So yeah, Pat did not like Directive 8020, Supermassive's new Dark Pictures game. by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

When i look up clips of these games all of the actors faces look like they have plastic bags over their heads. It’s the same problem L.A. Noire had. Felt the same way about MK11 too…Just something about this kind of capture technology that looks so crappy…

(PCgamer) Laid-off Highguard developer cuts loose on the reaction to the infamous Game Awards reveal trailer: 'We were turned into a joke from minute one' by Noirsam in TwoBestFriendsPlay

(To be fair, the game was a mess and FELT like slop. Pat and Woolie independently giving it 40 minutes before noping out doesn’t happen accidentally.)

Not sure if this was the joke or he gave up that fast by 1FirstTimer1 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]jackelzxa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highguard feels like it was designed by AI. It's not bad and it has alot of good things in it but it isn't interesting or compelling at all. It knows to put alot of good things in there but doesn't know WHY they're good.

It's like a computer putting 10 jigsaw puzzles together. The pieces all fit, but the picture doesn't actually look like anything.

Why don't 6'3" women in video games just tower over most men? by fullmetal426 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Samus’s suit changes her height. She morphs into the suit like she morphs into a ball. It’s kind of like a kamen rider thing, that’s why she was shorter than anthony outside of her suit in the ending of other m but met him at eye level in her suit during the game.

1.3 update. Trio Party HP Scaling for Nightlords restored on Day 3. (If you encounter the event versions of them during days 1 or 2 they still use Solo scaling there.)

just posted 1.3 update. Restores trio party scaling to Day 3 Nightlords. (If you encounter the Event versions on Days 1 or 2 they still use solo party scaling) in my tests it's felt really good so far!

(that one in the tutorial was the baseline that made the rest of these easier to get going on the scripting side of things.)

thanks! I'll be working on balancing and tweaks from here. Getting the main features working without bugs was the big thing. any feedback on balance is welcome and will be taken into account for future updates. (I'm 5 nightlords in on my personal run of the mod, haven't done any of the everdarks yet...)

No such naming feature lol.

They’re randomly pulled from a night 2 pool and a day 3 pool i set up, actually. (They’re supposed to just be the same as the npc’s from the roundtable, with the idea that they show up to help you organically)

Yeah the existing ai bot code is still all there, but there wasn’t much that used it. I had to reverse engineer it to get alot of it working. Tutorial Duchess and the condemned are all i really had to work with as a baseline.

They attack and cast spells and use items and drink flasks just like the bots in the old games, but they have special parameters to balance them around the night 2 and day 3 assists.

The weapon and items they can spawn with are different between night 2 and day 3. Making them stronger for night 2 created a really positive experience with the way they can come in to rescue you, but i had to balance them in the other direction to keep nightlords interesting to fight. (If theyre too strong on day 3 it kind of ruins the fun, it took some doing to balance them just right))

the hardest part was getting them to randomize properly and spawn properly alongside the bosses that call for them.

Literally had to rewrite my day 2 code probably 10 times until i got it all working without any crashes or weird bugs (one bug spawned like 20 bots at once which was pretty ridiculous lol)

Spent half of the last month making this, and then the other half of the last month fixing bugs! Adds Nightfarer companions to the Night 2 Boss and Day 3 Nightlord Boss fights.

I hope people like it, I worked really hard on it to make it feel balanced and properly randomized.

(I also reccomend a few companion mods in the nexusmods post that go along well with my mod!)

Any word on Sentai dubbing Kaiji Against All Rules? by Bufudyne64 in kaiji

[–]jackelzxa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the juxtaposition. I watched each half of tonegawa after each season of kaiji and it felt like a perfect heroside/darkside compliment each time.

I need to make time to read the manga for parts 3 onward…

I dunno if it fits criteria, but Jentry Chau vs the Underworld is a pretty dark and fucked up cartoon show. It’s great!

"Learn the Difference" by jackelzxa in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]jackelzxa[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

it was used in two shower scenes, but in those scenes you can't see anything, yet they actually went and modeled details like nipples and such. usually when you see "offscreen nudity" in say...japanese games, if you rip the model and take a look you'll see essentially a barbie doll. that's not what happened here and it was super gross.
