Manfred Trenz

Does anyone know how I can get in contact with Manfred Trenz? I think he'd be a great person to interview for Matt Chat.

His company is Denaris Software : http://www.denarisoftware.de/HTML/Denaris1.html

Hm. Do you think he speaks English? Thanks for the email, Cyber. I'll email him today.

Almost 100% sure he does. Have a look on Facebook later too

Excellent choice!

If you keep this up I'll see you doing an interview with Peter Molineux one day

"Yeah Fable 8 has got this fantastic real life simulator and..."

"No Mister Molineux. I want to know how you got into Amiga programming in the first place all those years ago?"

"Amiga? That's a great idea for the next Fable! You can get married and have kids and such! Wait, that sounds vaguely familiar... Oh well, perhaps I should start thinking about giving your pet's pet a pet in Black & White 4."

Sorry to say, Mr. Trenz has declined the interview.

laffer · 11 April 2010, 19:47

That's a real shame

Bronko · 11 April 2010, 19:52

He doesn't want to talk about producing pony games for the DS, I can understand that.

laffer · 11 April 2010, 19:58

Did he give any reason?

mattbarton.exe · 11 April 2010, 20:52

He said he had personal reasons, but it sounds like he's refusing all interviews, not just the one for me. It is a shame, because Turrican just doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves.

Galahad/FLT · 11 April 2010, 22:24

Its probably because of Turrican he doesn't want to do the interview.

As far as i'm aware Turrican was his baby that got taken over by someone else where he can't even continue to make any future Turrican games, and that probably pisses him off royally (to be expected), and for him to do an interview, one of your questions would surely be an enthusiastic

"So when do we get to see a new Turrican game?
"What happened to Thornado?" (Turrican in 3D)

Aw man

I'd even agree to a "no Turrican questions" clause to get some insights from this guy on game development in general

That's indeed a shame

Anyway, thanks for the effort and the "Turrican just doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves" statement Matt

here's an idea: why not try to get an interview with Chris Huelsbeck in stead? Judging from what I've seen so far, he is a lot more forthcoming about his projects, which would include the awesome Turrican music of course

laffer · 12 April 2010, 22:44

Cool idea, the music was what initially drew me in when I first played the Turrican 2 demo.
The game wouldn't be the same without that, not by far.

mattbarton.exe · 12 April 2010, 22:57

Sounds like a plan.

Bloodwych · 12 April 2010, 23:06

Perhaps Great Giana Sisters was a sore point too...

...or Nintendo have him under a gagging order.

plasmatron · 14 April 2010, 15:05

Really a shame

xArtx · 28 August 2013, 14:31

Old thread, but it looks like it could have ended up with THQ.
The site you linked TCD, is also down now.
It does look like he lost control of the game.
That could mean it's ever seen again :O
