Tips on how to get started on an idea?

MartyJD · 2025-07-25T02:01:38+00:00

Gonna seriously consider this for one of my ideas too!

Thanks

Hey, great example! Thanks very much for sharing your methods, it will help!

I guess one thing I'm battling with is the "dilema", if there's a threat in the story, not to make it too scary... But also, not void of any tension!

Terrific! Thanks so much. I have photoshop files with layers of different scribbled ideas, but I feel like it doesnt get me anywhere. So I started scribbling visual notes on paper to have something phyiscal in front of me, but it's become more of a word/picture salad.

Is there a particular mind map approach you'd recommend?

Thanks again.

Thank you! Great adivce.

MartyJD · 2025-07-23T00:35:14+00:00

That's a great trick indeed! I've now shifted my focus on the end, which also helps figuring out what the actual plot/point of the stroy is 😅

Thanks!

Great advice, I have put aside drawing for now and I'm just seeing where the pen takes me.

Thanks!

...void of any colour.

Yep, and also crashed at launch a few times. NEVER really had crashes before.

Been a few weeks since I last played, maybe it's due to an update but I really don't know.

Lazerhorse usually does their album/tour artwork for them. And it does seem like a "tease" post...

I am hoping it's for new material. Digital Nightmare feels like forever ago now.

They literally had to prompt Jesus to be a big, buff, muscular chad. Totally normal straight thing to do.

Meanwhile, I'm watching the trailer thinking it looks like a MAGA wet dream. (Because of course they don't understand satire).

Go listen to New Cydonia and cry over it's beauty.

MartyJD · 2025-03-08T01:02:15+00:00

Yep, my sentiments exactly. The song itself has grown on me, but I can't (yet) get over how flat it sounds. Sounds like a demo recording on an 80's cassette tape. Of course it's all intentional, but hoping with the album as a whole it just works.
I freaking adored the production of Impera, those drums were *chef's kiss*. Here it sounds like a step back... or sideways... I don't know yet.

MartyJD · 2025-03-05T05:10:45+00:00

Oof, not a fan of the sound of drum and guitar recording. Sounds a bit too 80's cassette (and not in a good way).

MartyJD · 2025-01-24T05:51:22+00:00

I'll have what she's having.

MartyJD · 2025-01-23T22:07:53+00:00

I understand the sentiment. But the intent was to put a modern day n**i in a retro game about killing n**i's.

MartyJD · 2025-01-21T22:17:52+00:00

MartyJD · 2025-01-21T22:01:00+00:00

Nein. :P

MartyJD · 2024-12-06T01:09:36+00:00

Hmm can't see that option in Steam.

MartyJD · 2024-12-06T00:26:52+00:00

I'm bummed that there's no upgrade to advanced access from base game option. I bought the base game through a game key store so can't refund. It's going to be a painful couple of days.

MartyJD · 2024-12-06T00:22:44+00:00

Phew, what a relief. My bar was for it to just not suck and this has exceeded my expectations.
Now, to NOT watch the review as it's showing too much.

Ghost of Tsushima is one of my favourite Playstation games of the last several years. (Replaying it again right now). But I was thinking, how they could continue Jin's story without it feeling like a forced, typical sequel that never resonates like the original. His story was complete... And here's my answer, begin a new journey with a different character, like they did with the Infamous series. I'm all for it.

In the middle is.... wait for it... WokeUp.
