My mind is drawing up blanks tonight. I knocked out a little more animation, and fondled my Steam Deck for awhile. Drank some spicy pepper chai, it had a good kick to it. Work went ok, can’t complain.
Open Thread!
Jazzing It Up
Finished the 2nd Episode of Jazz Jackrabbit! Now I’ve moved onto Episode 3: Rabbit’s Revenge. Loving the soundtrack in each episode so far.
Booty Calls and Gold!
Just had time for one Crash 4 level, which feels more like two levels in one tbh. I’m still getting used to double jumping, rail sliding and some of the other game mechanics. It introduces a fun little challenge!
My Gothic Weekend Comes To A Close
Played more BloodRayne 2 in between Desktop and Steam Deck today, it was just too nice to do all my gaming indoors. I destroyed the Shroud Tower, and I sacrificed a bunch of vampires to a sacred helicopter.
I’ve ground away at it enough that I’ll probably visit some other games before returning to it – most likely something silly, and possibly modded. 😛
Moar Goffik Adventurez
Made quite a bit of progress in BloodRayne 2! This game is as fun as it is buggy. Managed to get some fun film as well for a potential future video!
Girls Night Out in Crash 4!
Figured out how to get mods to work! Modding newer unreal engine games is surprisingly easy when the game allows for it. I decided to make it a Girls Night Out! I’ll be transferring a small collection I’m accumulating over to my Steam Deck, and maybe the TV.
Friday Evening Open Thread
Keeping it chill tonight. I got a little more animating done, despite feeling a bit under the weather. Been feeling a little dizzy on and off throughout the day. My body has been telling me to climb into bed – think I might finally grant it that wish.
Open Thread!
Meanwhile… Aboard Our Humble Starship
I’m thinking I might be able to wrap up animation on this in a few more weeks! Once I’m done with the SFM portion I’ll be moving onto Phase 2: Compiling the video. This might also be an opportune time for me to start looking into Blender for its compositor features. It’s become more of an all in one production tool over the last couple of years, no longer exclusive to just 3D modeling.
I got my miles out of After Effects CS6, but now that I’m more involved in 4K production it’s time to move onto newer software. I’m not going with the newer Adobe shit; Over the last few years I’ve been successful in getting rid of Adobe products from my everyday life. Photoshop has been replaced with Krita, Premiere has been replaced with Shotcut, Audition has been replaced with Audacity, and now it’s time to find a worthy After Effects replacement.
Oh Fuck They Gave Me Lasers…
Made it to Test Chamber 14! I solved one chamber during lunch today on Steam Deck, and another at home! I’m learning about lasers and time, and it’s frying my brains into smoky bacon! Speaking of, if I don’t do the sleep thing soon I’ll wake up to thoroughly smoked bacon brains tomorrow….
Another Day, Another 12th Test Chamber
Wandering around inside of an imaginary brain made me think that it’s been awhile since I’ve properly teased my brain. I managed to complete a test chamber tonight! Now I have a whole new chamber to ponder over!
I might try this again tomorrow – mayhaps a little sleep will give me time to think about it. It’d be cool if I could solve this in my sleep.
