Dungeon Master Forum

Dear dungeon masters, i had an opportunity to interview Bert Huntsinger (alias Bert Huml) recently. He is the guy responsible for majority of the levels in Dungeon Master 2 (and many other things). I was motivated by the fact that there is not much info about DM2 development available since everyone is always obsessed by the DM1. Tune in for the 2.5hr long interview: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1QobJb ... pJji_YjL-w

Also on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFRuPg8isNU

Great! Link added here: http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/100

Oh cool, will have to check that out at some point .

The "Frankenstein" CG animation mentioned in the interview that got Bert Huntsinger hired at FTL Games in 1991 is visible here:

The interview is now available on YouTube too at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFRuPg8isNU

That was great ! thank you for this interview g4ndy ! Though, it seems to be quite a long time ago to remember all these things about DM2 (For one, half-step move was already added before Interplay version).
Thanks Christophe for adding the link for video; were you already aware of this tape beforehand ?

Not at all, g4ndy sent me the link on Friday after posting the interview on Spotify

I missed some words; just to be sure, I was talking about the link for amiga videos.

Ah! No prior knowledge. Actually I just searched 'amiga world animation' on YouTube and found it quite easily.

This was a really interesting insight, thanks for undertaking this interview. I especially liked the anecdote about Robin Williams going to the FTL offices to pick up a copy of DM when most of them were out at lunch!

Now g4ndy has also interviewed Kirk Baker!
Check it at http://dmweb.free.fr/ftl-games/intervie ... arch-2026/

Nice! I tried getting in touch with Kirk decades ago but the email address Doug gave me never worked, always bounced back. Good to see this info even if it's not very positive about DM2...

Yeah.. DM2 arrived too late on the market.

Any progress on sharing your own interviews?

Nothing imminent, life pulls me in other directions for now.
