Here is the legacy of Prince Of Persia.And there's the technique used on making PoP1 and PoP2.I think it's a silly but hard way,because mechner used
his brother for the moves!He recorded all the moves as running,sliding,jumping ect.Then used a newly invented a machine from england that allowed him to trace every frame and have the trace be recorded in his Apple 2.And blah blah ..... Read it.
(BTW,this topic wasn't sticked to somewhere,and i thought it's important enough to be sticked.Lock this if exists.) _________________ "Why is it that every time a disaster stirkes i find myself without a proper blade?Still, it's better than nothing."
My father put out the modem and lost it.I'm leaving here for some months i guess. |

Yeah, I have seen this in one documentary film long long ago, there was told that his brother made all prince's moves and they showed it too. I couldn't believe that _________________ see my webpage for more old games modding, editors, my levels and downloads!

Yeh, this is cool. But actually, his brother didn't made all moves. Mechner used some other people for the moves, too... If this is not right, correct me. _________________ We have a little cat,

I was totally blown away when I saw that in the bonus movies from SoT (i think). Pretty awesome if you think about it.
And interestingly, the same idea of scanning people's movement is used today to make 3D animations more realistic. I guess Mechner was one of the first if not THE first to use this idea in a game. _________________ ~ to be filled... ~ |
