20 Years of System Shock

[674254cacd73dKolya]

Do we have an opportunity to ask questions to the developers on next Sunday? Sorry if this a stupid question, but I didn't have enough time to read about everything that happened during the last few weeks

I would suggest to pose your questions in the Mahk's Q&A here and don't be too shy to add that you're the guy who single handedly implemented mouselook in SS1. 
Even if Mahk doesn't use mouselook in the stream for old time's sake, he's playing the executable you also hacked higher resolutions and key binds into.

Wow, I'm obviously late, but it's really nice to know that there will be another gaming session with the developers. I couldn't watch it live, only on youtube (some parts of the first streaming and a few seconds from the second streaming). I couldn't image that the developers themselves knew about this community. I even shared the news about these gaming sessions on facebook, but most of my friends don't know about System Shock and didn't care about it ha ha.

Oh hey, it's Malba!

I asked over in the other thread a while ago, but maybe you didn't see it -- what happened to the source code release you were planning four years ago?

Plus he praised the mouselook several times as a genius adition to System Shock.

Hey, valet, any ETA on the second video? I need my fix.

it's on the final rendering phase. 10 hours left. I expect the file of around 45 gigabytes, which will be uploaded on youtube and processed by the service.

The main problem is stability of Sony Vegas. It's the second systemshock video, and every time it starts from attempt to render the whole project as is, which crashes after several hours. After that I split the project to 1-hour parts and render them to lossless video (with no audio), 100+ gigabytes per hour. It's just in case if some part won't work well, I'll have to re-render only that particular hour, and not the whole video.

After that I combine all these lossless files and convert to h.264, with sound. It takes one day and night, and in most cases works without errors.

There's a deadline besides this project, which I expect to finish tomorrow. Cannot work when the pc is busy, but it's a good chance to clean up the mess in the house.

Hey, valet, any ETA on the second video? I need my fix.

The stream has already been uploaded to Mahk's youtube, and I posted the chat logs a few pages ago, so if you're ok opening them side by side you can use that in the meantime.

[674254cace647Marvin]

Thanks, both of you. Yeah, I wanted to wait for Valet's version but I guess it won't be finished until Sunday.

Hi guys.  I'm not feeling well so I'm going to have to cancel for tomorrow.  We'll try to pick it up later in October.

[674254cacebcdMarvin]

Oh.

Well, take care, hope to hear from your guys soon!

[674254caceca8Kolya]

Get well soon!

[674254cacef34Judicator]

Take some medi and a stamup.

[674254cacf17bunn_atropos]

Not feeling that well today, too. So its nice that the stream is shifted to a later time.
Nevertheless: Get well soon!

[674254cacf614voodoo47]

[674254cacf6e5straylight]

Darn, I was looking forward to this.

[674254cacf7adjannovak]

Hi, still nothing? :-(

[674254cacf8abgammadragon]

I just came across this recently, so I missed the live Twitch streams but I watched Valet2's upload with twitch chat.

I really hope that Mark, Austin, Tim, Dorian, Sean and the other ex-LGers who joined chat (Dan, Art, Mike to name a few) continue with this to the end of the game, and through the other LG games too.

[674254cacf97fMarvin]

I asked myself the same thing. mahk, I really hope you can find the time to continue!

[674254cacfa7cKolya]

Or at least confirm that you're alive.
