Amelia Novie Scandal
Indonesian model Novie Amelia mowed down seven people with her car. But the interesting part is she was only wearing her underwear while driving, and she was later pictured semi-naked at police station handcuffed lying on a air mattress. Novie Amelia probably not as popular now but five years ago she graced the cover POPULAR Magazine scantily clad wearing a sexy bikini. Her most recent shoot was in a Jail cell scantily clad in only her lingerie. The Jakarta Globe report: Novi Amelia, who hit seven people while driving intoxicated in nothing but her underwear in Hayam Wuruk, West Jakarta, apologized to the public on Wednesday. �To all Indonesian people: I, Novi Amelia, deeply apologize for the accident that happened on Thursday [Oct. 11],� she told journalists at Bhayangkara Said Sukanto police hospital. Wearing a long sleeve red shirt with black stripes, Novi said that she was sorry for her deviant behavior and driving half-naked. �I know I drove the car recklessly and went out without...
Drooling dogs and weird boys for Snowball Earth
When I revealed our cancelled project Snowball Earth from 2008 in my blogpost earlier this week, I said that one of the problems that publishers had with the game and that kept them from wanting to fund it, was that the main characters were robots. Apparently it is difficult to reach a large audience with robots, and the fantastic Wall-E is a rare exception to that rule. Although we had a clear vision for the game ourselves, we did not ignore this critique, and our art team (Martijn Thieme, Ralph Rademakers, Olivier Thijssen and Gijs Hermans) started making new concept art for the main characters. This was made after the main prototype was already finished, and was intended purely to show to publishers how the game could change to fit their marketing department's requirements better. Especially the dogs came out pretty hilarious. They were replaced with real dogs, but those still needed to be able to roll around. Our artists came up with a (for the dogs) quite dizzying solution......
The history of Snowball Earth - now playable!
Today we release the complete playable prototype of our cancelled game Snowball Earth! This is the game that we worked on at Ronimo for a full year before we made Swords & Soldiers . Since Snowball Earth was never finished, we never really talked about it either and kept the prototype hidden. Such a waste! The prototype contains over an hour of gameplay and some really cool ideas, so it is awesome to finally show it to the world! Snowball Earth is a really interesting game, both in how it failed and in the things it did well, so it provides tons of material for future blogposts. Today: what it is, and why it was cancelled! To play Snowball Earth, you have to download it through Torrent. If you don't have a Torrent client, you can for example use the free Bittorrent . Download: Snowball Earth Prototype Torrent Note that because this is an early prototype, this is all pretty unpolished! No tutorial, ridiculously long loading times, quite a few bugs and it only plays well with an...
