KNIGHTMARE VR
-
I see that the avatar Treguard has been put to good use as a series 1-3-style in-Dungeon appearance.
I like the tunnels, too. They seem to be a combination of the series 3 and 6 tunnels.
May I be very insensitive? I strongly believe that a Life Force clock is needed. Concerns have been raised in the past that the clock, when run continuously, would expire in about a minute, when it's supposed to last several. I agree that there is a lack of linearity. However, energy expenditure isn't linear - hence it's appropriate that the clock should only move during times of stress. This is entirely appropriate since the sight of a diminishing clock adds to the tension.
Thanks very much for the prize. I think it's extremely generous.

From the clips I've seen this looks really fantastic, the sound effects are more knightmarish than ever!
The great thing about knightmare was the problem solving aspect (and just about everything else of course ), and it does make kids think (certainly made me think) much more than other shows directed toward children might.
As for the viewing of this pilot footage I'm not really swayed one way or the other, I'm lucky enough to have a dvd player and internet access for downloading.

Only if you just look at kids shows, though (ignoring documentary style things, naturally). I mean, I still say I learnt more physics from Star Trek than from school, and I studied physics up to A2 level, so...

Am I doing something wrong? I'm not getting a download but a page with loads of strange characters. Maybe it's because I'm browsing in Netscape, but I can't see why it'd make much difference but I'll try with Avant.
Edit: With Avant it is working but I'm getting the clip (on WMP) very very slowly, where it's showing about one or two seconds, then buffering then another one or two seconds and so on. So far to watch the clip it has taken me about ten minutes or so and it's still not finished yet. I know my it's a problem my end because the I viewed the other clips with no problems it's just that I reformatted my computer recently and have not installed everything. Maybe it'll play quicker if I download it.

Ogre Part 2 has been added
EDIT: Any chance of seeing what the death sequence will be like. I'm just curious to see if it will resemble the original style (with an "Ooo Nasty" comment).

See what you miss when you go on holiday!
The music and the tunnel sequence was very jazzy but Treguard sounded different. As for the Ogre - would I be correct in thinking that is bva?
Would love to see the pilot - does this include differtent footage or is it just all of the clips we can access strung together?
-
Another clip entitled 'Puzzle Room' has been added to site. Also an 'Intro' clip has been added.
Some other clips (Lord Fear) have been removed I think
-
Seems the combination was Lissard backwards - inspired by one of our number methinks.
Has bva given a name to the character in the intro?
-
Additional 'Outro' clip added to Televirtual

These are fantastic. Many thanks! The spyglass sequences in particular bring back such a reminsicence of the original Knightmare: who could ever forget the legendary combination of Lord F and Lissard? The new graphical layout is also very well textured, and it's great to see that a lot of time and effort has been spent to create the right ambience. We can only hope that the pilot goes down well with the right parties.
I think one of the encouraging things was that even though the clips demonstrate the gameplay with younger children, it's a good sign that despite the seeming ability to see, the advisor would still have a very active role ~ and so with many concerns over the differences that the absence of blindfold provides, it is reassuring that the balance of roles doesn't appear to have changed, not allowing the dungeoneer to take near sole-responsibility of him/herself. Time will tell, but it's splendid to see it all slotting together.

New "Clue Room" clip added, it includes part of the Lord Fear sequence.
Knice.
-
So we have spying orbs/seeing stones now instead of spy glasses . . .
At least there won't be any cries of "put it down"
The ending to the outtro clip is quite spooky too.

I don't think Mr. Child and the team at Televirtual need the likes of me for inspiration - still, nice thought! I wouldn't mind having it confirmed one way or the other... thanks for any extra info!
All the clips are worth walking. I particularly like the tunnel sequence just before the Ogre encounter. Slightly less laborious than a Series 3 dwarf tunnel! The music is fun; it reminds me of the original recording of Venus. Good to see, in the Clue Room clip, that the advisor is enjoying herself!
-
Causeway clip added to Televirtual. Blimey just a few updates this week.
I see that many of the basic clips are being replaced and put into longer sequences. I assume that this clip replaces the Despair and Ellisandre clips.

Whilst we ponder how best to distribute you with copies of the pilot, we are now replacing some of the early assembly content with sections of the fully dubbed version.
Unfortunately it's proving quite tricky to get the lighting levels right in the AVI codecs, so some of our early attempts may be a bit dark.
Lookout for improved versions which will probably be indicated by an _bright notation.

Like this newest clip - the musci at the start me reminds me of "Through the Dragon's Eye" which was a "Look and Read" story with Kinghtmarish undertones.
