HOMER SIMPSON IN RUSSIA
Author's abstract.
Asked me here to tell what ...
1 How it all began?
It began long ago, four years ago. I bought the board
stump 128 and snyuhalsya with advanced spekovskoy youth. Young
people, this is mostly to sit back and loved to speculate at
length about his great purpose and high performance opening
after loading assembly ...
A couple of years, when the youth has matured,
arguments were quite robust, the people became
a lot, and it was decided to create a landmark decision
group. All the more so when it was fashionable. And now
I am an ardent individualist, forced to confess that I also was
in that group ... Moreover, the stupid name (Dark Souls Corp) I
thought, too, after sitting week with a pocket dictionary.
Merry were the days I tell you ... Well, I digress.
As soon as the DSC has been established, we began to
frantically search for greetings to us in the new software ...
But nobody regards us to pass in no hurry. Then someone of us
put forward the hypothesis (then seem to us monstrous, and
subsequently confirmed) that the In order to receive the
coveted gritingsy, it is necessary write something. The author
of this brilliant idea is now no longer remember, but it does
not matter ... Existed for about six months DSC quietly died,
and not firing a single program with your logo ...
2 And what happened?
And then everyone started to do the same -
nothing.
Then one day, sitting on the bench for reasoning, DP said
he wanted to write a game. I vividly was with him to ponder the
idea ... And once he said that I will not write anything (he
did not believe in never possibility of co-writing), but then
all the dirty work had to do to me ...
Initially the project was called 'Son of a lawyer'
and had to be a trilogy about the adventures of
One politician, however, this venerable
son of his motherland was myself, in my view, lead
unsuitable, and I changed the name to Homer Simpson ...
Once I broke away from the draft DP, to
I was joined by Vlad, with him we had
a few days in the calculation of memory card size
etc. ..
3 Draft 'Homer Simpson' gaining momentum
The events took place in early 1998
year, by June the game was ready in draft form. All the
graphics drawing DP, about the music reached an agreement with
VS ... In June I was on holiday at the basic work done demo.
Made for a miserable time - day and threw in an echo ...
However, the same day in the demo found a nasty bug ... I have
here the same was written by very short Fixer, and I waited
reports of glitches. However, people are resigned to fate,
and none of this glitch did not tell me. Thus,
Fixer remained unclaimed, but now simply have lost relevance in
light of the full release version ...
4 Why there is a delay on the issue?
Around the middle of summer, I realized that I had made
zhelalaemogo, and interest in building began to fall. However,
after returning from Fantopa, with new forces attacked the AMU,
and just about everything for the month of November was ready
...
Delays were also at other times. For example,
There was a period when Vladovsky computer is stable,
as the soul of an alcoholic in the morning, broke down. During
the June heat in 1998 my own Pentagon has worked fine for only
the first half hour ... Had uhischryatsya with the fans,
pausing in their work. A mail will be downloaded in the seven
to fifteen hits. And, despite everything, came one day in
autumn ...
5 exciting time ...
... Throwing the game in an echo zx.spectrum, I was very
nervous. However, the initial response (loud applause) showed a
stunning success. Next you know yourself ...
6 And it all?
None. Bathed in glory, I started a project of the second
part. Most were taken and recycled from the first, much has
been written from scratch, much removed completely ... To date,
the script described by 100%, most of the graphics are already
there, it remains to arrange the music (already agreed), voice,
riveted menu final Kuta, etc. ..
7 For that I dislike the DR?
I really do not like when someone has something to
foaming at the mouth and makes no promises, referring to
'external causes': employment, broken computer, weather on Mars
... And he somehow! - Cry curious reader. No, dear reader,
you're wrong. I never promised that something will be done, why
not call even the approximate time the game was released, and
all honest warned that the project could be abandoned at any
time ...
8 Problem 81%
Yes, the game image do such a logical hole ...
If you choose a slightly different sequence
action than I can be hard to sit down ...
The computer will ask one thing, but actually it
you first need to execute another action.
One day sitting at home, enjoying the idleness,
the bell rang and a loud voice asked me.
Since I have been at any point can cause at
work, I inwardly shudder ... It turned out that rang from
Krasnodar (the other end of Russia) player stumbled on this
very same 81% ...
After (in about a month) call someone
of, if not mistaken, Novosibirsk with the question of
Sprinter ... Then I felt Winnie the Pooh, going to the Donkey's
birthday, and the phrase became the all-time crack up ... empty
pot ... damn you ... Sprinter. After listening to my monologue,
on the other end said goodbye and hung up.
Thus, my phone, hastily left in the game, cool someone
help ...
9 And why did no cmos?
Also my fault. The idea is that if there are hours in a
computer under the scheme Gluck (mine), when taking clock on
the screen should go real time. Well, if not hours - no cmos.
It so happens that the uninstaller hours were determined, and
the game driver did not look back, and the result installer
simply does not reached the driver ...
10 What will be the new Homer?
A lot of things. But will he Gomer2 - it's just not yet
known ... Applied to the time factor in the game, a scripting
language that controls the game introduced operator of chance;
new kick-ass graphics and I hope the beautiful sound ...
By the way, with the release of Homer a discrepancy arose
- in the game do not share it with the ultimate goal (to find
the recipe home brew), so that those who have not seen demo
version, at first perplexed ...
So, the goal of the game 'Homer Simpson II and again
in Russia '- run the nuclear power plant ... I warn you right
away! :)

11 Why Homer became frivaroy?
The reasons are many. Home - not up to commercial
software. Although recently started selling a lot of worse
things written by ... Also question: how to split the profits -
a total of venerated a lot of people, and lives in general
muzaker Ukraine ...
I really do not want to engage in extortion and begging
(like: please send $ 1 and then get the full version) ... I
plead for the broadest spread the word of my products, but this
is only possible if the soft quality and is not protected ...
Will frivaroy Homer 2? - I do not know. Until
I see no reason to sell it. So read
fidoshnye conference and will be informed of my affairs ...
12 And why Homer Simpson became a hero u
algebra?
Our local TV station, relaying RenTV. Blame them. Seeing
this gorgeous day animated series, I fell in love with him so
he tried not to miss a single series, and even all the series
recorded by Vidic ... Unfortunately, for some their own
reasons, now is not the Simpsons to Ivanovo broadcast, so I'm
very satisfied with the old Records ...
13 To the question about who is what it's like.
Yes. Initially, very annoyed that compared Homer Paradise
Lost. But now I think we can put the question differently:
Paradise Lost, perhaps, someday, perhaps, would be similar to
Homer ... But this is unlikely, see p.7.
After the release of Homer 1, I received an offer
complete the project Paradise Lost ... However, a number of
reasons, but also because of poor circulation-mail question
about it and has not been resolved. So, I have a strong as
bonds Savings Bank of Pakistan reason to consider the draft
Paradise Lost forever abandoned.
