<p>(PS-PS: Btw, inkább a kiadónak kellett volna kikapnia, nem a szerzőnek, aki csak promotálni próbálja saját munkáját.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>A következőket egy meg nem nevezett blog egy &#8211; egy hamarosan megjelenő regény borítóját beharangozó &#8211; postjára reagálva írtam. Mivel enyhén negatív hangvételű az írásom, itt <strong><em>(névtelenítve)</em></strong> adom közre, mert alapvetően pozitív szándék vezérel, csak a helyzeten, bizonyos döntéseken fanyalgok kissé.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>(X festő)</strong> zseniális, csakúgy, mint a linkelt festmények. Ugyanakkor &#8211; bár kiadói szempontok miatt érthető és megérthető lépés -, szerintem nem a legjobb megoldás ezen képek bármelyikének használata. Miért? Mert a vásárlók egy részének a fejében már ránézésre az „újrafelhasználtság” gondolatát fűzik a kötethez.</p>
<p>Ezek a képek, mivel egy igen híres <strong>(számítógépes XY)</strong> játékhoz &#8211; a <strong>(híres játékkal)</strong> összességében sikertelenül, de azért elismerendő eredményeket felmutatva rivalizálni próbáló<strong> <em>(másik játékhoz)</em></strong> &#8211; készültek, mint concept art, igen közismertek a neten: jó eséllyel mindenki látta már őket, aki érdeklődik a számítógépes játékok világa iránt. A játékok világával foglalkozó offline és netes magazinok vélhetőleg már 200<strong>(x)</strong> környékén lehozták őket, a concept art iránt komolyabban érdeklődők (oké, ez már jóval szűkebb réteg, ellenben a magazinok közönségével) pedig azóta is láthatják őket, pl. az általad linkelt galériákban. A te hazai olvasóid &#8211; az sf/f iránt érdeklődő, a számítógépek világában vélhetőleg otthonosan mozgó fiatalok (vélhetőleg főleg fiúk) &#8211; is elég valószínű, hogy találkoztak már velük, többször is.* És, mivel nagyon jó képek (és sok van belőlük, egységes stílusban), emlékezni fognak rájuk, ha máshogy nem, tudat alatt. Megjelenik a „volt már” gondolata &#8211; ami szerintem nagyon nem jó egy regénynek. Egy ilyen borító egy másik terméket, világot idéz, hamis elvárásokat, ideákat állít fel, amiket a regény nem tud, nem fog és nem is akar teljesíteni, hozni, ergo jóval nagyobb esélyt ad az olvasói csalódásra.** Persze, nem olyan erős a dolog, mintha mondjuk Darth Vader portréját raknátok ki a borítóra&#8230; de ugyanaz az irány.</p>
<p>Mint a hozzászólásom elején jeleztem, egyértelmű, hogy egy már kész, bizonyított kép használata igen előnyös lehet a kiadó szempontjából időt és pénzt illetően, sőt, a szerzőnek tetszhet is nagyon &#8211; de a regénynek szerintem nem tesz jót. Sőt, inkább árt*** neki &#8211; pedig a regények megérdemelnék, hogy egy egyedi, gondosan és direkt nekik készített kép reklámozza őket, nyújtson bepillantást a világukba. Persze, ez rizikó &#8211; az egyedi képet is el lehet rontani, durván, ráadásul idő és pénz, mire elkészülnek, bizonytalan eredménnyel. De azért szerencsére vannak olyan alkotók idehaza, akik eddigi munkáik alapján vélhetőleg meg tudnának birkózni a feladattal. Például <a href="http://vassrichard.hu/munkaim.php">Vass Richárd</a> vagy <a href="http://tikosblog.blogspot.com">Tikos Péter</a> valószínűleg kiváló <strong>(és odaillő)</strong> megoldást tudott volna szállítani nektek, szerintem.</p>
<p>Mindezek mellett természetesen drukkolok a regénynek és neked &#8211; csak sajnálom, hogy maga a kiadó állítja elétek az első akadályt a sikerhez vezető pályán.</p>
<p>g.</p>
<p>* E képek a <strong>(játék)</strong> egy végül ki nem adott kiegészítőjéhez készültek, ergo megjelentek kb. akkor, amikor komolyabban beharangozták a játékot, aztán még párszor, kísérőképként, amikor a fejlesztés előrehaladtáról jöttek hírek, majd végül akkor, amikor kiderült, hogy ugrott a projekt.</p>
<p>**Ld. még <a href="http://www.tor.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=blog&amp;id=58167">ezt a cikket</a> (főleg a végét.)</p>
<p>*** Így lesz az artworkből árt-work. -.- :]</p></blockquote>

<blockquote>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">&gt;&gt; (&#8230;) and it pinpoints one my biggest problems with the movie, namely &#8220;That is, stuff happens because it&#8217;s supposed to happen, not because anybody makes any choices.&#8221; (&#8230;)</p>
<p>strange, but i don&#8217;t really have a problem with that &#8211; not in this context. whether there&#8217;s free will is an ages old debate, and the series could be seen as an illustration of that, humans desperately fighting for the free will idea against a mechanistic (!), deterministic world personalized by skynet. (heh, skynet, the DEterminator&#8230;)</p>
<p>in other stories taking away the choices from the characters is a highly risky, boredom and frustration inducing approach, but here it somehow seems to fit. maybe it&#8217;s about sarah connor being wrong all the way: there&#8217;s fate, and just fate &#8211; you&#8217;re just a cog in the great machine and nothing you ever do can go against the machine. everything&#8217;s happening according to plan, even the mistakes and the apparently random events. you may fool yourself into believing otherwise&#8230; but even that&#8217;s how it should be.</p>
<p>quite bleak, it is &#8211; yet you can view the terminator series from this pov too.</p>
<p>were i the writer / designer of the series i&#8217;d play on this in the sequels to come (if there&#8217;s gonna be any.) i&#8217;d reveal that skynet made its &#8220;mistakes&#8221; on purpose (not killing john and kyle -&gt; skynet knows that without kyle traveling back in time its own existence would not be possible and so on), that skynet was established by a future human / demihuman / ai / et intelligence or government capable of time travel for its own purposes etc. (it would be quite amazing to see an official terminator &#8211; matrix mashup too, where the time-travel thing could be solved blatantly easily.)</p>
<p>okay, i&#8217;ll stop rambling, sorry. :)</p></blockquote>
