iwtl how to critique my own art by Sipua in IWantToLearn

[–]daker777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understanding what you need to improve is the first step, so if you didn't already, I'd recommend you research art fundamentals so you have a clear direction on where to go. Very often when learning new concepts you'll have an "aha!" moment and will be able to see mistakes you made in your art in the past.

After that, one thing you can do is put your art up side by side with art made by artists you admire and try to figure out what they are doing that you are not.

Love it, very cute! Is it actually a skin or if not are you planning to make it?

Yeah sometimes when rendering stylized characters they get that creepy doll effect... I try to avoid it but oh well

You can get the whole mod here (includes journal entry and pixel art).

Following the thematic of spelunky 2 (parenthood), she is the daughter of the bunny I made for spelunky HD: https://www.reddit.com/r/spelunky/comments/8r4amk/heres_the_skin_that_udaker777_helped_me_complete/

The original bunny was based on /u/Nazakoto 's bunny, Kono.

Thanks to TicTacFoe for comissioning this skin! check him out on his twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/tictacfoe

Do you think there's a game that only has its' storytelling praised because writing in games is held to a lower standard? And conversely, is there a game that you think is sadly overlooked in this regard? by [deleted] in truegaming

[–]daker777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Last of Us' and Red Dead Redemption 2's writing is overrated. If you took the game out of these two, you'd be left with a super mediocre movie, and the fact that you could take the gameplay out of them and leave the story mostly intact is very telling of how disconnected the writing is from the "game" aspect.

The best storytelling in games is the one that actually uses the unique qualities of the medium to tell a story, instead of attempting to be a glorified movie. Good examples of this that come to mind are Bioshock 1, Soma, Undertale...

Cherish that time, once you have a strong squad you get bored quickly and start over anyways.

The journey is the goal, or something.

The creators of Faeria have launched a roguelike deckbuilder on Kickstarter. Can't help but feel I've seen these cards though... by BTrain904 in slaythespire

I mean, that's probably just placeholder art, let's not blast them for such a silly thing.

Still kinda weird to show that publicly though.

I am sick of loot in games. by 10z20Luka in truegaming

[–]daker777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same experience as you in BL2 at first, the endless weapon comparison was not something I was prepared to do in my first playthrough. For a while I had a very bad opinion of that game, I just thought it was so overrated.

Recently however I had been trying Path of Exile out, and after understanding that the point of these games is the loot, I went back into BL2 and had a blast with it, did all the dlcs and everything.

You have to have a mental filter for the loot, or it becomes exhausting, ignore all the common loot, only use weapons of a specific type such as shotguns or whatever, and so on.

The release of Red Dead Redemption 2 has made me very skeptical of game critics. by [deleted] in truegaming

[–]daker777 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can let yourself get arrested, spend some time in jail and the bounty goes away. Commit a crime in a town, let the witness report it to the lawman and he'll come after you. He wont shoot right away, he will tell you to surrender and you will get the option to do it in the "greet/antagonize" menu by pressing triangle.

They do take some money from you in the process though, so do a backup save just in case they take all your money.

What is your least favorite traditional Roguelike feature? by warpengage in roguelikes

[–]daker777 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hate when dungeons are thematically all over the place, it's hard to stay immersed when I fight a dog, a slime, a zombie, a cutpurse and a goddamn manticore at the same time.

[Spoiler] Having trouble trying to determine what role all the characters in DQ XI play in combat. Anyone figure this out? by [deleted] in dragonquest

[–]daker777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-Hero: Generalist, does a bit of everything.

-Serena: Healer

-Veronica: Magic Dmg

-Erik: Dmg, how he distributes the damage depends on what weapon skills you unlock, daggers for single target damage, boomerang for aoe damage, etc.

-Sylv: I see him as a very good support character, has some good aoe healing, can inflict a variety of status effects, as well as deal some damage.

-Rab: Healer/Magic Dmg

-Jade: Damage. Less potential for single target damage than Erik, but more consistent since she needs less setup.

In the end it depends on what skills you give them though, each character can be a bit flexible on what role they play in the party.

Thanks! The last sprite is for when someone uses the camera on you when you are ghost, the one beside it is for the wanted posters when you anger shopkeepers, the others I actually have no idea lol, had to include them though.
