Is there a time when you knew you had done it? When the magic all came together? When you knew you were going to blow the socks off everyone?

Thanks, that's a nice question to answer ;-)

I saw the magic appearing on my screen when I played the first Beta build, three months before the end. Till then, I was playing each scenes "professionnally", to check fixes and look for improvements. I took a version with me at night for one more fix review. I started playing it at 11pm, I though just for half an hour. I played all night and totally forget bugs and fixes. I just played it and enjoyed it, like if it was someone else's game.

What really pleased me the most was how the characters were alive, how they became real, how I cared for them, and also how I wanted to know what would happen next.

I am quite a pessimistic guy, I was pretty sure that very few people would see this magic. It is quite subtle, very far from explosions and living deads. It was pure emotion.

I don't know if I have blown anyone's socks, but I also know that some people totally missed that part and just judged Fahrenheit as another video game. Fahrenheit is NOT a video game. In my mind, it is really something else.

Oh you have. It was a good thing the game wasn't longer than it was, because I was seriously running out of socks when I played it.
