Too Human's Denis Dyack pokes fun at Penny Arcade game

Mar 23rd 2007 11:21PM (Joystiq)
Phil- Well we chose to show it because at the time we thought it was important to make sure people knew the game would be in 3D. We all knew what we had was early but we decided to show it anyway. What's that saying about hindsight?

I have absolute faith in the 3D guys. They really are pros and I think they'll be able to pull this off. They still have a lot of effects to add and getting the cell shading in there will be huge. I can say I don't like what's on the screen right now because they don't want the game to look that way either. This is just the phase it's in right now. I think the models are strong we just need to keep working on it.

This is all new for us. I'm not worried about it. At the end of the day we'll have a game and people will like it or they won't. Nothing I say can change that.

We gave Denis a pretty nice comic I thought after his comments about showing games early. It really made sense to us. We thought about what it would be like if we had to show every comic strip we did to people before we were finished. It was a scary thought and the comic was really our way of supporting him and other developers.

He's certainly right that a lot of people didn't like the 3D stuff in our trailer. I happen to be one of them. All I can say is that we'll keep working on it and hopefully make something cool.

I know some people wonder why we even decided to make a game. Honestly why wouldn't we. I mean I think it's every gamers dream to make a game of their own right? I wish I had a better reason, honestly we just thought it would be fun.

It might suck but that's a risk we take every time we make something. All we can do, all we've ever done is try to make the best stuff we can. If the game does suck I promise we'll be the first people to tell you;)

Joystiq asks: should Penny Arcade be in the webcomic poll?

I should probably let this die but I want to make one thing clear. Me saying we are not just a web comic is not me having delusions of grandeur. If you say PA is just a web comic then you are overlooking Jerry's new post which I think is just as important as the strip. It's okay if you don't agree with me on that but he's my friend and I'm not going to discount his work by saying all we are is a comic strip. Maybe it's semantics but I think it's important.

Haha wow, I was just hoping to decrease some drama:) That really backfired on me I guess. You guys do whatever you want. Also while I'm in here, thanks to Joystiq for all the Child's Play support.

I think of PA as a game news and opinion site. Part of it is a news post and part of it is a comic strip.
