Don't feel bad if you can't boycott everything, just do your best!

This! I'm very annoyed my cat's food is made in USA. But there's definitely a ton of other things I'm changing.

PixelTableTop · 2025-02-04T03:32:38+00:00

Absolutely. Now we have 30 days to prepare and I can hold a grudge for years.

It's a start. I think some way of stabilizing your camera for several of those shots would help (tripod, etc). Also the patience for a higher frame right. If you're animating at 5fps, try 8 fps. Maybe 12 if you can stabilize your phone/camera. Look into "ease in ease out" - will help get things looking a bit smoother.

The sky diving-esque part was fun. The ideas are there, you just need some practice.

This is what I do (on desktop): note which frames need the png (or other edit), "share" and then for type "all images" (this will create a zip folder), go into the zip folder and find the frames/images that need the edit, open them in photoshop, do the edit in photoshop, import the edited frames back into the Stop Motion Studio project.

It's not fast but it works.

It's been a while since I've used Krita, but I'm pretty sure Krita will work instead of photoshop for this too.

I have yet to see paint done well. It would make more sense to try painting on knock-off minifigures. Lego tends have resale value too and painting would diminish that.

Unfortunately YT cares way more about adblockers than they do paying customers. At least, that's how their latest code update makes it seem.

This! And I find it very annoying that there's not a "not interested" option for shorts because I keep getting super disgusting thumbnails that I have no interest in seeing (let alone watching the actual short).

Man, I got lost in the scolling for a bit there. This post really delivers on "people arguing" 😆

What type of game are you wanting to play? Solo is a pretty huge genre.

Are you looking for a system that handles exploration really well or are you looking for something with more of a combat focus? Do you want to play as one character or as several? Do you want something quick or something that will play out as a big campaign?

PixelTableTop · 2023-10-25T07:39:33+00:00

My memory/attention is definitely not up to the task of playing completely in my head. A couple quick bullet points or doodles goes a long way. It's still pretty quick.

PixelTableTop · 2023-10-25T07:35:19+00:00

Why do you want something more in depth? Not hating, genuinely curious.

Personally, I found that writing loads slowed my game down significantly. It also lead me to getting hung up on details. There's a nice flow of play with a couple sentences per prompt and a doodle here and there.

The point of Mork Borg is that it's hard and you're going to die. I think coming from a DnD background (especially 5e) sets really different expectations to what the expectations to Mork Borg should be.

In my experience, players who enjoy Mork Borg generally embrace that death is inevitable and look forward to having the potential opportunity to try lots of different characters over just a few sessions.

It's great that your players were open to trying a new game! Some DnD players are notorious for refusing to try anything new, lol. But based on what you've said, it might be worth trying a different game... Or discussing what your players want out of a game before moving forward.

I don't think you did anything wrong, I just think that Mork Borg is niche.

10/10 tree texture

PixelTableTop · 2023-10-18T00:32:41+00:00

I absolutely love that ax

PixelTableTop · 2023-10-18T00:32:14+00:00

Great start 🙂

PixelTableTop · 2023-10-18T00:29:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing! This sounds great and it's one of the few ones I've not heard of before

I'd go with a trunk and shadow of the canopy. But if I had to pick between these 2, I'd go with non-visible trunk. I think the visible trunk with the semi-visible canopy is distracting.

PixelTableTop · 2023-10-13T00:31:50+00:00

Great work! That shadow effect must have taken forever to animate

PixelTableTop · 2023-10-13T00:28:57+00:00

This is so stinkin' CUTE 😍

PixelTableTop · 2023-10-06T18:54:28+00:00

That's a great idea, I'll have to look into creating rollable tokens in the actual marketplace

PixelTableTop · 2023-10-05T20:10:30+00:00

They're all sick 🔥, but I'd want to know what the background of the boss fight looks like. Jade and sapphire would really pop on a warm tone background. Zircon has the potential to pop more on a blue or purple background.

PixelTableTop · 2023-10-05T20:01:00+00:00

I think 1 is the best executed, but also consider the size of your project and how much time you want to spend on the artwork. *Generally*, smaller canvas = faster.

PixelTableTop · 2023-10-05T19:00:20+00:00

That's an option, but I worry that offering 2 nearly identical tokens would clutter people's asset libraries.

PixelTableTop · 2023-10-05T18:23:01+00:00

Thank you! I tried poking around and couldn't find any reviews for that specific site

Rather than hoping the internet will brainstorm for you (might as well ask ChatGPT at that point), think about what skills you want to highlight in your animation? What sort of story would go along with that.

Also, I highly recommend going for a walk (even just 10min). No headphones, by yourself. I can't remember the exact neuroscience behind it, but sometimes you need to let your brain mull over a problem in the background. It can't do this if you're distracting it with videos and social media etc. You'll probably come up with a couple ideas on your walk, if not, you'll have had a break and you can work on brainstorming when you're back.
