Knightmare VR Demonstrator [re-post]
-
Wow! I've heard the term 'machinema' before; very lush animation ~ so have had a look into it, and given the feature film 'Anna', it looks like this capability will certainly enhance the potential for the new series.
As for monsters: Well, as far as names for goblins go, when I've behind the bar, the Dutch lager, 'Grolsch' always makes me think of a K.M. goblin. Apart from that, it tastes foul, so something associated with that works a treat in my eyes.
I always thought that the DreadNaught was underused, appearing only in Series 7; the metal, brutal, imposing look always used to terrify me. Also, I'd love to see a large lizard or salamander; I think an animated system would make that look terrific.
I do hope the music keeps a similar theme: if anything, to show that while everything has moved on, this is still, fundamentally, Knightmare. Obviously this could be seen as relatively trivial at this stage.

Sorry to nitpick but the Dreadnought was in series 6.
Did I say S7!?!? So I did. KaM should be shot.
Copyright, maybe ~ but then wouldn't there be minor royalties on reward? Is should be possible to work around it. Anyhow, surely just minor thoughts at this stage(?)
-
Ermm.. here goes,
after me: KaM should not be shot.
But that's unfair sir, because it implies that you would be. Let me serve punishment for getting the simple facts wrong.

On the subject of us suggestion goblin names, have you come to a final decision on (other than monsters) characters, rooms, games, the whole layout yet? If not would you consider using some of our ideas if you liked any of them? Other than Treguard, would you consider bringing back other characters if you hadn't already done so because people want that/those character(s)back? What about knew characters, games, rooms, etc. that people have thought of ideas on, such as an underwater level (which someone thought of). Sorry if this has already been covered.

New pictures, new scenes, new monsters appearing on the development site at Televirtual.
Check them out.
Happy Easter

Cool BVA
I like the wallmonster too, also the texturing that you've done is very clever. KM VR is looking great -
-
BVA, sir, majester (BFG mention there!), i think you should contact the second great one (Barry!) and see if he would be interested in appearing!! (Character or Dungey-Person) As far as a name goes - Tiny's Fear? (Tiny = last hobgoblin, Fear = obvious!) Looking superb, any news on final presentation is?

A few comments on your comments.
There's no decision made about Hugo's contribution as to live action (real) or virtual.
What we are trying to build here is a demonstrator of a production system which can produce Knightmare programmes all over the world. And even Hugo can't be everywhere at once.
So in some cases he could attend in person - in others - he'd be present in-system.
Yes of course let us have ideas as to names of goblins.
And any other ideas you have for new monsters?
The system we have built is also capable of machinema - or machinima as the Americans term it. Google it and you'll get the picture.
best wishes

Personally I think you are trying to go too large-scale with this. Remember how much Knightmare means to us fans, and it is starting to look like Knightmare is being bought back as a small part of a large scale operation. You had a massive success with Knightmare, and its a shame it ever came to an end for no practical reason, however please please don't include such a classic show in one of your 21st century productions. Yes it may well be a success, but if it doesn't stay true in many aspects to the original, why call it Knightmare etc? Its a quick start way to get viewers interested granted, but if you are going to bring back such a classic show, why not at least make it like the original?
I don't mean to be rude here, but why can't you see that we didn't watch Knightmare for its graphics or the leading technology it used, but for the show itself, the suspense, the small things LIKE the dungoneer being blindfolded. Surely without these elements, Knightmare is not Knightmare.

I think you may be looking at this back-to-front, KM_Fan. T'Virtual didn't invent the project and then decide to stamp the Knightmare brand name on it. They decided that as there was so much demand for KM, they should bring it back and then had to look for a way to make it that would be commercially viable in the modern (post-Harry Potter, post-Star Wars Special Edition) era.
