CASTLEVANIA CIRCLE OF THE MOON - Bestiary www.deviantart.com/vgcartograph...
GTA5 plotting is done finally! total damage is like ~600 route PNGs for all the games mission by mission to animate in a video with the flowcharts. it will either be an interesting little GTA overview or the longest most boring video ever. san andreas for comparison. not touching GTA online
working on some mission infographics for GTA series discussion video. categorized each one by emphasis (big shootouts? lowly thuggery? driving someone around? applying driving skills for other goals?) and overall the games are fairly balanced. kinda falls apart w/ newer ones as missions get complex.
sometimes i make the intro bit of a video really early, to motivate and amuse myself. (they often get copyright struck) in this case I didn't quite get there. but here was my extremely niche LIES OF P x WILD KRATTS remix intro that still makes me smile
LIES OF P - KRAT, as far as I got. abandoning this project for now. I told myself I was gonna focus on youtube this year and I've only managed 3 measly videos in 7 months and nothing meaningful in the works. need to focus somehow. if i post some WIPs where my fire's burned out, i can set them free.
TRIPLE TRIAD house rules i've come up with so far and some other details. having fun just playing against the computer so far, next step is i wanna add a ton of different cards with all the PS1 assets i have laying around.
taking triple triad to the next level with the card sets i made last year 😈 making up some new rules and such. will put this on github io once i come up with some weird stuff
super mario land 3 - WARIO LAND kitchen island, colorized 🗺️
MORTAL KOMBAT 1, 2023. another reboot, gorgeous graphics and some of the best stages i've seen in fighting games (not that i did them justice here). but DLC3 was kancelled, presumably MK is due for another installment next year or so? we'll see what happens. (13/13)
MORTAL KOMBAT 11, 2019. looks great, plays well, not a fan of all the guest characters becoming a thing. (12/13)
MORTAL KOMBAT X, 2015. this era feels like MK's second golden age to me after the arcade days, solid games and some memorable tournament moments. (11/13)
MORTAL KOMBAT, 2011. aww yeah, back in business baby. these character models are so good. the animation continues to be an adventure. (10/13)
MORTAL KOMBAT vs DC UNIVERSE, 2008. the suits say this is officially MK8. i don't buy it. this probably also led to Injustice which i know little about. (9/13)
MORTAL KOMBAT ARMAGEDDON, 2006. we are approaching MUGEN levels of character select here. also the character select screen arrangement made me laugh because it is striated like, DUDES. CHICKS. FREAKS. (8/13)
MORTAL KOMBAT DECEPTION, 2004. where I checked out for a while, another batch of initially forgettable newcomers. (7/13)
MORTAL KOMBAT DEADLY ALLIANCE, 2002. the first PS2 entry. they were still figuring things out... had an adventure mode with third person bits i kind of liked. (6/13)
MORTAL KOMBAT 4, 1997. not as beloved or super fun. some lame newcomers. models are charming though. (5/13)
MORTAL KOMBAT 3, 1995 (+UMK3, MKT). tons of characters, lots of rizz, still somewhat popular. (4/13)
MORTAL KOMBAT II, 1993. this is the ur MK i think, with most of the roster people seem to think of. (3/13)
MORTAL KOMBAT, 1992. rough all around but with some promise. (2/13)
randomly been on a MORTAL KOMBAT kick (ha) after watching the new movies. hadn't played much of the series after MK3, so it was fun seeing how it evolved. now i've got it out of my system, here is a thread of the 12 main* game rosters (*and DC). see them here: drive.google.com/drive/folder... (1/13)
ff7 was sort of the basic option, i started off with some of the more extreme PS1 content that they are too scared to even remake
if you hold up, you can scroll through 5 years of my game maps in under 60 seconds! or consider stopping to look at some of them and getting all thoughtful about it. www.deviantart.com/vgcartograph... or drive.google.com/drive/folder...
bluesky can't handle a 1000x200 gif with 12 frames 😑 i've basically given up posting daily map images like i used to because the scaling makes them look unreadable even on smaller maps, but fortunately i keep discoving new ways of wasting time trying to share stuff
ok Mortal Kombat, you got it out of your system, that's enough now. these guys are ruining the vibe of my MK collages
