If I ever die and the Discworld version of Death specifically isn’t there I’m coming back
The Discworld Adventures for PC
I learned about the “Discworld” universe over a Videogame magazine called “Bravo Screenfun”. I read in one of the issues about the second Discworld Adventure with Rincewind the sorcerer, the worst wizard who ever lived. I later read the walkthrough of that game named “Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!?” in the another issue of “Bravo Screenfun”, reading about the weird adventures of Rincewind and how he was able to solve many riddles and overcame obstacles. I played the two Discworld games with Rincewind and played “Discworld Noir” too.
Those games made me interested in the books. It was surprising how different the books were. I figured out over time that the games took several of the Discworld Characters and plots and sprinkled them anywhere into the narrative and the gameplay. The first game was a adaption of “Guards! Guards!” and has elements from “Moving pictures” with Rincewind being the main protagonist and not the Vimes, Carrot and Co. Rincewind has to find a summoned dragon and stop that dragon from destroying Ankh-Morpork.
The second one is a adaption of “Reaper Man” AND “Moving Picutres” in which Death decides to stop working and going on vacation because his job is stressing him out and he doesn’t feel appreciated.
“Discworld Noir” on the other hand was about the private detective Lewton, ex-member of the watch. It was like a Noir-Movie, very atmospheric and grim, yet still a parody of the noir-genre at the same time. No pre-existent book-plot was used but many of the characters from the books were.
Because of those games I started to read the books. It was surprising how different the game interpretations of those characters were. Especially of Havelock Vetinari who ordered a hit on Death for becoming too popular. A rather absurd action of the Patrician when considering how he acts otherwise.
Those games I love so much guided me to the books I love so much.
Thank you Terry Pratchett, thank you for those games and your books. Nothing is like them; nothing I know is like them and will ever be.
R.I.P.
Дочитал "Цвет Волшебства" и сел за рисование. Персонаж уж слишком похож на Ринсвинда, но это не он(всё таки в моей голове он несколько помоложе).
Прикрепляю два фото ибо на втором красиво падает свет ✨
