I hate everything you make now

 

Why is there a **** sized hole below the face?

 

Something tells me you must REALLY like this one judging by that hole.

 

@xzamplez The map is just incomplete last time I checked. When I came back for Evolved testing we snuffed it for a finished map.

Happy birthday to the goat @Goat One day you'll finish something and we will play it until the sun explodes

 

There's endless inspiration on Pinterest and artstation, but the more I look, the more I recognize that patterns. It makes me want to make stuff that you couldn't possibly find. It's a tall order, but I have a few ideas that I keep trying to find pictures for, and I just cant. That makes me very happy.

And if there's any true way to comparatively measure creative originality, it's Pinterest. That place has it all.

 

The world is a wonderful place when you're the size of a push-pin :ghandi:

 

If there is a concept, I can find a piece of art for it.

 

Never been on pinterest. I just google about 3 or 4 images for some details of the idea I have and the rest comes naturally. And not even all maps, some of my themes are just straight doodling.

 

I think I should dust of my xbone and buy Ori next week. I watched 2 minutes of gameplay and already fell in love with the soundtrack.

 

One image per post?

 

I cant get into any metroidvania type games anymore. Ori didnt impress me, but was really polished. Hollow Knight is pretty good too, but all those types of games are the same. Get "x" ability to double jump or blast through walls to progress etc. It has been done to death and the only way i could get into a game like that again would be if it had a really mature theme and was set in some sort of apocalyptic future or some sort of hellscape. Dantes inferno could be a cool theme to see someone interperet into a metroidvania. Still, id probably get bored of it in an hour like i do with all the others

 

Not impressed. Do you have more?

 

He wants likes

 

Yeah I've played Dante's Inferno lol.

I know what you mean. But the style, graphics, sounddesign and kinda magical feeling really appeal to me.

Anyone playing Unravel 2? I loved the first one, graphics, emotion, puzzles, music. Really something else.

 

If I wanted likes I'd talk **** about Warholic

 

I get that. The only things I hold against Ori are its simple enemy design and lack of replay value. Ori's strength is in its presentation and storytelling moreso than its gameplay design (which is indeed polished despite not reinventing the genre). I could see how a genre reinvention would be more interesting though. There's a lot of potential there.
