it can be taken seriously. ESPECIALLY IF THE POST ENDS WITH !!!!!Answer to Deep Loner: Jackle is one of the Nightmaren bosses, initially fought as Claris's third boss fight which happens at the end of the Soft Museum level. Here's the site's art page on him:

They should sell that powdered flavoring stuff by itself. That would make sucking Doritos unnecessary. <-- Pay attention to that plese.Oh yeah? You all love Reala so much? Reala can go suck a dorito for all I care.

In the meantime, however, one would think that a big web name like IGN would have some halfway decent programmers on staff. The "Insiders Only" content (for right-click to download) is protected by nothing more than a JavaScript onClick() routine. Which means that if you want to download the high resolution Windows Media and QuickTime videos, all you need to do is disable JavaScript, refresh the page, right-click and download.
In Internet Explorer, this is as simple as adding ign.com to the "Untrusted Sites" zone.
#14751 Japanese JoD site is up!

It doesn't seem fair to TRiPPY and DiGi.. it's almost a given that if/when they're offline, something happens that makes the whole NiGHTS fanbase EXPLODE WITH HAPPY.
I seriously wonder if someone very high up at SEGA keeps DOS-ing them?
#15508 Japanese JoD site is up!

That reminds me.They should sooo have a download to do this with the mouse all the time.
When I finish reinstalling all of the software on my hard drive, I'm going to make a Windows Media Version of the video trailer on the site. Just because I can. And also so anyone who wants to can make a JoD AMV.
Also, would anyone like to be able to run the Flash files off of their hard drive?

Sorry, I can't convert the video without distorting the right edge of the video. This is a problem with the ffdshow decoder that I'm using.Good idea. I know I would totally love to replace dreams dreams with death metal.
RealPlayer plays it just fine, but RealPlayer can't be used as a source filter for encoding.

I don't think that the Japanese are necessarily better artists or programmers. Probably, since none of the real development is done in the United States or Europe, SEGA of America and SEGA of Europe basically exist as distribution and marketing companies rather than actual developers, which means that development talent in these companies is going to be limited. In contrast, SEGA of Japan can tap a much larger reserve of talent for something like a Flash site. Regular programming skills are easily transferrable to Flash. The ActionScript language used in Flash is basically EMCAScript (informally known as JavaScript) with a different object framework. ECMAScript (JavaScript) shares much of its syntax with Java, which is very syntactically similar to C++, and either that or regular C is most likely used for SoJ's game programming. So SEGA of Japan has potentially lots of people who could code a Flash application. On the other hand, SEGA of Europe and America probably have a much smaller base of web developers already busy with lots of other work anyway. Some of these developers might even have no idea that Flash is basically just a JavaScript-driven vector graphics engine and be reluctant to work on such a project. There's a tendency among the technially-oriented to view Flash as some kind of mysterious black box that only special kinds of people, like "artists" and "designers", can transform into something useful. Usually it's just because technically-oriented people like myself have no artistic ability whatsoever and so wouldn't be able to do anything useful with something like Flash anyway.Japan usually comes out with everything first. They seem to be a lot faster and better at making Flash sites too.
Why are all the Japanese such brilliant programmers and artist?
As you might have guessed, I have no idea what would be involved in creating the artistic resources for something like the JoD Flash site, but my guess is that, besides having more artistic talent available, Sega of Japan would also have easier access to whatever art resources arise as a normal part of the development process, thus giving them more to work with and more people to work with it.
It's just the way that the game industry has developed that more of the development resources are in Japan. If JoD were being developed by an American company, it would probably be the other way around.
I know that the old Japanese NiGHTS into Dreams website has a link to the JoD site.Also, is there a link from the main Sega of Japan site to the NiGHTS site? I can never find anything there! Not even the search engine helps. I have seen the site and all...I just want to know how anyone found it.

Wait, does SoA have a JoD page up yet?
They have this, but compared to the Japanese site it's pretty worthless.

Those are delicious-looking doughnuts! And... uh, chocolate-almond dipping sauce!
That's foreign. There's no way that can be marketable.

*sings Jackle's theme music*
Just wondering... any luck remembering where you guys have heard the voice before?
#12748 NiGHTS' voice and Music
Posted by Deep Loner on 25 August 2007 - 12:57 AM in [ARCHiVED] JOD Discussion
...but does it sound to anyone else like "Hey! He ran off!" was spoken by NiGHTS instead of Will? The voice sounds the same.

I've observed in my own dreams that I'm always able to breathe underwater.How can NiGHTS fly under water?
On the other hand, it is possible that NiGHTS' "Mermaren" form from the first game is returning, but that that detail simply hadn't been implemented yet.
#18009 NiGHTS JoD Offscreen video from TGS!

I remember reading quotes of Naka saying that he would be extra careful making another NiGHTS game because he valued the franchise so much. From what we've seen, the development team seems to be following that philosophy. Sonic Team is being smart enough to expand the game universe little bits at a time instead of reinventing everything all at once – a very strong temptation for imaginative game designers, but an idea that Sonic Team rightly recognizes would prove quite disastrous indeed.I would have to say yeah they do, seeing as it is Sonic team, lead by Iizuka, lead programmer from the original game and the same art designer and music directior from the original.
