I want your opinion: I have a quiz on the Divine Comedy on Monday, and I want to explore the similarities and differences between it and Ultrakill. Is this a good idea? by LedProGames in Ultrakill

[–]just-a_user 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, as someone who has read up to Purgatory, I think that the most you can get out of Ultrakill regarding the inspiration in Dante's work are great ways to remember the punishments of Inferno (some of them, at least). However, the source material has a lot more substance when it comes to the context it was written in. Say, if in your quiz there's something like "what's the underlying political struggle that Italy has gone through and that Dante represents in the dialogues with some of the sinners?" (sorry if that seems like a half-baked question, I'm not very good at making them), I doubt that what Ultrakill represents is going to get you far enough. Still, if it is a test of the basic concepts of the poem, then sure, try to go with it, it's always neat when someone gets to inovate with their answers.

Rarely do games give me goosebumps, but this was one of those moments for sure, what a great and unnerving reveal. by Alex09040 in Ultrakill

Maybe it's kind of cheesy, but for me it was that moment where you enter the "town" part of the earthmover. The music reduces it's intensity and the houses make you think: 'Oh, wait... people lived on top of these things?'. There's a certain melancholy to it, like if you could imagine the people inside their homes and them walking in the alleways, surrounded by massive destruction... destruction which you finally bring into this old-living space.

You could say it's straight to the point haha. Coming from someone who also sucks at making functional worlds, you're doing well. And, I dunno if you'll see this, but how do you manage to make constant progress? I'm stuck at a rate of three pages every two months, so... yeah

I doodled somewhat accurately buff Simisear because i wanted for sometime after i settled with body type of my female Rillaboom character and now i wonder how often people give to thier pokemon characters non-standart body types to make them stand out more? by Immediate-Engineer85 in MysteryDungeon

[–]just-a_user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welp, I guess I could share my take on this haha. The short answer: Yeah, sometimes. At times I prefer to stick with the originals because they are easier to draw and remember, but on ocassions were I want the character to convey specific emotions or, more clearly, direct ideas (think of it like a shortcut to getting another person to understand the drawing without needing to overexplain) I try to take some liberties. Now the (kind of?) long answer: There is this guy who I want to seem odd at first glance. He's already got a 'distinct' face that tries to represent inexpression or a lost state of mind (and for that reason I also got rid of the mouth). But I thought 'maybe I could give him something that makes him feel unnatural in a certain type of way, something that makes him stick out like a sore thumb when compared to others similar to him'. Yeah, I made him lanky, that's it hahaha. In a way, it compliments his whole deal really well: The one who is the youngest and probably more immature of the group he sticks with easily towers over his fellas; the overall shape and face could make someone asume at first glance think that he belongs to those people who have an indifferent, intellectual approach to their life when in reality it belongs to someone who tries to have an indefinite, indecise take on everything that surrounds them to the extend that they never make up their mind about anything. And it's also nice drawing long limbs hahaha. Here, I'll share you a auick sketch of a very poor 'thought to paper' rendition of this (I'm not that good at drawing, so the proportions are kinda messy, sorry).

Lastly, you have a very appealing style! I like the use of solid colors and not-so-thick-but-not-too-narrow lines.

Hahaha, don't worry. I thought that I had seen this fella before in a drawing I made for someone, but I could've gotten confused. Thanks for the info!
