Thread: Friday with Means - July 24th, 2009 - Pink Eye, Airplanes and Nightclubs

  1. #1

    Funcom employee Friday with Means - July 24th, 2009 - Pink Eye, Airplanes and Nightclubs

    The simplest plans can always be destroyed in an instant. This morning my youngest son's eyes were glued shut with some kind of green goo. My wife was not amused by how "sci-fi cool" I thought it was. I was not amused by the fact that our doctor and just about every other one in Norway was on vacation...three hospitals later and 3 hours later we had a prescription, some eyedrops and a plan....and only 2 hours to get my wife and son to the airport to make it to their flight to Stockholm to visit our new little niece (new daughter of past Lead Designer for AO Johan Karlsson (Tenga) aka "Belith").

    She made the flight...but I sure as hell didn't make it to work.

    I had hoped to make it through some more of the questions from last week and share some sneak-preview screenies of the new nightclub. The questions will have to wait awhile (Though I will try to get to some more of them this weekend) but the screenshots are ready.

    Again, I am always amazed a what the artists manage to produce. I give them a very very basic idea and they impress the hell out of me every time. I'm very excited about our first real social type content in a long, long time.

    Here are some quick shots of the new (as yet un-named) nightclub aboard sunrise station. It will be opening at a large in-game event some time in the next month.

    Note: Any suggestions on names for the nightclub would be appreciated...I'm sure win can find a prize if we use someone's suggestion.

    Is there any chance that neutral organisations could have helped develop such items, in a similar way that RuR has in the passed researched neutral token boards
    only to have the research stolen by Cyborgs and completed, turning it into a useable item.
    Or would it be possible for new org related stuff to be added like the Ai social clothes?


    Also great job on all of the game, we in Third Faction are looking forward to all your future work.

    The "Get ready to rumble" guy sued us but good on that one...hard to forget that one. He has tradmarked all "fight related use of the word rumble". We won't be having anything "rumble related" any time ever again.

    I guess you didn't get your prize? You should PM me about that one. I'm certain 4 years is long enough for us to be able to finally fix that one.

    as for the night club name, Smokers Lounge would be nice (as well as something special for members/associates).

    This is probably a stupid name, but as soon as I saw the pictures I thought the place should be called...

    Leet's Retreat

    Because it's SOOO LEET!!

    Of course I'm serious! Why are you all looking at me like that?

    After looking at the design on the ceiling, why does it look like a stylized image of Flying Spaghetti Monster? Are we being subconsciously being enticed to convert to FSM Worship?

    Club looks good, as for a name how about "Nova"

    Could always go with a cheesy name like, "Orbitz Lounge." (Yes I know it's misspelled, call it Art-Deco)

    Another choice could be "Serenity" would fit well since it is above all the chaos of Rubi-Ka.
    Well they messed with the wrong skull this time, Ha ha!!!
