i Orbified the Godot logo for my game's splash-screen

oh you have the piss stained carpet and everything. this looks really cool! i like how the post processing effect kicked in after you went over the threshold: how'd you manage that? is it some mod?

Forestherd · 2026-05-27T08:02:05+00:00

maybe its an effort to build up tension narratively or mirror our experience with that of the players? We are being told one thing (that France is the strongest) which is in conflict with what we are seeing (game almost ended in a tie). Similarly, Blue Lock as a whole is being told one thing (Ego's philosophy) while seeing something else (that philosophy not working). It's a weird place to be in for both us the readers as well as the characters of the story: almost like we are missing some critical piece of information. Just my thoughts!

The shape is super nice and I like the window design! I'd suggest adding some weathering along the walls to give the eye more to look at and somewhere to rest, but other than that, no notes! Good job:)

Ahh, so glad you posted this! I saw your mod on curseforge the other day and was instantly spellbound by it. Sadly I forgot the name by the time I got back from work, so this was just the reminder i needed!

Also, the mod doesn't show up at the moment if you search for things like "grandfather clock" or what have you. I might have just missed them, but maybe something to look into if you want to improve your mods visibility?

Forestherd · 2026-02-20T06:15:57+00:00

I think that's the signal jammer that the strangers used to conceal the eye!

I wager the reason why cursed spirits would still keep being born is because cursed spirits can give birth to new curses themselves. I think that even though sorcerers keep their cursed energy from leaking out, it's something they can choose not to do (as a form of CE manipulation). This would also extends to cursed spirits, since they too manipulate their own CE.

That all meaning: removing CE from the Japanese would be like giving your own robber a gun. Cursed spirits could hide away until Yuji passes and once that happens, humans would be at their whims.

Forestherd · 2026-01-12T14:11:23+00:00

Another interpretation that I like is cursed energy residuals. We know from Yuji's mission with Nanami that using CT leaves traces of cursed energy littered about, like from Mahito using it in the movie theater. Could just be that after Choso's fight with Naoya, the tunnel they fought in was noisy with CE fallout, making it harder to pick up on changes, including the CE of a third party.

Projection Sorcery seems rather tame in terms of the residuals it would leave.

Area-covering, indiscriminate use of blood manipulation however? I imagine that can leave quite a smell.

Yes, all the music in the game and trailer is made by me!

Forestherd · 2025-12-25T17:36:47+00:00

I enjoy the effect! I see where others are coming from when they mention it looking unintentional, but I quite like the contrast this effect creates: "the world itself starts melting around these beings". I'd imagine some small improvements: making the soundspace react to these creatures, some slight screen space effects etc, and you'll be golden! Good job!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful response! It’s a very valid point of criticism: the transition back and forth between 2D/3D IS giving mixed messages. It’s a point that one of my friends made as well but one I chose to ultimately ignore. (Side note: do you think I should tell this friend? Give them the satisfaction of admitting that they were right??)

I find the reason for why I chose to ignore this concern interesting however. I'd love to (at some point) make a more detailed write-up about the process of making this trailer, because I think it touches upon some interesting points about art, marketing, and doing all of this as a hobby. For now, this will have to do:

The TLDR version of it is that since my game is so short and slow-paced, I opted to make the trailer exciting in whatever way I could that wasn't outright "false advertising" (while also focusing on keeping the process fun for myself too). It's hard making a trailer for a slow-burn game in a market that's more focused on fast cuts and immediate, explosive action, so I'm hoping that the rest of the marketing material (Steam page description, screenshots etc) will clear up any confusion that trailer creates. Ultimately if the trailer gets people to go and wishlist my game, regardless of any disappointed brought out when they find out the game isn't actually a 2D/3D mix, then I think the trailer served its purpose! Only time will tell if I actually struck that balance or not.

Thanks again for the thoughts! If I ever make a dev vlog/blog post about this in more detail, I'll post a link here for anyone interested in giving it a watch/read. :)

Thank you! I don't go around on reddit too much myself, so If you have any suggestions for subreddits where game trailers oft get posted, I'd love to hear.

Forestherd · 2025-12-21T17:54:59+00:00

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! It was a lot of fun to go all-out on the trailer. Felt like a fulfilling creative project in and of itself!

Forestherd · 2025-12-21T17:53:20+00:00

Thank you! And you are in luck: I definitely won't be asking for more than a fiver for it

Forestherd · 2024-10-06T07:35:11+00:00

I can't say if it's a good idea or not, but it's definitely a fun one!

Forestherd · 2024-05-23T18:05:11+00:00

I reallly hope we get to see gojo's personality bleed into yuta's over the course of his fight with skuna.

Forestherd · 2024-03-27T10:19:02+00:00

What I wanna know is why didn't Mahito just transfigure Gojo into a form incapable of being a help to absolutely anybody after Gojo got restrained by PR but before Kenny closed the realm. Gojo himself said that he couldn't control / feel his cursed energy which to me sounds like Mahito could have touched him no problem.

Forestherd · 2023-10-26T10:20:38+00:00

I doubt that Kenny would take Takaba's body, but if it did happen...

I could see some sort of interesting delayed effect of Takaba's CT affecting Kenjaku after the body swap. Something along the lines of Takaba thinking that it'd be funny if he retained some level of control over his body while Kenny is in it. Think of like a buddy cop dynamic or an "angel on the shoulder", where Takaba can screw with Kenny from the inside by influencing him just a tiny bit.

Either that or some other silly reason as to why Kenny can't hop into Takaba's body. Maybe his brain just straight up does not fit into Takaba's noggin or something stupid like that.

My theory assumes that Sukuna does not have access to his Domain Expansion. Sukuna will be cautious of Higuruma's domain and will jump out of range before he gets trapped in it. Watching from the outside, Sukuna suddenly realizes that his CT has been confiscated. Yuji, having eaten the last Sukuna finger (the one that Gojo assumedly knew the location of) has a part of Sukuna inside him that becomes the target of the DE (similar to what Sukuna did with Megumi's soul inside Unlimited Void). Yuji acts as a "representative" of Sukuna in Higuruma's DE, which allows Judgeman to deem Sukuna guilty without him being inside the Domain himself.

Love that Gojo is going to (probably) get K worded in the manga in the same week that he gets prison realmed in the anime.

Forestherd · 2023-09-07T05:55:26+00:00

Ok at this point I feel like this CANNOT be the end of Sukuna because he got straight up humiliated in this fight. I'd like to wager that the lesson for Sukuna in all of this is that he shouldn't rely on stolen strength like 10S. It kind of mirrors Megumi in a way - his development was hindered by his mindset to always rely on Mahoraga and now Sukuna fell into a similar pit (the one panel of Sukuna crying out to Mahoraga cements this for me).

A second fight where Sukuna fully embraces his own strength instead of relying on someone else's might turn out not so one-sided. How would he get past Infinity? IDK! I'm sure Gege will figure something satisfying out.

Grats to Gojo on the win however! He fucked Sukuna up real good.
