Dear Patrons of a certain tier!

Here's an inside look at how the Worms cutscenes were brought up to date, and the challenges faced. I won't be sharing this on my social media, although it is live on Mat Recardo's channel. Either way, enjoy!

Also, nothing concrete yet, but it looks like I'll be donating the main machine to The National Videogame Museum in the UK. Better still, they're close to Team17, so it's kind of going home...

I'm going to hold some of the memorabilia back though, for a major contest, a part of which will be Patreon exclusive 😊

Finally, I've had long and interesting discussions with the Internet Archive about how to present everything. More soon!

Now I must go; I feel a bit funny... I think Armageddon Worms...

Your friend in retro, Perifractic

Worms Cutscenes - Behind the Scenes

After Perifractic posted a video about finding the original Team 17 Amiga A4000 with Cris Blyth, I really wanted to re-render those worms scenes they found and update them for HD. Perifractic's video can be seen here:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcyHqJ6ZHXs So here's a long, fairly basic but maybe interesting to some look at some of the work involved in getting those worms scenes working, then re-rendered, then updated to HD. This is a single take hour long ramble recorded late last night so setting in with a beverage of choice and if you have any questions, please drop a comment down below.

I live in Sheffield, where the NVM is located and have visited several times. If you would like some pictures and/or video when the machine is safely in its new home, I can probably arrange that. :)

Thanks for sharing that BTS. There was clearly a lot of “model upgrading” that went into getting enough detail for HD. I’m still impressed the 20 year old project/models open in modern software! Ewen PS: sounds a very promising potential recipient of the archive.

I've got to credit NewTek for keeping the compatibility. Pretty incredible. Also they've been super friendly about the idea of me sharing their software for free!
