Some questions...

[Isak]

Hi, I have some questions I've been wondering about
How come you choose to make Undercover (pc version) in 3rd person style?
Which movies/games/books did you get inspiration from when creating the game?

[Georg_Sproing]

Hi,

as we wanted to make a typical adventure, 3rd person was the perfect solution (personally, I don't like adventures with direct controls (cursor keys).

Most inspiration we got from war movies (Saving Private Ryan, Der Untergang, Enemy at the Gate) and old black and white espionage movies (The third man,...)

[Isak]

Cool. I have to say I look forward to this one, even though I usually don't like "war" games. However, this is adventure. Good luck with the game, and I'm definitley going to check out the DS game!

[Georg_Sproing]

Cool, thanks - one copy sold, only a few thousands to go...

[Isak]

Haha. Do you know when the game will be released in UK/Sweden?
I love this picture:

Hello, my questions:

-You had chosen very familiar subject for an FPS game , but not for an adventure. How did you chose to make a game with a WW2 storyline?
-The gameplay will be linear or our decisions will be relevant about ending the game by an other way?
-Do you plan to release it in english language?

[Georg_Sproing]

Isak :

this game was only released in Germany and Austria, as the humor relies heavily on wordplay and the (actual) comedians involved, sorry... :-[

Rowie :

When we thought about doing an adventure we wanted to use a setting which hasn't been overused - it's true that nobody wants to play WW2 FPS anymore, but WW2 adventures are not that widely spread. And yep, there will be an English version

[Isak]

Ah right that was another game? I thought it was a Easter Egg or something from Undercover
So I change my question a little:
When will Undercover be released in UK/Sweden?

[Georg_Sproing]

I guess the DS game will also be released in April 2007.

[Rowie]

Hmm, I heard about that Star Treck comedy adventure before. But I thought that the development was stopped.

[Isak]

Georg: Thanks, do you know when the PC version will be released with English voices?

[Georg_Sproing]

Rowie :

development stopped? ha! (T)Raumschiff Surprise was on the 2nd place in the German charts, directly after Doom 3. Although there were not many games out that month ;D

Isak :

Honestly, I have no idea... but we finished the English language version two weeks ago, so there you go...

[Isak]

Oh right, sounds good then, I guess I'll hang on to Adventure Gamers Q1 2007 then

[Georg_Sproing]

Maybe you'll find an answer on the dtp website...

Yes, Undercover will be released in Q1/2007 in English. I can't tell you the exact date yet, but you won't have to wait much longer!

Make that two if you can put me at ease about the blowgun thing (see other thread).
