Knightmare VR? I don't like the concept!

WillsOfDoom

It is 'Lord Fear's Domain' I don't have. Drat! and double drat! Oh well, the hunt for the missing KM book begins.

I was foolish enough not to join the adventurer's club.

To be brutally honest, Wills, if I were you I'd only go out of my way to get Lord Fear's Domain if I were a completist. It's quite an infantile book really, with an over-dependence on those irritating arithmetical puzzles that Dave Morris was always so enamoured with. It's also a very different type of book to all the others, as it's really just a puzzle book disguised as a novella.

Snowwie is Emilia, yes!

I can't remember her second name, it ws quite long al that I know is that it starts with a "P" ::)

I have them all except Labyrinths and Lord Fear's Domain. I have the boardgame as well. I always used to look for them when they were advertised at the end of the prog. I used to probably buy one book each year when i went on holiday - W.H. Smith's manchester Airport always had a fine selection. Why did you need to know this?

I don't like the look of knightmare VR. there's no sense of danger for the dungeoneer as they arent real

But then a death could be made gory, which I'd fear. Certainly not children's viewing then though, which I would hope that it's for all ages.

WillsOfDoom

The key thing is to make the viewer care about the dungeoneer, whether they are real or avatar. It is a concern, but Televirtual know what they are doing. If they can create suspense it will work.

I'd like to see a slight step-up in the gore factor. That'd bring in the viewers!

MoanaLiza

Off topic but does the layout of this thread seem strange? I seem to have a problem viewing this thread properly, I don't know if it's a problem with the thread itself. Is anyone else having the same problem with it or and any other thread?

Back to the topic though, are the advisors going to be real or VR? If they are VR are they going to be controlled by contestants?

Malefact

Yes, I'm having this difficulty as well.

I would guess by looking at the TimeGate pilot that the advisors will be real. I certainly hope that will be the case (as with Treguard and the entire antechamber) because it will help distinguish between fantasy and reality.

Illusion

It would appear that this is one of the threads that didn't convert properely when we changed forum. I have no idea why, but thankfully it only seems to have affected a few threads.

keke

yeah i hope they make you care about the dungeoneer. also will he/she change for every team of contestants otheriwse it'd be the same dungeoneer for each team. If they made it gory then i think it would frighten kids but i think thye could make the screen be covered in red like when series 8 team 2 died in the corridor of blades.

MoanaLiza

It would be knice to see a real dungeoneer in the anti-chamber and then a VR dungeoneer during the quest that looks like the real dungeoneer. Or have no real dungeoneer just a VR one that changes each quest. If the dungeoneer is not to be real then there could be number of dungeoneer comuter created and given names, the advisors that are real though. During the series the first team (say out of 8 teams) are shown a name and picture list (of 8 dungeoneers) on the screen and Treguard asks them to pick their dungeoneer. When their quest ends and the next team appear they get the list of the next 7 dungeoneers and so on to the last team who gets the last remaining dungeoneer. Another alternative is for the team not to have a choice of who they get but for them to be shown the list and a computer to choose the dungeoneer for them. After the choice is made the dungeoneer introduces and gives a little bit of information about themself. They then appear in the first area of their quest.

Personally I hope that the dungeoneer is real when the team appear in the anti-chamber, but the other is a thought and idea.

Fidjit

No helmet either which is a real shame... $:-\$

Is Tim Child going to do any more demonstrations for the general joe public to have a try or was the initial demo the only one we will see because with giving it a try or at least have a proper view i will reserve my judgement for the time being untill i see the product. But for the moment im looking forward to Knightmare coming back

Fidjit

I don't have a clue mate...
