WOAH.

Bet you never thought you'd see Old BIONICLE Leko again eh?

Probably because you've never heard of him, and thus had no reason until just now to think anything about him at all. BUT THAT IS BESIDE POINT I AM MAKING.

WHICH IS...

Uh...

RIGHT.

I am going ahead with that idea I had a million years ago to make another blog to act as an archive for all my old stuff that got wiped out when DeviantART died.

(Yes, DeviantART IS in fact dead. Its corpse may still be moving around, but it's an empty and lifeless husk.)

SO. With that in mind, feel free to check out

Leko's Library!

Like I said, I'm just gonna dig through all my old crap, post something here every once in a while and talk a bit about what was going through my head while making it.

And I made this render of Old BIONICLE Leko because I needed a unique avatar for the blog, and thought it would be fun to use my old face for it. I'm actually quite happy with how it came out considering it was pretty much a rush job.

My brain was just...not working on this one. Pull the lever, watch the ball go through, IMMEDIATELY FORGET WHAT I LITERALLY JUST WATCHED IT DO.

[csleko]

Finishing Psychonauts 2 today? Maybe? Hard to say, but I feel like there can't be more than 2-3 levels left to go through. If it turns out there's less to go than I thought, I'll just do the post game collectible sweep!

[csleko]

WOAH PSYCHONAUTS 2 IS FINALLY OUT AND I'M GONNA PLAY IT.

EDIT: WHAT!? Did I seriously post this without the Twitch link!? Dangit!

[csleko]

Streaming? That thing I do sometimes? Where I play a game and folks can watch? I did Danganronpa 2 a little while ago? Yeah, I’m starting the 3rd one now.

Proof of concept for making Sprite-O-Verse episodes with Blender.

The actual comic making part of this process is WAAAAAAY faster than Photoshop! Like, yeah, I spent hours making the set and it’s still not totally done, but moving the characters and camera around, rendering out each panel, throwing it into Photoshop and slapping some speech bubbles on it? Like an hour? Maybe?

I’m seriously considering committing to this style change. Besides looking 1000x better in general, you might actually see more than 1-2 episodes a year from me!

I just learned Yesterday that 8/10 is BIONICLE Day, so instead of “Metroidvania Monday” this week I’ll make it “Mata Nui Monday” and you can join me as I nostalgically rave throughout the old Mata Nui Online Game, a point-and-click Flash game that used to be on the BIONICLE section of the LEGO website! 

[csleko]

Missed a couple Mondays back there, but I’m back with more of The Messenger! 

[csleko]

It’s over! Good guys win! Hooray! 

But...WHAT IF....there was an alternate timeline where Kyle was a murderous psychopath who killed pretty much everyone he met, turned to the Dark Side and tried to take the phenomenal cosmic power of the Valley of the Jedi for himself?

That’d be pretty freakin’ crazy, right? 

Heh...right?

[csleko]

MONDAY MEANS MORE MESSENGER METROIDVANIA MADNESS.

[csleko]

It’s time to start a new Metroidvania! On this Monday! Because that’s the thing I do now! 

The wheel has chosen The Messenger, a game that starts out like Ninja Gaiden I think? And then gets around to being more Metroidvania...y...

[csleko]

“Hello, and welcome to Blaster Blocking School!”

“Aaaand you fail.”

[csleko]

Remember that guy who single handedly stole the Death Star plans, beat the crap out of Boba Fett, blew up an Imperial murderbot factory,  and THEN became a freakin’ Jedi?

Well we get to play as him again. Except he got bored of being a Jedi and decided to just be a normal badass for a while.  

[csleko]

If y’all didn’t even know I had a Twitch channel, I don’t blame you. And this is why. I have more fun making stuff for it than I do actually using it.

Also....something about spending half an hour on this meme when I could’ve done it in 2 minutes just using the template.

[csleko]

Metroidvania Monday continues! Last week, I finished CHASM and the wheel chose Ori and the Blind Forest for me to play next! BUT....it didn’t occur to me to actually install the game, so I played (and 100%’d) Gato Roboto instead.

So NOW I can play Ori! 

[csleko]

It’s Metroidvania Monday! I’m probably finishing Chasm today, so I’ll have to spin my wheel of games to choose a new adventure to embark upon after!
