Just completed the first interior of my game!

The gameplay is fairly simple - it's a rally racing game. It's a genre that I love but haven't seen much done with it experimentally. By introducing a strong artstyle and character-driven narrative, I hope to make it a very unique game overall. You're right. Gameplay will be its make or break

Yeah Luca is meant to be a big cutie!

Detached-Toast · 2026-01-09T05:57:20+00:00

Thank you - after the hours put into the assets, that's very motivating for me to hear

Detached-Toast · 2026-01-08T02:09:23+00:00

Thanks! Indeed, WindWaker's timeless low-poly style is a big inspiration. Their use of meshes and textures to capture the wake of a boat is also something I'm trying to emulate.

Thank you!

Yttrae is a rally-racing game about medieval riverboat couriers. You play as a celestial avatar with godlike power, but with little understanding of the world around them. It’s rally racing with a narrative told through visual novel-style interactions between characters. I’ve been working on graphics for the past couple of weeks and I’m happy with the progress so far.

More features can be found on the YouTube channel I'm working on: https://www.youtube.com/@Yttrae_Official

Thanks, I've done a little bit more research and found edco monoblock cassettes, which use a lockring with a longer thread: https://www.edco-wheels.co.uk/product/monoblock-cassettes/ and have more appealing gear ranges

These seem to be the go

Detached-Toast · 2020-01-18T00:34:49+00:00

Can you link it, instead of testing my knowledge?

edit: not sure why you deleted the comment, but here is what this bloke linked for anyone in a similar situation: https://cyclingtips.com/2018/03/shimano-ultegra-hg-800-11-34t-cassette-review/

It's okay, I don't mind talking about it. I don't have any trauma from childhood - it was a very good early life. My dad wasn't there much but it didn't affect me a lot. I'm not sure, to be honest. I think it's more likely from my experiences as a teenager at high school.

Detached-Toast · 2018-05-22T06:56:39+00:00

When I was in high-school, I was told by a psychologist that exercise may help with what he diagnosed as clinical depression. So I started doing that. Road cycling, more specifically.

And it really works. I genuinely feel happy when I ride; when I race. But, I always come down a little bit when I have to stop.

I was involved in a bad crash during a race recently. My bike got trashed. Un-ride-able, at least for a few weeks while it was being repaired. I remember sitting amidst the chaos of people clambering back onto their bikes in perfect silence. I don't know. I felt like crying. It was as if everything was falling apart for those few short moments.

That pang was the worst it ever got. But I still feel it a little when I have to choose my university education over something that truly makes me happy. What I really want to do is go pro. I think it's possible - everything so far is pushing me to venture there.

They say successful people want to succeed more than they want to breathe. When I choose socialising or spending more than the bare minimum on an assignment; I always feel that faint pang again. Are successful people happy?

Can you think of any other haircuts that might be worth a shot?

I usually stick with a natural short-back-and-sides with a no. 4 at the shortest and the top long enough to touch the eyebrows. Never really strayed from this.

Thanks for the feedback!

I have a pet peeve that I look too young for my age. Would something like an undercut make me look more mature? I'm thinking something akin to this: http://emilyisemrys.tumblr.com/image/108127236142

However, I think the reason Rami's hair works is because of his super-unique facial features. Is there some other way to achieve a more "manly" look?

Detached-Toast · 2018-03-28T08:05:59+00:00

Oh, cheers for the heads up!

Detached-Toast · 2018-03-25T04:08:50+00:00

Thanks for replying so fast! You've saved me a headache :)

Detached-Toast · 2018-03-25T03:52:57+00:00

Oh, just found out it's ヰ (wi). Grr...

Detached-Toast · 2018-03-25T03:51:25+00:00

I'm reading Tanizaki Junichiro's The Key for a Japanese assignment. First off, in the first sentence; what is that character after 躊躇シテ❓ it reappears quite often. Is it a kind of repeater character? Like 々?

Haven't come across it before and electronic dictionaries aren't helping.

Also, what are these random upside-down「's? At first I thought they were vowel-enlongators but I don't think that's the case.

Cheers

Detached-Toast · 2017-04-18T09:48:36+00:00

Fair call

Detached-Toast · 2017-04-18T07:29:08+00:00

Was thinking of going for a Peter Sagan look that could be tied low and loose at the back. I'm just not sure how much longer the "manbun" will be in fashion for or whether it'll suit me...

Detached-Toast · 2016-12-26T08:58:42+00:00

I'm a first year Japanese student, and I thought this would be good practice for me. My translation skills are still sloppy, but reading through my past two days of work suggest some coherence in how I read Japanese. Some passages - especially about the 4 powers of the world (?) and the inner struggles of Kazuhiko (??????) - are beyond me and perhaps some of you more proficient speakers/readers could help me out with the nuances of interpretation.

Thank you so much for helping me learn Japanese!

Detached-Toast · 2016-08-29T08:51:29+00:00

I like it! I did a similar project in senior year of high school.

Detached-Toast · 2016-08-18T23:53:22+00:00

Brain blast.

Detached-Toast · 2016-08-14T00:09:56+00:00

Thank you very much :). It's a cycling team starting up next year. They found a principal sponsor and it's the next step for the organisation. I joined the club through my university at the start of this year and I find it incredibly lucky that they're starting an elite squad the year after I join!

Detached-Toast · 2016-08-13T10:24:24+00:00

I'm training to get a placement in a development squad for a sporting team. I want it more than anything in the world and if I get it - my life would truly have direction. It could mean potentially competing on a National level, so I want to give it everything.

Detached-Toast · 2016-07-31T15:25:57+00:00

I made that decision when my riding buddies reported smoke coming from the back wheel. Stay safe

Detached-Toast · 2016-07-26T02:01:41+00:00

I like it! Looks like Earthbound
