| ||
| Uhura's wearing trousers? Sacrilege! We want teh legz!!! I KEEP FAINTING Lack of oxygen to the brain would be my guess. |
| ||
| No she isn't - she has got a skirt on. Plus, I got that tasty blonde one "Rand" in a skirt too - plus, "Nurse Chappell" too. Woof, woof.  Phoaarrr!!! |
| ||
| I vote for "seven of nine". |
| ||
| yes, I can handle the excitement. |
| ||
| No she isn't - she has got a skirt on. Oh. Well I'm all turned around on the game now. You've got three weeks to finish and release it, chop chop, there's a good sausage. |
| ||
| I dont think there is that much space infront of the navagation consoles |
| ||
| Forget the graphics, it is the sound that is what counts - it's all produced on-the-fly as you (as "Kirk") play the game - the speech changes based on events: http://media.putfile.com/Star-Trek---Blitz3D <<< Hello sailor. I think many people would have assumed that the above sound file was from an episode of Star Trek. |
| ||
| Hmm, where's that pointy-eared Venutian, Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy for those who don't know)?! |
| ||
| What? He's sitting there on the left at his post. His ears are visible. The only person who doesn't speak in the example is "Chekov" - I'm still working on his behaviours. |
| ||
Also, I can assure people that the bridge model is pretty much spot on in dimensions: |
| ||
| Star Trek > Star Wars, With that being said It looks very convincing. I'm not the biggest fan of the original but it looks just like the bridge did in the show. Personally I like TNG best and loathe DSN. If this is for a commercial game can you use their various likenesses and symbols? Put many meaningless abstract geometric shapes over the consoles and it will be 100% better. |
| ||
| Puki laughs in the face of copywrite laws. I don't get it myself - surely it would be more satisfying and fun to create original characters/uniforms/bridge designs than to use Star Trek ones? As for the sound file that he posted a link to - it sounds like a recording of the ambient background noise made on a day between adventures; a day in which nothing happens, and the crew just sit around, staring dully at their consoles and occasionally muttering and mumbling under their breath - kind of like a Sunday afternoon after having eaten a big lunch. |
| ||
| Hmm, where's that pointy-eared Venutian, Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy for those who don't know)?! Mr Spock was from Vulcan, not Venus. That's where women are made. I read a book about it once. |
| ||
| Ah yes, Venus; an exotic place, filled with women, retractible window blinds, carnivorous plants and romantic - yet stinky - canals... |
| ||
| I don't get it myself Millions of people love Star Trek - you can sit and let this thing play itself and a new random episode of Star Trek unfolds in front of you - plus, you get to shape that episode. it sounds like a recording of the ambient background noise made on a day between adventures This is the result of the Enterprise being attacked and is very damaged - the attacker is not visible although can be picked up by the sensors. It's to show that the bridge carry on without you ("Kirk") dishing out tons of orders. Who wants a game whereby the crew react only to your commands? This baby plays itself. |
| ||
| I get that, Puki, and it's a nice idea. The trouble is, everyone sounds calm, relaxed and, on occasion, a little bit bored; there's no sense of panic, danger or urgency. Also there is no sense of narrative focus to tie it all together. Do you think that it is possible to randomly generate a compelling, energetic episode? I'm not sure it is, but I'll be keeping an eye on how this develops. |
| ||
| You should allow the player to wander around the bridge, letting out mighty "Khaaaaaaan!" screams at the click of the mouse, just to keep the crew on their toes. Ooh, ooh! And it'd also be neat to stealthily sneak up to Uhura, listen to her mumbling quietly to herself for a while, and then loudly bellow "Fire!" in her ear(complete with melodramatic fist clenching animation.) |
| ||
| "JustLuke" - I have added you in. Listen to yourself: the crew just sit around, staring dully at their console - there's no sense of panic, danger or urgency http://media.putfile.com/test-97-95 |

| "JustLuke" - I have added you in. Wow, I just watched that episode yesterday! Listen to yourself: the crew just sit around, staring dully at their console - there's no sense of panic, danger or urgency media.putfile.com/test-97-95 |
| ||
| So....should I be seeing a movie? Or am I supposed to just hear the audio? I mean, I faint for anything Star Trek related. |
| ||
| Blah, Right click disabled. Useless. It seems to be only an audio file: http://uploadfile.putfile.com/videos/26420582455.wav |
| ||
| nice one. Trek LIVES! |
| ||
| Nope, no movie - yet. I'd like to complete before the new year - Christmas release. The main reason is (although not vital) 2006 is the 40th Anniversary of the original series - so, interest in the original series it at it's highest level for a while - especially, when you consider the 3 specially-made 40th anniversary movies due. This is a real nightmare job to script. The project was first started on the Amiga (circa 12 years ago) - I used a sound sampling cartridge to record the sound from 3 episodes of Star Trek, then proceeded to chop the sound up. Example: 'Mr Spock, meet me in the transporter room, bring engineer Scott with you'. I'd save the sample as a useable phrase (as is). I'd then dissect it and save the components separatley 'Mr Spock' 'meet me in the transporter room' 'bring' 'engineer' 'Scott' 'with you' On this basis, the sentence can be reconstructed with any crew-member's names. Many sentences can be dealt with this way - you can take everything Kirk (or anyone else) said to someone and change it to anyone you like. I store multiple versions of many samples (words and sentences) - as Kirk (or other members of the crew) may say things at different speeds/volumes/emotions during the many episodes. Example: I have multiple versions of Kirk saying 'Mr Spock' ranging from him saying them soft, to him saying Spock's name in anger. I can then insert the most suitable version. The main point of the idea was to have a living Enterprise, where everyone carries on doing their job - regardless of what you ,as Kirk, do. In a nutshell, we are talking a virtual Enterprise. Expect to see more stuff coming from this project. |

| Yep, seems like you'll need to get a license from the Star Trek franchise in order to release this for profit, good luck with that. |
| ||
| I'll keep an eye on it! It'd be hot to see the crew rolling around and doing their thing. |
| ||
| A new genre eh - The Chat-Em-Up ! |
| ||
| I would ask for the license before going into this in a big way as they have rather good legal departments that deal with this sort of thing. |
| ||
| I say just add a pumping techno track and call it a day. |
| ||
| I would ask for the license before going into this in a big way as they have rather good legal departments that deal with this sort of thing. Ed...if puke worried about licenses... |
| ||
| Uhh, I just said that a few days ago... |
| ||
| Also, I can assure people that the bridge model is pretty much spot on in dimensions:  I know it makes me look realy sad, but I dont care, The navication and Helm consoles need to be further forward, and the stairs on both port and starboard need to be further round |
| ||
| Yeah, I'd move the Command Module forward about 12 Rigel Measure Units. =) |
| ||
| Thats 12 CenteRigel units. Some people Huh. |
| ||
| This is so awesome. I am big on the notion of interactive storytelling. Can't wait to see it in action! |
| ||
| Wow, I had the last post 7 months ago. This idea of an interactive TV show is still awesome to me, has there been further progress? |
| ||
| I'm hugely sceptical about the effectiveness of interactive storytelling, but it is a fascinating concept. It's one of those ideas that seems to be fundamentally flawed for many reasons - and yet the idealist in my wishes that it wasn't, know what I mean? |
| ||
| hawt "Puki", I'm assuming you missed your deadline? |
| ||
| Wow, I had the last post 7 months ago. This idea of an interactive TV show is still awesome to me, has there been further progress? looks good! As I written in my site, also my STproject will be something like it: Episodes scriptable bye users! |
| ||
| Hand it over. |
| ||
| lulz "sonic", you want a 9 month old, dead project (fairly sure at least. Isn't "puki" onto oblivion 2 in b3d more recently?) from "puki"? |
| ||
| Yes, puki, please finish it so I can stop fainting all the time in anticipation. |
| ||
| If he managed to get the speech not to sound annoyingly choppy, this would be a pretty cool ambient thingamabob. I guess "screen saver" is the generic term, even though they don't really save screens anymore. |
| ||
| Just started actually watching Enterprise for the first time through the magic of reruns. It's actually pretty good. Although that theme really sucks ass. |
