Went much better than my previous interview. Alex has a lot of very thought provoking stuff to say about game design, art in general, his philosophy, etc. Also, it seems that Noctis V might not be dead after all. He's getting back into programming, and possibly becoming more active on his forums.

so...umm...nobody?

EDIT: I don't care if nobody comments, it's just that he has a lot of very cool stuff to say, and I think people would be interested.

I have read the interview and I really enjoy it. But there's not much that I can add to it except that this is pretty great interview.

It makes me wanna to play Noctis but I'm not sure if it can run on Vista. It looks to be very remarkable game.

It might run through DosBox. There are also a few fan-made ports / improved versions (Noctis Plus and N.I.C.E). Check around the forums, if you're interested.

Here's a few links I found:

A great interview with a great and truly unique man! Those of you who have yet to play Noctis really need to do so. Those who have played it, needs to play it again. Easily one of the most memorable games of the last decade, in my opinion. Few games of the recent era as had as great an impact on my imagination.

I see he mentions the internal archives, though technically that has been mentained by Neuzd for the past few couple of years, probably just an oversight though. I also see he does not mention the Ardent! It's.... Probably for the better. For now. It is quite the thing though! :-D

I'm going to show my ignorance - I'd never heard of him or Noctis before, but the game sounds very neat - so thanks for illuminating me!

Good interview!

Awesome!
