Some small memorable BL2 moments from last fall!
Trek to Crashing
Ran into my first hard lock with Trek to Yomi. I was navigating through a burning village and then it slowed to a crawl, and eventually solid. I guess this is why it isn’t verified for Steam Deck yet. Oh well… I guess I won’t be finishing this chapter tonight. I did get an achievement for executing 50 successful counters, so at least I have that going for me.
Panzer Dragoon Racing
There was enough me time during lunch today to play a few rounds of Sonic All Stars. Got the C and B Class races taken care of in Panzer Dragoon (Hard Waves). A Class was a pain in the ass, but I did manage to get it tonight on Desktop.
I just happened to win while taking a break from my never ending hunt through endless footage. 😛 It was a nice, small escape for tonight. Now that I’m searching for new content I’ve freed up a little extra game time! 😛 I’ll be pouring over more Borderlands 2 footage tomorrow, only found a small clip for Throwback Thursday tonight, better than nothing I guess! 😛
It Is Done
After over 6 months of toying with it, this video is a done deal! Just need to come up with a thumbnail for the video, but I’m finally done! It’s a load off my chest AND my Hard Drive. Now I’ll have to see what my next visual victim will be! I might troll my hard drives tomorrow to see what the next project will be. Maybe something with slightly less animation? :v I might see if there’s anything good in the Serious Sam Footage Dept.
It’s All Starting To Add Up!
Downloaded the latest version of Shotcut. I figured it would be a good idea before getting too invested in the project. I’m slowly stitching it all together, and feeling all kinds of awesome at the timeline growing larger and larger with all my crazy keyframing all coming together into an act 6 months in the making from audio recorded a few years ago. I have four minutes of animation so far! It’ll be cool to see what the final number will be, not that I expect people to watch every minute of it (or just a few seconds). Those who do though? I hope they enjoy the ride.
Phase 1 Complete!
After half a year of animating this I can FINALLY say I’ve finished! Well, with the SFM portion anyway… Then I can figure out how to use Blender to do deliver some Special FX! Not sure if I’ll have time to try tomorrow, but I should be able to experiment over the weekend if needed. I’m just stoked to finally get to the end! I might have to go into SFM one more time to animate the intro, but that will be easy rendering compared to all the other shit I’ve been working on since the start of the year.
He’s Trying To Shave My Bushido
Another evening, another chapter finished! It’s starting to get a little tougher, but I finished the boss battle and only managed to die a couple times. This time I played on Desktop to enjoy some 4K Goodness. I did notice there is a small Nexus selection of mods for Trek to Yomi, might have to give a couple of them a go. Apparently this game has 3 different endings, so it might give me an excuse to spruce things up for a future replay.
I might have to give Chapter 3 a go tomorrow, might as well while I’m on a roll. I might actually be able to render the last bit of my SFM project tomorrow, and that’ll give me a bit of time to chill and do Samurai things. :v
Trekked Through The First Chapter
Finished the first chapter of Trek to Yomi! I was gifted this samurai sidescroller quite awhile ago, and it handles quite well! It does exercise the internal fans with its good graphics. The combat is pretty straight forward, light stabbing, heavy stabbing, parrying, etc. The game plays like an old Samurai movie, and even features Japanese voice acting! It makes me feel like I’m controlling an old movie, really cool.
