JEFF K- Okey, first of
all, Who are yuo and what do yuo do?!?
Kenn Hoekstra- My name is
Kenn Hoekstra and I'm the Project Administrator for Raven Software...
JEFF K- Yuou adminstar
projects? How do you do that?
JEFF K- Like give them
needles?
JEFF K- Hot soup?
JEFF K- Bagels?
Kenn Hoekstra- It's a difficult
process and kids, don't try this at home...
JEFF K - What decided
to yuo too make soldar of fortune? Where yuo at teh gas station and saw
maagzazines and says yuo wants to make a game about magazine s but couldant
make "Bettar Homes and Gardans" into a good gaem and so yuo made Soldar
of Fortune???
Kenn Hoekstra - Um...not exactly.
We wanted to make an action game that took place in the real world with
real situations, enemies, weapons and environments. Activision suggested
getting the SoF license and we ran with it.
JEFF K - AND "Bettar
Homes and Gardans" was taken right?!?!?
Kenn Hoekstra - Yeah.
JEFF K - BY monolith probaly
JEFF K - yuo haev real
guns in Soladar of Fortune but then yuo gets teh goofy Micorwave gun
and shots teh ligtning at dentists in Hong Kong. Why did yuo include
that? my friend Jerry sausys its teh best guns evar, but he si stupid
sometimes.

DONT
SHOOTS ME PLEAS KENN HORKSTRA, I WILL NOT MAEK FUN OF TEH STUPID
MICORWAVE GUN ANYMORE
|
Kenn Hoekstra - Well, we wanted
to throw in a high tech weapon or two to show the player that "The Shop"
wasn't a Mickey Mouse operation. We read about a prototype MPG in the
Jane's weapon guide so we took creative license with it.
JEFF K - Who 's Jane?
Kenn Hoekstra - Jane is our
little invisible friend... She writes war stuff books.
JEFF K - Duke shot tstrippars.
NO STRIPPARS IN SOLDAR OF FORTUNE, just guys in a meat factory
Kenn Hoekstra - John was too
busy clearing out the Subway to enjoy the rest of New York... =)
JEFF K - Duke has sunglasses.
John Mullareds has a silley hat. WINNAR? DUKE NUKAM.!
JEFF K - Yuo have limited
save game numbars in solardar of Fortune, how come yuo did that instead
of PICKING UP MAGIC GAME COINS that let yuo save? that si a vary good
idea, yuo could use them in phone booths , Daiatanaka has magic game
saves tokens too use!!!
JEFF K - Magic save coins
= good idea,
Kenn Hoekstra - Actually,
you can give yourself unlimited saves in the custom options menu. The
Shop must have been all out of magic coins that day...
JEFF K - Yes, I know
that! I HAX0RED THE DLL FILE AND SAW THAT, THANK YUO VARY MUCH SIR!!
Kenn Hoekstra - Um...you're
welcome.
JEFF K - there si lots
of blood in yuor game, do yuo worrey leutennant Kernal Grossman will
talks about yuor gaem on TV and cry when he playas it?
JEFF K - Grossman Says
"DONT PLAY GAMES WITH GUNS - PLAY GAMES WITH CLOWNS AND LOVE"
Kenn Hoekstra - I think we've
done our part to stay out of the good Colonel's line of fire. The parental
lock options and low violence version of the game should answer most of
his concerns. What's wrong with Clowns and Love?
JEFF K - clowns ar vary
bad!!. didant you see "Killar Clowns from Outar Space????" They had
Popcorn gun, maybe yuo can use that In "SOldar of Fortune 2: John
Gets Jiggy Wid It". Bettar than a goofey Microwave gun!!!
Kenn Hoekstra - Actually,
I have seen that movie... A Klassic, if I do say so myself...
JEFF K - shots popcorn
at terorsists at Arbys
Kenn Hoekstra - Heh...I'll
pass your Arby's idea by Activision and the team leads. Maybe I'm going
out on a limb here, but I think they'll love it!
JEFF K - I WANT CREDIT
and money
JEFF K - $60,000
JEFF K - and i watnt
box to say "JEFF K.'S SOLDAR OF FORTUNE 2"
Kenn Hoekstra - I'll have
to talk to George Rose, Activision's lawyer about that. He handles the
contract stuff...
Kenn Hoekstra - Well...the
contracts that John Mullins doesn't handle, anyway...
JEFF K - Hahaha, "Rose"!!!
I could beat him in Quaek!!!
JEFF K - Why did yuo
chose to use teh Daykatana engine instead of Lithtach 6.3?
Kenn Hoekstra - Quake II was
the best option for us at the time since we just finished using for Heretic
II when we started SoF...
JEFF K - heretic 22 had
teh elf right?
Kenn Hoekstra - Yep. Corvus...
JEFF K - "OH NO, MY PEOPLE
ARE DRIVAN CRAZY WITH LUST"
JEFF K - save them, elfy!
go and pick up magic books
Kenn Hoekstra - That's the
one.
