I mean, I'd have replied if I knew it was a thing. He should have gone on a social board.

Edit; oh he showed up

I played it but didn't get very far because the controls were difficult. I know that was the point but it was still hard.

I actually read a lot about it in Nintendo Power. They were really pushing it, had big articles and a guide iirc.

I used to board hunt but then I got lazy and stuff, but even I wouldn't show up to a Lester the Unlikely board. Something about that game seemed unappealing to me. I know AVGN did a review about it but heck I don't even remember that being memorable.

Also I read that too fast, cool that that developer/user actually showed up here. Neato! Reminds me when that guy who worked on Secret of Evermore (itsbillsfault) used to post on the game board a lot and that was freaking awesome.

That is great this thread had a happy ending. I didn't expect the Game Developer to post here since that user hadnt logged in for two weeks at the time I made the thread. So thought they were long gone to Reddit or somewhere else.

Dead is relative. I made a post in some topics or made a topic and it will get responses for games that can be several years old. But yeah hit up a Commodore 64 board for the laughs or some random nes or snes board and ppl won't find that anymore likely.

Wow, there's a Lester meme (sort of). Maybe the boy was ahead of his time... I recall that last pic was fun to draw for then-24yo me, at least.

I deleted the original post because it seems now that the actual sorta-AMA is happening in two other places (?) or something.

Glad to contribute. As for the first post, I had forgotten I'd posted it but now that there's some people asking questions it's kinda cool :)

As for questions - Yeah, Another World was a big influence. We wanted that smoothness of frame rate and motion realism. We didn't really get there with the limited frames we finally went with but it was kind of evocative. Other inspiration included Prince of Persia - and Karateka, re: the motion smoothness. I was a big fan of Dan Gorlin back in the day. He interviewed at Mindscape when I was there but none of my fellow artists knew who he was.

Did I play the game - back then, yeah. We had to beta test our own stuff back then. Honestly, I didn't enjoy playing it because I thought that on top of being difficult the collision and the dynamics of how Lester interacted with stuff was frustrating, especially at first. We had cheat codes - I think they're still out there if you look around.

Just wanted to echo the sentiments here. It is refreshing (and unusual) to have someone from the industry back in the day doing a pseudo-AMA on CE.

A decent majority of the folks left here are pretty fond of, and grew up during, the 8- and 16- but eras of gaming. I believe my experience with Lester the Unlikely came from playing it on my Super Wild Card DX back in the day. I do remember it being a very nice game to look at, but had issues with the controls and such.

So @billzilla what would be your top 5 video game OSTs of all time?

My most fav OST is Nier:Automata. Final Fantasy XI has a special spot in my heart. Stardew Valley is also a favorite. WoW soundtracks also are pretty cool, esp. WotLK and BC.

Maybe you can answer some questions about the lore of lester the unlikely.

What are Lester's preferred pronouns?

What is Lester's blood type?

What is Lester's greatest fear?

Lester's opinions on Juggalos?

Favorite car?

Thank you for your time

The truth is, I have never really used this site so have zero idea what board is dead or what to post where. Maybe I was drunk... LOL. I recall getting a notification of someone messaging me about another game I worked on and that made me think of the AMA.

My heart is warmed thinking that I fit in, tho.
That might have been me. I was genuinely curious. It's such a surreal experience to get a AMA with developers from the 90s and such. It's a fascinating part of history and idk I love hearing about the inner workings of the industry.

I forget exactly how the name of Lester came about. It was probably chosen by the prez/owner of the company at the time, he had his hands in most of the stuff we made back then.

Feels like I'm 84 sometimes. It's weird thinking back of those days because at the time it felt so new and amazing, now it's 'old history'. We had all the major consoles including a Neo Geo system and used to play Samurai Shodown and other games to get pointers on good pixel art (and to goof off).
