I think the written questions are in ep2, so they are probably not ignored

Oh there's a second interview with Ivan coming up? That's great.

[Cannon Fodder 0]

One thing that really impressed me about this interview (and I listened to all of it) was the fact that Ivan has approached the series with much the same enthusiasm that I did when I first encountered it. Like so many of us, Flashpoint blew his mind - it is plain to hear in how he speaks about it. Having a man who recognises, and still speaks fondly, of the aspects of the original game that he so enjoyed in charge of the (true) sequel is a very reassuring factor when considering the prospects of this game. To be honest, the snippet about the carrier merited tuning in all by itself!

This was a fantastic interview and I applaud all those involved in its production - very professional, very interesting. Who knew lead designers could have a sense of humour?

I sound like I have a cock up my nose.

But still, really cool, answers! Big plus for Buchta taking the time to answer all of this.

@Opteryx

yep.. all the forum questions are in part 2. and yours is answered as well.

@MehMan   lol... its not that bad.. i think some of it was the compression codec we used.. we'll mess with it in the next show.

@Cannon Fodder.. thanks

Although Kingsley & me sound like we're in some pipe, Ivan's voice is better to listen to. it costs less energy to listen to him.

I added the Hammergut version as a download from our website.

See firstpost for the download link

Raptor, can you thank Hammergut for his work on this audio?

[Raptor 10]

Ofcause.

Nice interview, cant wait for part 2. i do hope you asked some "audio of arma questions"  

Shame about the terrain issue and not having option to create ditches etc.

One thing I find funny is Loki ... you always sound as if you may or may not be bothered to ask anything, or are on the verge of saying ... "to hell with this people ... I need a drink"  

Don't take that personal my friend its just you sound much like my boss at work, he a great guy but always sounds like he might jack it all in, in a heartbeat.

[DrBobcat 0]

Ugh. I sounded so young and my vocabulary was quite out of place. Oh well. He gave a honest answer to my question, at least!

Thank you for the interview!

@mrcash2009

lol... so funny and not far from the truth... the drink that is...

@drB

it is a shame about the movable turrets on fixed wing aircraft though...

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Cool interview. Part #2 should be even better. I've only been listening for 10 minutes, and I"m quite happy already (although lack o' physics on house destruction is a little bit disappointing, but ah well).

- Game logic powered civvie creation, if I heard correctly? Cool bananas.

Am I mistaken or did someone say there will be a transcription of

the interview (text form)?

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Nah, you heard right, apparently there will be a text format released at some stage.

[sparks50 0]

Thats good, because im having a hard time understanding Ivan over the poor mic sometimes.

[wamingo 1]

Loved the interview, too bad about the audio though.

Keep it up

I wonder if you can only land vertically on that carrier.

[loki 1]

got good news.. and got bad news....

bad... doubt the transcript is coming anytime soon...

good.. we are re-recording the interview. a million thanks to Ivan for being such a good guy!

[sniper pilot 36]

Nice, hope it wont be too much trouble...

[Maddmatt 1]

Just a tip to make voices more audible.. turn down bass and treble. You can use an equalizer such as the on in Winamp to do that. Basically turn up the middle frequencies and lower the ones on either side. Make sure any other equalizers are turned off.

Originally I had my equalizer set to 'rock' which made Ivan's voice very hard to hear..

Anyway it was an interesting interview, looking forward to the next one

[jerryhopper 286]

i want to confirm Lord Kingsley's statement, we ARE re-recording the show!

[.kju 3244]

Great effort to jerryhopper, Loki and Ivan!

Well a short testing session at the start of the interview to

see how the audio quality is, sounds like a good idea.

In addition Ivan should have several mics available.

[loki 1]

it is done.. and it is good.

from a personal point of view.. i am more and more impressed with BiS and its staff everyday. have no doubt... ArmA 2 will be good.

[Brendon 0]

Hopefully a written version is available soon!

[sparks50 0]

thanks a lot for the rerecording, will be waiting for it!

Brendon: I doubt there will be a written edition now that its rerecorded, unless you do it yourself of course.
