CPU: Come in Glory for something
ask ... Slava! Slava! ... Vyacheslav, you can ask a couple
questions here very interested in the fate of your very
sensational project Raven Black, we can not even sent a certain
amount of money to here we got Black Raven, 2 duck
how he was at the moment?
CF: Well, he was suspended for one
time, literally, a month and a half,
I tried to get tough programmer
under wINDOWS, well under wINDOWS I, of course,
weak, so while staying on the Spectrum, completed yet, perhaps,
the timing did not know how to get there again if something
will not happen is, that is, I will try
quickly as possible, somewhere in late summer - early autumn ...
CPU: interesting concept to find out ...
CF: It seems 50% at 1 BLACK
Raven, well, as it were now all in the future,
appeared aviation ...
CPU: Well che, STARCRAFT type or what?
CF: weaker than STARCRAFT, etc. , if the 1 st Raven was
similar to the first WARCRAFT 'a per cent to 95, here, of
course, and the field I do not make a big screen, is 64 * 64,
here, and on schedule weaker, the two sides only, not 3, ie
people - military truck ...
CPU: But will not air in ALLODS, I heard somewhere that ...
CF: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I really liked the toy ALLODS, that
is, to me not only that here wall to wall fights, but For
example, one hero, it must somewhere get something out there to
open the gate, someone else to find someone to kill, take, for
example gold, it is necessary to build something and after that
fight, that is, I hope, will such levels where you have to head
to think ...
CPU: This is not to be fantasy ...
CF: It is all technical and
Many spells are taken from ALLODS, ie,
fire walls, stone walls ...
CPU: What about technological part
fit in with the fantasy?
CF: Well, think of it, in the future, too, can be all
kinds of wizards, there are on each side of a special wizard In
addition, each unit will have some extra abilities, magic
there, someone knows how far to jump, someone teleport, someone
let the rocket far away, someone is divided on the move, some
one makes a magic shield, well, this Plan ...
CPU: I wonder if the price change on
Compared with the previous part, was swill, $ 3 ...
CF: Well, $ 2 wholesale, I immediately said,
that 2. $ 2, $ 2 well can be, well, roughly 50 rubles today,
and the minimum wholesale party - 8 pieces.
CPU: A volume and 2 disks ...?
CF: Roller now has become better, well, not
thebest, doing in chunks, so
more climbs on the disc, although the game
less than 7 minutes, and the previous one - 12 minutes
was, but like the plot is very much
saturated, literally everything is replaced one by one
others, there ...
CPU: What about the graphics, it
there processed, or ...?
CF: At this time I did everything almost 3D-STUDIO, well,
almost everything, everything building all stenochki, many
characters I did in 3D-STUDIO, render, and then down in black
and white ...
CPU: Well, we saw a demo version of 0. 00
semi-finished product, something over
it changed?
CF: Well, I did not let go, just show ...
CPU: Well, she walked over networks, there
movements of units in general there were no,
only airplanes flew, and some
Sprites were generally from the first RAVEN 'a ...
CF: Well, then, yes, they were taken from
first RAVEN 'a, because I was not yet ready ...
CPU: And the demo version will not?
CF: Before the release of the game in general will not ...
Hacker Kris: It would not, of course,
it will break soon, ha, ha, ha ...
CF: By the way, in connection with the hackers, I thought,
well, I do not know, but I decided that it will release a demo
of the game was released at the same time, well, for
promotional purposes there ...
CPU: And what are your plans for the future, after
Output Black Raven 2, withdrawal from the Spectrum scene?
CF: Probably, yes. Well, that is, can
be cloned, well, doing similar
toys ...
CPU: No new engines ...?
CF: New engines I will not do,
too long, and probably now does not pay off ...
CPU: A How about the promise radaktora the first Black
Crow ...?
CF: That's not me doing ...

CF: We know that people could not
unprotect ...
CPU: Sorry, small correction

talking about someone ...? Here you have someone in the journal
will be published?
XL: It's our guys, they still did

CPU: Well, in our magazine, we are now presented, is
already on children from the Ukraine, there can not, in my
opinion, something to edit, but there can be almost
everything is changing, the guys wrote that
full version is almost ready ...
CF: Well, I'm, ie, could not give
sources, because the first is a raven like
the second, well, the description of heroes, I said that I can
not give away the source code to they did the editor on them,
ie they have done, and I think they have something did not work
in St. Petersburg, but these must have happened ...

interview ends. You can still say that the full version
Ukrainian editor is already out, may soon witness the extra
disc with the missions for FT-1. More information - see the
advertisement in this magazine).
