    Young Mind, wanting to follow in creator's footsteps

    I am currently making a game as a hobby (role: programmer, designer, and writer), so I'll answer based on what I know: As has been stated before, you need to be able to do something. Programming, art, music, etc. something. If you can't do one thing, you can always hire somebody else who can...

    Platinum Games

    He's pretty damn funny and he knows how to throw a great persona out there. I feel like some of his older philosophical ramblings on games can be a biiiit pretentious or silly at times (although, that may be an intentional part of that on-stage persona), but his ideas have definitely born some...

    Yoooooo Mode 7 up in this Absolutely nothing 3d here. No manual animation either. This is all done with sprites and math magic worked on pixel lines. The first background in the video is the raw, base image. All the following are various distortions of it happening in real time...

    Also I made a big laser that distorts time/space And managed to replicate the bendy lasers from Taito's old shmups I'm currently working on recreating the "tubular" pseudo-3d sprite distortion technique used in some of their backgrounds as well. I spoke to someone who worked on Mame emulation...

    Gaming General Discusison

    I know and the website was down last time I checked. Tragic. Now I can't link "Capcoms 12 year old art-director interview" everytime a new sf5 character is unveiled. I'm the opposite. I give no fucks about the online elements and honestly enjoyed Bloodborne/DS3 better without online due to...

    This sounds like a Play4Real article.

    The Darkstalkers/Vampire thread.

    I am told I am pretty solid at Bishamon.

    The Darkstalkers/Vampire thread.

    I don't think you're going to find anyone who knows how to play him decently around here lol. He's pretty weird and low tier. He makes no sense so the best I've seen people do is psyching out opponents with how nonsensical he is. Not an easy time though.

    Fire Emblem

    I'm glad we're getting new Hector memes out of all this

    Ha ha, yeah. I remember Hagane telling me he was going there for feedback on improving the sprite ^_^ When I get to about 3 stages done, I think I'm going to post a job offer there or at pixelhub for a secondary sprite artist. Wanna know how many assets I'll be needing first though.

    So MvC3's coming out on PC...Will People stop playing Skullgirls because of it?

    Beyond even the balance or the horrific mechanics, MVC3's moveset design is complete shit. Too much is too safe, no room for creativity or psyche-gimmicks, garbage rock-paper-scissors is all it is. I can't even watch tournament play anymore because it's the same shit over and over. I still...

    Finished a 26 page world building/character/art reference design doc and sent to the new character artist I'm working with. Looks like we're good to go unless things suddenly fall through like they have in the past knock on wood please don't jinx me oh wheel of fortune. Also forgot to mention...

    Fire Emblem

    You can't really expect that level of artistry from a mobile game. It's rare even for higher budget stuff since 3d models usually tempt them away for cheaper.

    I have zero faith in anything Capcom puts out these days, so Ni-Oh IMO.

    Heroes of the Storm

    True, but they're some of the longest running and most influential franchises in their respective genres (hell, Warcraft was a massive influence on two genres).

    Tekken Thread? Sure, Why Not.

    I thought they removed that after the trailer and just made the busty version an alt costume. IMO her design is cute but IIRC she's low tier with basically nothing. So good to see her come back then I guess. Maybe she can not suck (heheh) this time.

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    No, that's Bloodborne.

    Shovel Knight is out.

    I remember they gave Lucia from Contra a big shoulderpad specifically to keep the height and hitboxes the same according to the character designer.

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    >Chicken wings that are extremely spicy >The Dark Souls of chicken wings Nocturne and Dark Souls together were very influential on my "leave the more cosmic lore up to player interpretation" style preference of video game world-building, though.
