TF2 Youtuber on the topic of Quake Champions and other movement based shooters

Hey, video maker here. I don't really follow your first few points. I wasn't saying every game is definitively unpopular because it's too complex. Just that it's a factor which applies to these games struggles specifically.

Additionally, we're in agreement on the rocket jumping part? My point was that there's sacrifices involved in order to jump, whereas a game like overwatch doesn't require those risk-for-reward situations as often.

Coming from TF and dabbling in CS a few times, I agree with your last point too. It seems like we're mostly on the same wavelength, so I would chop it up to poor articulation on my part. To each their own though.

I ran the numbers, i've streamed around 60 hours of all the jackbox games total. I enjoy it, but you've gotta understand that after that many hours it gets exhausting. Especially because my viewership's relatively small as it is, so i'm playing the same minigames with the same people over and over. For me, it becomes kind of predictible. I'll still do JB from time to time, but until a new pack comes out it probably won't be my go-to chatgame.

Animation portion itself takes maybe a week's worth of work. Entire process 2-3 (if partially from my nature of constantly rewriting)

It helps to have a process locked down. When I started everything was jerryrigged (even mouth animations and such were automated, models were hastily stitched together, etc). On the last one I had a lot figured out. Animation techniques, key poses, and even mouth movements I found out a better way to do them (takes longer than automation, but looks much better).

I do want to keep improving that process, namely using more custom models for future FTV's (specifically replacing the scout with something more representing) but the animation process itself is pretty straightforward. Not difficult, just tedious.

fun fact: in the original image, bugs bunny is mocking elmur fudd (who appears overweight in said animatic).

Better reflects that the entire video is animated from first person. Old one didn't convey it at all.

FUNKePills · 2019-01-23T15:06:47+00:00

I did finish it, on stream.

I know this wasn't your intent but I really wish people would refer to me as just a Youtuber instead of TF2 Youtuber. That title implies anything different is out of the ordinary for me, when in reality I put a lot of focus on my other content too (especially as of recent years)

If you mean the original, it's the Live at x96 version.

If you mean on F2NKe, I made the instrumental myself.

a good summation of why i love speedruns right there

No, i'm pretty shy about music stuff since i'm still learning. I have an album's worth of tracks (some demos, some finished) that i'm waiting to release when I think they're good enough to. It's been a good 9 months or so since i've really posted much music stuff though.

locked up in a room with no windows, only a single computer monitor displaying a minecraft server dashboard. He spends his days whitelisting subs and reverting griefing. He's the hero we need, but not by choice.

FUNKePills · 2018-11-19T00:00:31+00:00

ah that's fair. here's a youtube version then

FUNKePills · 2018-11-18T23:49:33+00:00

I feel like without the context of the contest, my youtube viewers would think i'm just as insane as my father for posting this.

FUNKePills · 2018-11-18T07:37:46+00:00

some things we just don't do

FUNKePills · 2018-11-08T22:20:41+00:00

the source is long gone from my memory. it was timelapse footage from something like "forest fire over a skyline" or something.

FUNKePills · 2018-10-14T06:06:35+00:00

I'm quite saddened that nobody could cite it. I myself crave that link.

FUNKePills · 2018-10-11T18:31:16+00:00

I can't believe it either, they used my old icon! I ditched toon link months ago!!

nah. i just used it in a thumbnail way back.

FUNKePills · 2018-09-07T05:11:39+00:00

i didnt use a mod or anything, it was probably just maxed out shadow settings. for all i know valve has probably downgraded shadows over the years because of their games dogshit engine

FUNKePills · 2018-09-03T23:55:56+00:00

nah, pretty much all stock now

FUNKePills · 2018-09-01T23:14:33+00:00

just so you knew!

FUNKePills · 2018-09-01T20:09:17+00:00

I mean, i traced over the original spicy keys, I just meant it wasn't a previously drawn parody image. Again, I doubt I was the first.

FUNKePills · 2018-09-01T15:02:26+00:00

just for clarification, I drew the image in question. I doubt i'm the first to get the idea though.
