If you could release a patch to fix problems or make things better in the Genesis version of NHL 94 what would you do?

Hi Guys, I have made contact and planning to interview Amory Wong the Lead programmer for the SNES version of NHL '94. So once again I'm asking you guys if there is any questions you want me to ask. It my not make the final cut of the film, but at least it mite get into the Special Features on the Bluray/DVD. So what would you like to know? Cheers, Mikey PS; The questions you guys had for Jim Simmons was a huge help to me

The guy who started it all. Jim designed the 1st game in the NHL series for the Sega Genesis. What questions would you ask him?

Indeed, Mikey. I have received this report from the future... US president Donald Trump holds an impromptu summit with all word leaders with the help of holographic Abe Lincoln to determine how to contain Pixelated Heroes pandemonium from causing worldwide hysteria and stampedes. People around the world eagerly wait for the clock to strike 12:00 AM to get their copies of Pixelated Heroes. Everyone at the summit surely feels the tremendous gravity of the situation, and is moved to tears.Suddenly, Kim Jong-un appears on the main-monitor, crying and apologizing profusely for then pain and suffering he has caused. He states that only now, after the release of Pixelated Hero…

Hey Players! Its been a while but I finally have some news about Pixelated Heroes release. A few weeks ago I was approached by a start-up streaming service (in Silicon Valley) about doing an online Aviation News show (much like Philip DeFranco on Youtube). As we were in talks I mentioned Pixelated Heroes and I sent them the screener we have seen in Vegas and they loved it. My original goal was to get PH on a major streaming service and to be honest I have been so busy at work that it fell by the wayside. I burnt myself out getting the film ready for Vegas and needed a break, that's why I have been away from the community. But know I'm reset and ready to start a new…

Hey Guys, Fall Out Games in Arizona has posted a picture online of their new HDMI consoles. This could be a Game Changer. For future tourneys if these turn out to work and are cheap. As we all know collecting and storing CRT’s is a big issue and most new esports spaces are all HD. I’m getting a Gens shipped up to me ASAP for testing. I’m pretty excited. Fall Out Games has been helping me out with the Doc from the very beginning. Their manager Scott D. Has been a huge help in making the doc and providing me with games and consoles for the King of 94 Tournaments. Kof94 1 would have not happened with out Scott’s last minute help getting me all the …

Hey Guys, Well, the film is coming along very good. We are a little bit under budget and a little bit ahead of schedule. The editor and I have spent the last week turning the rough cut into our first Fine cut. That means the film is in a state now where there is nothing really missing and it's in the order we think is the most logical/entertaining. We have some cool animations and "cutaways" that were made by local artists up here and really gives the story a lot of humor. We have 8-bit animation, 3d style diorama sets, and some classic cartoon animation. Also, we have 4 versions of the Sega theme made to put throughout the film (think of the sad ve…

My biggest hobby for the last while has been NHL 94. But, I also play NL Texas Holdem. I want to go to Vegas and play in the NHL 94 tourney, and then hit the poker tables! I have only played live in a couple Niagara Falls casinos before, and have never even been to Vegas. I play online poker in spurts, on Pokerstars. I may go 2 months without playing, then play 5 nights in a row. I am nothing special, and tend to lose, but I enjoy playing. Are there other poker players, or gamblers of any sort, that are going?

Hey Guys, I'm back in the editing suite this month. (had to take Jan/Feb off due to the editors schedule). I'm Just throwing this out there. I have a list of NHL '94 and NHLPA '93 gameplay shots I need for the film. Mostly 5 to 10 seconds of specific in-game events. For an example "Gretzky's head bleeding" and "Glass Breaking" kind of shots. I was hoping someone on the Fourm here could help out. The footage can be dumped with the use of an emulator and in as high resolution as possible. I can provide a shot list and the timeline I will need them by is about 4 weeks. As payment, I can offer you something very very special a signed copy of NHL '94 by Ma…

Check out this live video I did from my Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/MikeyMcBryan/videos/1200376453389849/

Hey Guys, Almost wrapped the 3rd week of editing. We have two bonus days (Mon/Tues). The editor and I have spent most of our time cutting smaller scenes together. Now with only a few small scenes left to go, we have started piecing the movie together. This is what is called the "rough cut" and is a very big step! The flow of the movie so far is a lot more fast paced as I first thought. This is good news because some stuff that is scheduled to possibly be cut may not have to be. There is a few cool twists and turns in how things worked out, which adds some cool story elements. You will defiantly have to watch the movie at least twice to catch all the hidden messages. …

Today I'm writing what is called a paper edit for the film. a Paper edit is basically a handwritten outline for the film that the editor uses to guide himself. It is useful so he/she can work alone and not have someone breathing down their neck. My question is... How interested would you guys be in knowing more about the link between Madden Football and the origin of the NHL series from a designer standpoint. The reason I'm asking this is that 80% of the history of what became NHL '94 is directly linked to Madden. *Also flash forward to today's events, I got an invite to visit the Madden head quarters in Florida (I will be down there for other work in February). It…

While the editor and I just finished our 2nd week of editing. We focused on going through the footage and picking out all the good sound bites and starting to rough cut the major scenes together. I would say we have finished about 80% of the "usable" footage. I'll be working by myself these next two weeks to got through the 10 plus hours of tournament footage, 4.5 hour Mark Lesser interview and 3.5 hour Michael Brook interview. I have the editor and suite booked for a week in December. We are on track to have a rough cut of the movie early in the new year and a fine cut sometime in March . Armed with a fine cut, I can open more doors by being able to show distributors and…

Hey Guys, I just wanted to give you guys a quick update. The postproduction team and I have finished the 1st week of editing (next editing week starts tomorrow). We focused this first week on cutting and piecing the segments with the NHL players. It's a lot funnier than I expected! We also started cutting the interviews with a couple of the programmers. It's going to be tougher than I thought to keep what they are saying interesting but we are working on ideas to keep the story following and also dropping in easter eggs for the hardcore fans. That being said I will have full uncut interviews with the designers in the DVD/Itunes Extras so you guys can hear what they ha…

Hey Guys, Only a couple days left before I head into the editing suite. I wanted to share the few main social media platforms I'm using to help keep people in the loop. Check them out and follow along if you haven't yet! http://www.facebook.com/PixelatedHeroes http://www.instagram.com/pixelatedheroes http://twitter.com/pixelatedheroes I have been pretty low key on the promotion side for the last year. I didn't want to let to much stuff out and lose any chance at media momentum when the time is right. It today's world news only lasts minutes. But I have been toying with the idea of keeping a production vlog on youtube to keep people up to date (spoiler free of course…

Ladies and Gentleman I would like to introduce to you Amory Wong!

what about the Haters of NHL94 like myself? 92 & 93 > 94 why? 92 and 93 HAVE FIGHTING!!!! document that!

Hey guys, I have came up with a plan to get the international NHL '94 players into the movie. I'm hoping to get as many Skype interviews as I can with players outside of Canada and the USA. I'll will record them and use them in the film in a montage/infographic scene to show the game getting played around the world. So my question... How many people can I get? Finland? Sweden? Germany? Italy? Mexico? I will need the forums help to get the world out! If you fit this discerption or have stories of playing NHL '94 outside of Can/US. Please email me at mikeymcbryan@gmail.com It will be epic to have you in the movie!

Hey Guys it looks like I will be filming the Long Island Expo! I made it work that i'll be in the New York area filming the last scene for the movie (not including pick up interviews once I start getting a final edit together). So I sure hope that any forum member is on the fence about going that this mite give them a nudge.
