Not much to write about this evening. Long work day, had a lot to do after work, showered, ate, animated a little porn, and now I think I’m ready to pass out. I did play a little DOOM during lunch today. I’ve found if I play something gore-ish people tend to give me my own private space… unless they’re impressed by the graphics or something.
I wonder how the rest of the universe is doing…
I’ve been accomplishing a lot of animation in a surprisingly short time span! I finished a scene today, and another yesterday. I’m looking back at my previous videos and trying to improve my animation, though I try to keep some jankiness to maintain a certain Gmod style I want to improve how fluid my animation is. It has worlds to go before it gets any better, but each time I work on one of these projects I seem to get a rhythm going. In the end the audience is the final judge, but there are still sections where I can tell I’m doing better. when compared to more recent works. I’ll have one more short scene to do tomorrow, and then I’ll have to record audio for the ending. The gameplay ends abruptly, which means that Yutram and I have to finish with something really stupid yet not completely regrettable. Perhaps we should talk about it over a pizza? :v
Picked back up on Deadfall Adventures. If you like games with a mix of action, guns, and puzzles this game has a good mix. You play as James Lee Quatermain, an adventurer that can’t hold onto money to save his life. He helps another adventurer by the name of Jennifer Goodwin to retrieve the Heart Of Atlantis, which is actually scattered into different pieces (like a certain Scion of Atlantis 😛 ) and spread across different countries. This game has everything from adventure, to weapons, to puzzles and LOTS of Nazis to kill. If you ignore the bad voice acting and the occasional bug, it really has been fun to explore.
I’ve made it to the Arctic, and have just made it outside the wasteland. This is pretty much where my adventure ends for now, until I get to pick up this title again at least. I am happy that I made some progress on it though, despite certain bugs getting in the way. Next weekend I have other ideas for game time.
Open Thread!
Konami seems to still be on a kick releasing older titles on GOG, like Silent Hill 4: The Room. I didn’t know there was a Silent Hill game on PC, but then again I wasn’t aware of the first two Metal Gear Solid games having a PC presence either until a few years ago. I heard this particular Silent Hill title is one of the Black Sheep in the series. Still, might have to consider checking it out if only for the lulz.
Managed to get some smoothing done on the latest victim project. I have an earlier morning than usual tomorrow, so I can’t get as much done as I’d like, but I will have a longer evening tomorrow. I played a bit of Okami during lunch, thought it paired nicely with some sushi and blood orange yogurt. Been awhile since I’ve had any sushi so I figured I’d spoil myself a bit. It was a rock n roll… roll. Filled with tempura shrimp, avacado, carrot, cucumber, seaweed of course and cream cheese. I’m thinking of trying a pre-made rice bowl tomorrow, and playing either Skyrim or modded DMC5 depending on the mood. Never did get to play that on Tuesday, something about playing as retarded Kylo Ren is funny.
I didn’t get to play anything today, but I did animate an entire scene this evening. Progress! I’ll have to go back and refine it when I come back around to render it, but all in all I’m happy with it. Nothing that I can really share yet, perhaps after some more refinement. If I have time tomorrow I’ll start preparing the next scene, might be busy doing other things.
I’m here if you need to mouthwords. Open Thread!
Despite the heatwave I managed to have fun today in Okami, grabbed the gaming laptop and played outdoors in fresh air! Something about the aroma of grass, a gentle breeze from the fan and the music and visuals of the game made for a peaceful day and a peaceful weekend overall. I stopped in Kusa Village for now, until I pick it up again anyway. I’m thinking of doing some DMC5 during lunch tomorrow, with mods of course. :v I’ll be jumping back into working in SFM tomorrow night, after finishing some other obligations of course. :v
We had a nice warm summer like day today. No aroma of fire (though the fire situation is still pretty bad). Had a good breakfast, tidied up a bit, did a little shopping, and a little tea and gaming. I’ve played what I could of Bright Memory. Then pretty much played Okami for the rest of the evening, wanted something zen today to counterbalance the suck. I made quite a bit of progress already, it’s amazing how fast you can move when you know where a lot of the stuff actually is.
Hopefully everyone else is having a good weekend, stay safe!
