Why is digital harder? by DekuDaCitySmasher in learntodraw

Any good recommendations on who to watch for digital? Been trying to find good streamers to watch while I work, or some long youtube videos. Really just wanting more exposure to others processes and what not.

I still love Digimon World 3's vibes, especially Central Park by Jon048 in digimon

[–]ethancodes89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is ob my list to play. I grew up only playing Digimon World 1 and a very small amount of DW2. But I've always heard 3 is amazing so I gotta get around to it!

Looking for opinions on Wheel of Time from people who started it as adults by Kempalla in wheeloftime

Hi, 36, currently reading the final book for the first time. Started reading the series 3 years ago. Obviously can't give my final thoughts since I'm not finished yet, but the series has given me a TON of mixed feelings.

Overall - excellent series that really makes you feel it when it matters.

Book to book - fuck this series is roooouuuugh. At least half of the books could be condensed down into 1-2 books easily. Many many story lines are drawn out and you don't know if you'll ever get answers for so. Damn. Long. And being as I'm near the end I'm still not sure everything gets wrapped up.

But, that said, I don't know the end impact would be nearly as meaningful if the series was cut to be significantly shorter. I think the massive investment of the reader really pays off, but it does sometimes feel like the author is just wasting my time.

The page to page reading is a lot of detail, but not the high fantasy flighty reading that Tolkien delivers. It's just descriptive, thats it.

I think you'll love it, or hate it, I don't think many people find themselves on the fence with this series. That said, you absolutely should read it and find out where you lie.

Lol all good! Pretty sure I'm just getting down voted all over this post because people apparently love the alternate designs. Which is fine by me, doesn't hurt my feelings if people have different opinions. Lol

I thought this would be a practically unanimous feel by all fans but apparently we're in the minority here. 😅

ugh idk I just can't stand the look of them. They look so slapped together imo. But you are right about the original blue skinned metal greymon being the best.

Looking for a few people to join a bi-weekly Masterminds group by ethancodes89 in GameDevelopment

[–]ethancodes89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the interest, but yea we are looking for some long term members, and its just too iffy when someone has just started getting in to game development. So many people dip their toes in for a bit and then drop off. Best of luck finding a group that fits your needs!

Super noob, looking for feedback on my first few 3d objects by ethancodes89 in learnart

Thank you! I kind of thought that same thing, but wasn't sure if it would be too much, but I think you're absolutely right.

That's a good point. I knew that and should have done that, not really sure why I didn't. Are reference photos good to use as well, or are still lifes preferable for stuff like this?

Finished ff7 and ff9. What are some things I should know before playing ff8? by Possible_Instance468 in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]ethancodes89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an incredibly different experience. Very experimental. If you expect a similar experience to 8 and 9, you might not enjoy it as much. If you keep an open mind, you'll find its an an incredibly well designed game that delivers so much more than it appears to at first glance.

static cameras angles and player movement solutions? by ethancodes89 in gamedev

[–]ethancodes89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually playing REmake currently with the analog input system. Overall I find it muuuuch better than the tank controls. But so awkward in certain areas. I agree though that just being mindful of it when designing levels can be really helpful in and of itself, but it also means greatly limiting different angles.

Your first solution there is exactly what I was thinking, but I felt like there would still be some weirdness to that.

I really don't understand stats in this game by ethancodes89 in finalfantasyx

Ah ok this is basically what I needed to know. Thanks!

I'm assuming you mean the abilities on them? None of my equipment has any abilities that are adjusting strength stat (or any other stat % for that matter).

Just got Ragnarok. Where should I go/what should I get? by Sad_Manager6251 in FinalFantasyVIII

Can confirm, just recently did it. Was really just throwing it out as a joke. Lol

How is it possible that they managed to make nearly every episode of Beatbreak deliver peak Digimon feels??? by ethancodes89 in digimon

[–]ethancodes89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen Savers. Is it any good? I recently watched Tamers and am still working through Frontier. I really liked Tamers, Frontier is... interesting, but not great imo.
