 "text": "E brief\nEllen a duna mi tres ingrediente. Promé: kada skritorio na Thinc Ahead tin un Nerf gun... i nan ta wòrdu usa! Segundo: Esther, e ko-doño, ta riba vakashon, dus e team a laga traha un Esther di karton di tamaño real. E ta aparesé unda bo menos ta spera! Tersero: e edifisio mes, un edifisio di baksteen den sentro di Eindhoven ku kuater piso, un trapi spiral i un porta di kluis kolor kora misteriosa den e sótano.\nE idea a skirbi su mes. Niels i mi ta mas of menos mes edat, tur dos nos a biba e tempu di Doom i Duke Nukem 3D. Dus: un first person shooter den nan mes kantor, ku foam dart, pa te ku dòshi hugadó. Ku bot, pa e kantor nunka ta bashi. Ku Esther di karton ta sali rondó di e rumbo. Damanan i señornan, esaki ta Thinc Ahead 3D.\nLoke Ellen a rekohé\nEllen a kana pa e edifisio ku su telefòn. E a bin bèk ku 65 potrèt, nòmber pa kamber, e kuater plano di piso ku medida den milimeter, potrèt di e Nerf blasters riba e piso di palu, i e file di print di e Esther di karton. E potrèt di e team i e logo a bin for di nan propio website.\nDi milimeter te ku un mapa\nKu un tiki eksperensia ku retro game, mi a kambia e material di fuente lihé pa arte 3D manera si e ta 1996. Un resolushon interno abou ku ta wòrdu agrandá ku pixel duru, tekstura di 64 pa 64, ningun lus, ningun sombra. E estilo ei ta e plan pa velosidat tambe: mi tabata ke ku tur hende por wega, for di un smartphone mas bieu te ku e Mac poderoso di kantor.\nE planonan di piso a bira un mapa den meter real, agrandá mas of menos un i mei bes, pasobra 450 meter kuadrá ta strèk pa dòshi hende kore ku velosidat di Doom. Ku agente di AI mi a test e gameplay outomátiko, ku test ku ta verifiká ku kada lugá den e edifisio por wòrdu alkansá. For di e sótano te ku e dak, huntu ku e skondrijnan den e toilèt i e garashi.\nEllen ta revisá e kantor\nMi a mustra Ellen un grabashon di pantaya. Su kontesta tabata un frase: riba e promé piso e muraya kora i e muraya ku e hugadónan di rugby ta pertenesé na e otro banda. E tabatin rason, i no so aya. (E sempre tin rason, pa sierto, ma esei ta un otro historia.) Ku un par di iterashon e gráfiko a bira mihó i mas eksakto. Kiko ta robes di e kámara, kiko ta drechi di dje, kiko ta patras di dje? For di e momentu ei un kamber ta haña su orientashon for di minimo dos potrèt promé ku algu ta bai riba muraya. E mural nan mes ta potrèt di Ellen: drechá, redusí pa pixel i kologá unda nan ta pertenesé.\nE hendenan\nDòshi kolega, dòshi lugá. Nan potrèt a bira kara di 48 pixel den 24 kolor, manera e kara den e barra di status di Doom. Esun di bo ta wak rondó, ta sorprendé i ta wak peor ora bo energia ta baha. E kurpanan ta blòk den e kolornan ku hende ta usa den nan potrèt, i tur hende a haña su propio kabes: un kabes pela ku un anel gris, un pet, kabei kiriu, un koda, un barba.\nEsther no por wòrdu skohé. E ta e karton. Su standee ta kortá for di e file di print real, plat manera un tabla, ku un pia ku ta pleka, i e ta sali serka di e rumbo unda bo ta. Dal dje ta balor tres punto, esun di oro diés. Riba e kaha e ta paré banda di Niels komo ko-aktor: komo e mes, den karton.\nTin un anunsiadó, manera na Unreal Tournament, ma ta un kantor. Sinku den fila ta PROMOTIE! Diés ta MEDEWERKER VAN DE MAAND! Ken ku kita bo streak ta ONTSLAGEN! I si bo dal e gato di kantor: NIET VOOR DE POES! E gato ta bon, e ta foam. E bos a wòrdu generá un biaha i e ta bin ku e game komo file di audio chikí.\nE kantor tin un pantaya di narrowcasting, un trofeo di e aniversariante mes. Ellen a manda un screenshot dje. Kada pantaya den e game awor ta mustra e ranking na bibu den e mesun layout, inkluso e aniversarionan real ku ta bin! Narrowcasting den e game! Nos ta hasi un sirkulo kompleto, hendenan!\nE outonan afó ta e outonan di e team, pa modelo i kolor. I si, tin un kanon di foam ultra masivo, eksagerá, ku seis tubo, i ora bo apunta dje riba un outo parkiá muchu tempu, e outo ta prende kandela! E anunsiadó tin un frase pa esei tambe: DAT WORDT FIETSEN!!!\nKeysies i Touchies\nKu un first person shooter, _kon e ta sinti_ ta hopi importante. E kontrolnan, e velosidat, e apuntamentu. Super importante pa haña korekto, pasobra si e ta wega mal e gosa ta bai den ningun tempu.\nEsei ta tuma hopi iterashon. Na prinsipio e botnan tabata muchu bon i mi no tabata por dal nan. Awor un bot ta kai ku un solo dal di un hende, miéntras un bot mester sinku dal pa tumba un hende. Asina nos ta mantené mínimo un tiki di e sintimentu di ta e patrón riba AI i bot! Hugadó ku keyboard i un mouse konvenshonal tin un modelo di interakshon diferente ku esnan ku un pantaya di touch. Mi a wega tur dos manera hopi, loke a trese diferente simplifikashon i aselerashon. Ora bo kuminsá e game bo ta haña un instrukshon kòrta riba kua tekla òf parti di e pantaya di touch ta hasi kiko.\nNa bibu\nE game ta wegabel awor, na bibu riba su propio adrès: thincahead-3d.dsd164.com, via e mesun stack di cloud ku Protect Your Eggs: un server chikí den mi homelab, tras di e cloud. E ta kore den e browser riba un laptop, un tablet òf un telefòn. Skohe bo kolega faborito i primi PLAY!\nKonklushon\nKi tempu pa ta bibu. Un first person shooter 3D multiplayer kross-plataforma awor ta un regalo ku bo por haña pa bo aniversario, traha riba midí for di un kantor real ku kolega real! Lokura! No hopi tempu pasá bo lo a mester un presupuesto di miyones pa esaki. I maske e presupuesto di miyones ainda ta bon risibí (ha!), e kosto di e tipo di teknologia aki ta baha kla. Mi ta kere ku atenshon humano pa detaye ta keda nesesario: e ta hasi e diferensia entre un gimmick dibertido i algu di bèrdat kool.",
