I got the Deadpool mod running! I also experimented with replacing different characters with different mods, despite most of the mods being aimed at replacing Kiryu or Majima.
The Eggman model is supposed to replace Kiryu, but for the hell of it I decided to try replacing Kuze with it. He didn’t show up as Eggman in every scene though, which means I missed some alternate models. I’ll have to experiment with that some more.
By the time I get this modded up the way I like it, it should make for a real nightmare inducing story! A nightmare inducing story that will look amazing on a 65″ 4K TV!
I guess I just couldn’t wait for the weekend to start tinkering mods. One minute I was telling my friends about what I’ve been reading up on Yakuza modding, and the next I’m privately streaming a test to my friends that inevitably turns into endless laughing (Seriously, the karaoke part fucking killed me). I also have a fun model for Majima… but so far I can’t seem to get it to load. I’ll have to experiment with the files and see if I can get it to work, or at least have fun breaking these games in the process.
My original plan was to continue my animation, but I guess that can wait for another day or two. Instead, please enjoy this lovely piece of modded nightmare fuel.
To celebrate completing a render tonight I decided to treat myself to a bit of Yakuza 0! I’ve made it to Chapter 3, but I’m thinking of starting over again to try and find some sidequests I missed, and I didn’t really do much with the minigames. It would give me an excuse to give it the full 4K experience! 😛
Animation on the next Broforce video is underway! I’m thinking I might even be able to finish the intro within the week! I still need to hammer out the details for the ending, but I should have at least one video up next month, two if I’m lucky; The second one is looking more involved than the first.
I brought up Broforce at work recently, no one has ever heard of it… not big surprise! Most of the recent indies I’ve played are pretty unknown outside PC. They know nothing about AER: Memories Of Old, they barely know about the Shadow Warrior games, but they do at least know about The Amnesia Series, except for Machine For Pigs… which I had to make them aware of.
I’ve been binge drinking decaf white raspberry chocolate tea all evening, enjoying every warming droplet all the way down to the last bit. I mixed a cherry pistachio puerh for work and wanted something to counteract the caffeine. It tastes good with or without milk and sugar! I’ve been guzzling it without, cuz hydration.
We had some nice weather today. It would have been perfect for trying my boba tea giftset! But by the time it would have cooled down and have been ready to drink it would have been later enough in the day to keep me awake. I’ll have to see if I can predict the weather in advance and do a preemptive brew for the next day. On the bright side I have been cleaning out a good chunk of my tea collection, which is good because I have a few new teas on the way! Along with some specialty cocoas since the cold snaps still haven’t been letting up, especially at night.
I’ve decided to shift my video making focus on Broforce. Having gone over the footage a few more times I’ve knocked it down to about ten minutes, and that could net me at least two videos. Staging it will be easy for the most part, since I still had the stage built from the previous Broforce video:
I’ve already changed what I needed on the character models, and exported the audio for the animated bits. I’m planning an opening and a closing scene, and I’m not sure how long those will take, but my goal would be to have at least one of these videos ready by next month. Tomorrow I’ll get started on moving some bodies around!
Meanwhile…
I even made a little time today to play Yakuza 0! One of my co-worker buds reminded me that I still need to finish it, lol. He came back to work recently after being out with an injury for a couple months, and I guess he had time to finally finish it. I didn’t do much tonight, other than treat some homeless people to a round of drinks in exchange for information, and up’d my skills as a master brawler! Now I’ll have a small status update when I talk to him again at work! That, and a mentioning or two of the other games I played yesterday. I wonder if he’s ever played any of the Call Of Juarez series…
I recently picked up Call of Juarez: Gunslinger as a freebie on Steam, and decided on a whim to try out a bit of it tonight. It’s a typical First Person Shooter with a perk system and leveling up that takes place in the old west, really digging it so far. I remember when it first released that it looked intriguing, but seeing Ubisoft in the title didn’t make it a top priority purchase for me, that and the large list of games already keeping me busy. But time has favoured those of us who pay close attention to locating free games, and tonight it was good fun making up for lost time on a title that went unplayed until now. I’m three levels in, and a level 5 redneck! I’ll have to play this a bit more, but I might have to check out the rest of the series if I keep pushing through it!
I was in a more chill mood for gaming, as opposed to the last couple weeks of fun violence and dick jokes. Not only did I beat the game, but I 100%’d the shit out of it! Got all of the achievements, and even gave a friend a little tour of the game via a private stream. AER: Memories Of Old might not have much to do other than exploring, but it’s beautiful and calming enough to get away with it.
If you’re looking for a game to just chill and explore in, this is a beautiful game to do just that. You can spend hours flying from island to island, and uncovering a story that’s almost as fragmented as the world itself. My only complaint is the lack of replay value, now that I’ve fully finished the game that means I’ll actually be able to uninstall it! Rarely does a game achieve that status on my computers. 😛
I wanted to do a little bit of Shadow Warrior 2 tonight, but my dizzy spells had other plans for me. On the bright side, editing Broforce footage doesn’t cause me to induce any vomiting! I edited down almost three hours of footage into a little under 14 minutes! It can only get shorter from here! I think I’ll take a break from it over the weekend though. It’s supposed to rain for the next day or two, time to hibernate a little, and maybe play a game if my stomach allows me to.
I’ve been ending my evenings with a little bit of spa treatment from Birthday season. Mainly the triple pack of gel mask for a nicely toned face, even if it’s mine. 😛 I’ve tried all 3 in the set (Rose, Cucumber, Gold) and they all make me feel refreshed after a shower. COVID has been spiking around here lately, so it’s nice to feel as fresh as possible. I still have managed to avoid it, while some people I know had to go out from it. Fortunately they’re vaxxed. Their 5G beams helped them return to work faster!
I’m also kicking back and enjoying some raspberry lemonade chamomile tea. I’m feeling a little under the weather, and chamomiles usually help increase the chill factor., even when warm.
I don’t have much planned for the weekend. If I’m not feeling motion sick I’ll probably play a game… maybe go through my closet and throw away some stuff. I was going to do it last weekend, but I just felt really tired, especially on the first day off. There was a lot of muscle action, and my body needed to recover… and Shadow Warrior 2 was really addicting too. I might play more of that tomorrow if the dizzy spells go away.
