Jordan Mechner

In other words, taking pictures of things and then turning them into digitized graphics, a collection of pixels, and still have something that vaguely looks like the original thing you took a picture of.

Didn't Jordan Mechner already do that with the Apple II? Well, that was rotoscoping.

That's a little different from digitization.

It had been done.

A little bit, you know, with the mysticism and supernatural stuff, you know, Big Trouble Little China, especially with Shang Tsung, and, you know, a martial arts kind of tournament.

Of course, they want to use digitized graphics, which means that they are going to have to have people that actually act out all of these moves.

And it's a little different from Jordan Mechner and Prince of Persia, because that was rotoscoping.

So he had his brother and other people run around acting out various moves, and then he painted over them the computer graphics.

It's not a game that that comes to mind for a lot of people these days, even though.

Jordan Mechner is an iconic game developer in his own right.

It's just it's incredible to have those points of connective tissue between yourself and loved ones and then yourself and, you know, future loved ones or future friends who have also played the same thing.

with Liberty from Jordan Mechner and Etienne Leroux from Oni Magnetic Press.

I left because I was in the same computer science class with Jordan Mechner, who was making Prince of Persia, and I was not that good, so, um-

[laughs] Jordan Mechner also a contributor to the Kaleidoscope actually.

Yeah, he's also-

Yes
