Finished the remaining side quests, as per the assignment.Next time I launch the game I’ll be back on the path of the main quest line. More pics can be found on my Mastodon page.
More Shadowing of the Warriors
Finished almost all the trials, taking a break from the last one. I also managed to finish one of the Heisenberg side missions – basically had to go make some drugs for a couple of cyborgs. I only played for an hour, but it was one intense hour!
Also moving along on the Skyrim ending! Just started animating some more watermelon magic tonight, and a few different camera angles. I’ll be starting on animating the next bit of dialogue tomorrow. Might also continue my ninja adventures tomorrow, also too!
Beautiful Hellscape
Some purdee screenshots from tonight’s demonic stroll in Shadow Warrior 2! Haven’t played since the beginning of June, so I figured why not pay this beautiful hellscape a little visit before I call it a night? I finished my bounty, and knocked off a couple trials before calling it quits. If you want to see a couple other shots I have them up on Mastodon.
Irritating the Thalmor
Fortunately this ending won’t take nearly as long as Airheads in Space did, there’s only about 33 seconds of audio for me to play with. Everything is pretty much placed and ready to go for tomorrow. It’ll be nice to work on something a little more down to earth, or nirn in this case.
Skipping Through The Spikes
For my weekend of decompression I had a nice Mediterranean omelette, blueberry tea and snacks throughout the day, and decided to return to Neon White. It’s been a few months, but I’ve moved to the third chapter, and went back and collected gifts and ace medals. Gained a couple of achievements along the way, learned a new card trick, etc.
I’ve played multiple genres over the years, but have never quite played anything like Neon White. I’m really savoring each session.
Little Kitty, Big City Demo: First Impressions
Little Kitty, Big City is like a mix of Stray meets Untitled Goose Game. You play as a cat… but instead of it being a dramatic story about being a cat in a dystopian world trying to find your way to the outside world, you’re just a cat trying to get back to your apartment and finding shenanigans along the way.
The game opens to our cat based protagonist having a small nap in their window spot. You wake up and inevitably fall to your doom, and end up landing in a trashcan. That’s when the cat adventures truly begin.
Despite being a cat you have a kitty themed to-do list. You’re too hungry to climb back up to your home, but a friendly crow made you an offer of one fish for 25 shinies or “shiny garbage” that the crow has offered to recycle… probably.
In this universe there are humans you can rub up against, or trip and steal their swag at the speed of cat. Last night I stole someone’s cell phone, and today I used bread to attract birbs. Not to eat them, but for the currency of one feather each. Some animals will accept feathers and will give you something in return.
There’s a good chance that I’ll probably buy this on day one, or even pre-order it if the devs can deliver unto me a sacred watermelon hat to find in the game. 😛 The demo was a lot of fun to play, and I’ve already wishlisted the ever loving shit out of it. I’m looking forward to seeing how this comes along!
Getting Ideas Again
Went over some more Skyrim footage tonight, with pleasing results. I’m not sure what I’ll do with it, but I’m getting some good ideas that I can sleep on! There’s a good chance there might even be a little bit of animation mixed in somewhere… 😛 We did some fun improv during the livestream for that one, and it could be fun bringing it to life as its own homegrown cutscene.
I wonder how many months THIS one will take to finish…
Science, Time Travel, and Cats
It’s been mostly work and hardly any play these last couple of days. So I took a break tonight and played a couple of games! Steam Next Fest is currently going again, and I’ve seen some of my Steam friends playing “Little Kitty, Big City” and I figured why not give it a go? It’s similar to Stray, in the sense that you wander around as a cat. But the aesthetics are more cartoony, and you can interact with humans and have conversations with other animals. Looks like we’ll have another cat game to look forward to next year!
I also had a small itch to return to Portal Reloaded, if only to solve one test chamber. It took me awhile to think about it, but I did manage to make it past the 2nd laser puzzle. Next time I play the game I’ll have to see what Test Chamber 15 has in store for me. I want to finish it one of these days to try out the torturous co-op option! 😛
Evening Open Thread
Not much to write. Had a long day, enjoyed some cherry blossom tea after a long shower to wash away the work. I took another trip down memory lane, transformed two hours of footage into a small Skyrim short that will randomly appear sometime in the not too distant future. It’s nice to be able to fit all of my Skyrim footage onto one hard drive, and even better to shed 36 gigs of it tomorrow! That’ll get me closer to just a terabyte of Skyrim footage. 😛
Good Vibe Gaming
Decided to plink away at getting all the special diamonds scattered throughout each level in Sayonara Wild Hearts. It’s one of those things that adds to the replay value, that and the vibin’ beat. I was also vibin’ to Freedom Planet 2 during lunch today. Ever since Saturday all the games I’ve picked to get myself lost in have all had excellent soundtracks, and three out of four of them are indie! 😛
