#so it's not a game design problem

Between PS5 and PC, I probably have close to 500 hours in RE4 Remake, and I platinumed it on PS5 because I pretend the game is good. The truth is that it's a complete and utter betrayal 6/10 at best and is emblematic of everything wrong with modern game design. Capcom wasn't even trying to make a good game. Never EVER do this to someone.
shooting gallery sucks btw
#resident evil 4#i'm sorry i'm not usually this petty#but what were you thinking putting this in the tags bro#how embarrassing for you#this is it this is the reason people hate me#i understand this#i acknowledge it#and i refuse to change#btw my unironic credentials here are#i have a save on my PS2 memory card right now with the handcannon unlocked in OG RE4#and i own a copy of RE gaiden#i am the most oldschool old fan possible#and i genuinely believe that RE4make is superior to OG RE4 by every conceivable metric#so it's not a game design problem#it's not a new fan problem#it's a you problem

*looking at isat ss discord* my power of being silly got out of control
or how I tried understanding rpg maker basics by literally trying to do one (1) thing I really wanted to see ever since seeing Loop unused sprites lying on wiki months ago
the reason I mentioned isat ss discord was simply bc guys were the first people who saw me trying to draw close to pixel sprite face sprite for Loop to,,, do something at some point just to see how it works
and nope I'm not making this into anything, but I really like the fact that I managed to do this
(now with video post edited into this sentence!)
#the Start and the Epilogue is still planned as a visual novel in my head#I got myself rpg maker to make my thing later which is entirely not related to isat (I already showed my OCs involved in that)#isat shitpost#isat spoilers#isat#isat loop#isat siffrin#isat head housemaiden#that one post about voices difference in isat really helped as it is a bit confusing otherwise#I learn by taking apart stuff - that's how I learn#and how I analyze too#break down the character break down the game to the point of literal out-of-bounds make it all make sense in your head#as my head REALLY likes to complicate AND simplify things#basically this was both#also I have a newfound admiration of rpg games as planning ALL this is honestly so cool#like you need to have EXTREMELY clear picture of what you see otherwise it'll break and you won't be able to fix it properly#also Loop's sprite was flying for so long before I understood the problem and it was funny as hell tbh#also they're not in my Seafoam design bc I was... honestly a bit too tired to make new sprites#so I jsut changed soe details on the ones I already looked over and called it a day for now#I'm sleepy and this silly thing took me 3-4 hours and it's like 3 seconds long#but to be fair I was confused for first 2 hours#anyway shout out to isat ss discord and a happy Loop Wednesday (it's 1 am of 5th so it IS a Loop Wednesday)#not art#sillied too hard#I also accidentally softlocked myself by putting Loop nest to Head Housemaiden so they're a bit futher from her#two hats spoilers#I FORGOT that tag

Loz fandom stop being angsty and give the daydreaming kids on big fun adventures with a cool glowing sword some actual whimsy and joy challenge
#It's like the happy media equals angsty fandom and vice versa but like. Video game series about the dreams and adventures of childhood with#A fandom full of angst and abandonment and depression and smut#It's why I don't really stay in the loz fandom long each time I circle back around#There's so much potential for good things and comfort and snuggly warmth and lightheartedness.#Like yeah messed up things happen in front of and to link but kids are resilient beasts and most importantly they fix it#He's literally wearing the Peter pan hat to invoke that sort of eternal wonder that's the DESIGN of the hat that's why it's so identifiable#Fanart captures it a lot. The gorgeous landscapes and quiet moments and dappled sunlight#But fics???? Oh lu fics are just full of miscommunication and resentment and sour interactions and pain and simmering anger#I prefer to read trusted authors because it's so wearing but the problem is you have to go out and find them lol#It's a very controversial belief of mine that every link enjoyed their adventure even if it was scary or sad and would not be averse to#Another. Oh the circumstances they might hate. But link has never been one to refuse the call#That's the POINT they stepped up when the adults couldn't it's their COURAGE that they'd be fastest to volunteer.#Unrelated but post game botk is adhd central you can do literally whatever you want and whatever pace and you just drift around getting#Distracted and teleporting all over and setting challenges and poking around every nook and cranny#Like botw I had over 300 koroks and 98% map completion. I maxed out hero's path twice over. Totk I've just been wandering around#Speed farming lynels like 17 different goals drifting from one to the other as I wish. Still missing the last 2 sage orbs NO idea where#There's like a million hinoxs now tf#loz#legend of zelda#lu#linked universe#ao3

are people actually mad about the pixel art segments in sonic prime. man literally who cares
#i think theyre cute and a fun way to do little flashback sequences. the one with sonic and tails in s3 was cute#if it was a constant thing or they were really really long id get it but i dont really see the problem with them as they are#it is a tiny bit cursed seeing the classic sprites with the modern eye colors though#especially when the sonic advance games exist so its not like there wasnt a reference for pixel sprites of the modern designs#sonic prime#sonic prime spoilers#iguess. idk#disclaimer i havent actually seen people complaining just people complaining about people complaining#so maybe not many people actually dislike them and its being exaggerated idk

"Why did Tears of the Kingdom have a development cycle just as long as Breath of the Wild's even though it reused so many assets?" is a question that I think fundamentally misunderstands how modern game design works
It assumes that the team does something like all sit down, develop the physics engine, then they can move on to the overworld map, then they can move on to making the cutscenes, etc. and when you think about that for just a second it becomes obviously absurd. Developing a physics engine, writing dialogue, creating textures, designing puzzles, and so on are all different disciplines that different specialists work on in parallel and in cooperation
What probably actually happened is a lot of the artists, engine devs, and so on put a lot less time into the project, before/while working on a bunch of different projects at Nintendo (quite possibly including the engine and art for the next Zelda game), and they also probably didn't need to get Monolith Soft to help design the overworld. Meanwhile, the puzzle designers, writers, and a lot of the rest of the team have to do just as much work as they did for Breath of the Wild (or more!), and so it's not that surprising that it took just as long
(Disclaimer that I don't know for certain that this is how it happened internally at Nintendo, and short of interviewing the devs I don't think there's any way to find out. The credits won't help because close to all of the people who moved on to other teams either worked on TotK for part of the development and/or had their work ported over from BotW. This is just my understanding of how modern AAA game development works)
#tears of the kingdom#totk#loz#zelda#the legend of zelda#pops talks zelda#when you say it out loud the idea that the guy who made the lighting engine#then went on to be involved at all in the writing or puzzle design or texture art#is comical#so that guy not having to make a new lighting engine doesn't free up an extra guy for other parts of the game#it frees up an extra guy to make a lighting engine for splatoon 4 or whatever#and having more guys working on writing or puzzle design doesn't necessarily make it go faster either!#some things just take a while to do! you can't solve every problem by adding more cooks to the kitchen!

My guy don't describe the random lost scientist guy that way to Rayla of all people. That literally just describes Callum.
#of course ive put like 5 hours into the game and ive exclusively only played at rayla 100% of the time why do you ask#ESPECIALLY now that i have her arc2 design#ive fuckin loved knives my whole life and love rayla so naturally#slish slash smash crash!!#also the zelda pot rules in this game are *chefs kiss* i smashed the first boxes i saw and was immediately hooked they know me so well#and rayla has like 3 lines commenting on smashing stuff that makes it even better#ill probably mainly only use characters that have swords/blades for fighting like runaan and soren and amaya and obviously rayla duh but i#also cannot wait to unlock the ability to play as callum#wanna see what kinda moves muh boy has!! and get his arc2 design too!!!!!#watch me being almost exclusively a rayla and callum and runaan player tbh#but anyway yeah i thought this was so funny cuz like sir i know youre talking about that scientist guy but you also just 100% described#callum and to rayla of all people this didnt help at all#tdp#tdp: xadia#tdp xadia#xadia#rayla#the dragon prince#continue the saga#continuethesaga#give us the saga#giveusthesaga#ive played like 5 hours of the game between last night and today and also requested s8-10 on 4 different times today twice while logged in#netflix is probably so annoyed with me rn#but i dont care i want them to be annoyed ❤️ greenlight arc3 ❤️ or there will be problems (aka ill cry)#dragon lady letters#edit: this just in ive realized that while making this post i didnt really have a proper idea of which characters actually use swords and#which dont lol#thought amaya would have a sword but looks like maybe not?#janai has a sword tho. fuck ye

people can say what they want about the game, but i honestly wish i could experience act 3 of datv as if it were new to me all over again
#it was so good#probably my favourite missions and narrative of any bioware game#the writing the va work the level design the presentation and music were all top notch here#i have my problems with the soundtrack but you have everything you need as well as love and ashes aren't one of them#anyhow just reflecting on the game since some of the let's players i like are finishing the game#and it got me thinking how much i enjoyed it overall despite my criticisms#and yes#i still cry just watching someone else go through act 3#text: personal

Tossing out scraps of my concept for that AU I have a definite amount of ideas for (I have no idea how to make a solid design!)
#UNDERTALE YELLOW#STARLO UTY#UTY STARLO#CEROBA UTY#UTY CEROBA#Ceroba Ketsukane#SHOOTIN' STAR(LO)#CEROBABABA#MY ARTO#Want to hear me explain the ideas trapped in my head? No? Well you checked the tags so YOUR PROBLEM.#Starlo takes the role of Dalv — running away from his duties from the pressure of becoming an authority figure for the people after the#Snowdin Incident along with Kanako's death and Chujin going missing for a very concerning amount of time.#Star may not have a positive opinion of Chu but that never meant he wanted him gone. But now he is and Starlo believes that it is indirectly#his fault. Because of course things had to be complicated!#The ruins is the first area and Starlo is here instead of Dalv. Where is Dalv then? Good question. Next question.#Why is Ceroba in armour? Because she joined the Royal Guard in search of her missing loved ones. Kanako was unmistakably gone —#for what reason was unknown still. But Chujin and Starlo still had hope of being found so she called up her friend Martlet to manage#what we know as the Wild East in base game. Is the name switched in this AU? Likely but I'm still struggling with it. Martlet is the Sheriff#She took up the Fiesty Four in Starlo's absence and she seems to have found another companion while she was at it.#Who? Well.#That's for the Martlet post. If I manage to make one.#UTY#Nearly forgot that tag huh.#UTY AU#I think these designs could be better but I think it's better than nothing.#Crop the drawings? Oh heavens no. I am out of storage!

Some Exocolonist sketches!! (Is that how people shorten the name of this game? Cause I’m absolutely loving I was a Teenage Exocolonist but dammit it’s a mouthful of a title!)
I’ve done I think four or five playthroughs now? And still loving it, though I don’t know if I’ll be able to stomach purposely trying to get some of the bad endings, even though I know it gets you more lore.
#fairmerthefarmer art#the designs in this game are all so fucking good#it’s all just so#also have a few ideas for full illustrations but they’re ambitious#or just#require more planning cause composition and building out a scene that makes sense#problem is I also still have lots and lots of rtte/HTTYD ideas I wanna do#and Nancy#so who the heck knows when I’ll make these exocolonist illustrations#but I can dream#gaming#cozy gaming#yes this is a cozy game I don’t care that there’s death and devastation#my art <3#artists on tumblr#sketchbook#i was a teenage exocolonist#fanart#I was a teenage exocolonist fanart#ignore Rex in the corner#I struggled with him#and the background art???#sketches#Northway games#iwatex

OCtober Day 15: Music - Happy Happy♪ Morning
Master, you're heading out! It shall be a goodbye for a short while. I truly hope you will take care of yourself, please have a nice day today as well! ♫⋆。♪ ₊˚♬ ゚.
She's Rosa, the head of Ninomiya Estate's staff (Namimori branch) and the family's 10th Generation Rain Guardian - a very competent, capable, cool and elegant maid. She's very good at her job because this is exactly her passion in life. It helps even more that her two young masters are very lovable and adorable people 🥰
Whether if it's cleaning up after Kurumi-sama's black matter (after another attempt to practice cooking) or if it's cleaning up after Kana-sama's bloody massacre of corpses (after another mission well done), she's the perfect person for the job! 💪💖 She'll make sure to dispose of any trash for them and to not leave even a single speck of dust.
For Day 15's prompt, I'm linking one of the good vibes songs that's been a regular on my playlist lately. It's a song that perfectly describes Rosa's POV on her work as a maid under Oniyanagi family. If Rossa hears this song in-universe, she will probably make this the staff's main theme song lmao
As for her subordinates, they're still a work-in-progress but I hope to introduce them soon.
She's a very professional person, so she also tries to treat the other guardians well (even if the others can be red flags or assholes). It's just that she tunnel visions on the twins a lot of the time.
Releasing fully detailed profiles for them takes sm time, so I'm just gonna slowly introduce the guardians in snack-size info/posts like these hahaha I'm still tweaking her maid uniform and other parts of her design, I think I can still draw her better. When I'm satisfied, that's when I'll do a full-color illustration of her.
If you're interested in seeing my older arts of her, I got you. This is a Rosa-appreciation post after all 😌😌🥰✨
A Cup of Tea | Cameo in 2024 Yui B-day Art | "Don't bully my master!" | Family Line-up | 2023 Maid Day Art | Cameo in 2023 HNY Art | Cameo in Tomato Song
#khr#khre#khr oc#oc#oc-tober#bweirdOCtober#bweirdOCtober2024#khre rosa#einart#i keep forgetting what tag i use for her bc she's literally just “rosa” svfjvdshvhfsdb#in terms of rain flame --- she's kinda of a more literal interpretation of its main description now that i think abt it#my perfect beloved meidooo~ 🥰🥰😍🤭🤭#i say tweaking her design but it won't be a significant change#i like making character designs simple by default so they're easier to draw for me#i can just glamorize them on special occasions or when needed#(like there are a lot of ga//cha game chara designs that i love but dawg i have body pain problems)#(ALSO AAAAA THE SONG IS SO CUTE PLEASE LISTEN TO IT!!!)#queue i can't put into words

one of the few zelda youtuber guys that seems to actually love totk made a video about it (i guess bc so many talked about why they dont like it) and while i didnt watch it i took a peek into the comments and of course its full of people going "LMAO people only dislike it bc it didnt validate their crazy theories!!" "its always the same when a new zelda comes out lol at first they hate it and then later its a classic haha idiots" "people who dont like it are just caught up in their nostalgia and cant accept anything new being introduced!!"
also thanking him for "speaking up" about loving the game ... which i find kinda mind boggling bc the internet is full of praise and 10/10s for it
i obviously dont want to villainize people that love totk but like .. these kinds of comments are so unecessarily judgemental? how dare someone NOT like an entry in the franchise and voice legit criticism, how dare someone not worship the game just bc it has zelda on it! CLEARLY they are just made delusional by their own fantasy and will realize later just how wrong they were! hah! those fools!
on my rants there were quite a few people who actually said they like the game but agree with alot of my views on it regardless, it is very flawed but i can also see that the good things outweigh the bad stuff for others, even if i legitimately hate it; but i also had to block multiple people bc they got so butthurt about me criticising it
and i dont think its 100% just an opinion thing either, totk, even when i disregard my personal feelings on the matter, has alot of problems, moreso than the other zeldas (each judged for how it was in their time) and in pretty much every part of the game too (story, lore, continuity, gameplay and rewards, UI-) and i think alot of it stems from its conception, they have never done a true direct sequel before and it came from a DLC idea, and it shows (though i still believe even coming from that you could have done something way better..... bc they also made botw, which seemed to prepare fertile ground for more storytelling that was all discarded for NO reason)
BUT that doesnt mean you cant like it anyway! there are some very horribly shitty games out there that are beloved by people anyway! and thats fine! i love ww and botw, both of which HAVE flaws too! and thats okay!
you dont need to be dismissive of any hint of criticism like that, there is no holy honor to defend, it just makes you look like a jerk
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#totk#ganondoodles rants#a little#sorry but like#theres many baffling writing choices in totk#and some mind boggling bad game design too#especially judged by modern games#and completely unnecessary!!#why even call it a sequel if you erase everything from the previous game#and then give some bs excuses in interviews#sorry im starting to rant again#everytime i think about totk i want to bite something bc it could have been so good#and no it didnt have to furfill all my theories or whatever#the biggest problem is that they even refuse to aknowledge the things they established for this new world#which is somethign that will never let me go#you had such a good world build there#you could have gone in so many directions forward#and isntead you go backwards while trampling over the previous game#argh im doing it again#its just so frustrating#you could have been the chosen one#;__;#im calling it the pokemon problem#so much potential thrown out the window again and again for something mediocre but with hints that give you a taste of greatness#greatness that will never be truly taken advantage of

as a female engineering student i am so grateful to have representation like poppy li. too many “woman in stem” characters are, on top of being really smart, also really cool and really pretty but POPPY is a piece of shit, awkward as hell, egotistical little gremlin addicted to candy, power, and validation. she is the smartest person at mythic quest and also the weirdest person you’ve ever met. i love her so much
#she is so me#no but on a serious note it’s actually very refreshing#she’s pretty but it’s not a character trait. she’s smart but she’s not humble about it.#she doesn’t diminish her talents because she’s POPPY FUCKING LI lead engineer at mq and she knows she’s smart! she knows she’s awesome!#she’s proud of it and she wants more! she knows she’s equal (or better) than ian and fights for her rights in the game instead of just —#—being the cool humble laidback hot token woman in stem who only exists to hook up w the main character and then solve some overly —#—complicated problem once and then stand back in the shadows while the male main character resumes his place at the top#like shes so fucking awkward and weird and real and i love her so much i love her SO MUCH#what an amazing character design#i love your work megan ganz#mythic quest#poppy li

now THIS is so much better
#I am so productive today wtf#wip#ooooh evil cosmic serpent I finally simplified him enough to draw properly#one problem is that his serpentine head is still hard to draw but I love it#I am gonna fight him if not in game then in art#just a side note if his design changes from this sketch - that's because I am a moron and I am working on it

She/her, 65 moons, cis molly
#Zelda (cat)#<- so it doesn't go in the fandom tags of the game lmao#Loner#honeyclan#<- the save file she's from. I'm gonna say she lives nearest to them#warrior cats oc#warriors oc#kiri’s clangen#clangen#She also doesn't have the chest spot on her sprite but I thought she looked better with it so. Y'know#I made her fur so massive but I need it to be known that the rest of her is massive as well. She's jut very large#also I HAVE RETURNED TO THIS BLOG!!! Can't say how regular activity here will be but I'm queueing this on thursday to go up on friday#and I've got three more finished cats to go up the three days after that. We'll see how many more I draw before the queue runs out#I'm doing hermit-a-day-may over on my main blog and I'm coming up on the end of the schoolyear so I may be mostly swamped until summerish#but I'd like to pick back up with posting these during the summer. I have some ideas for a comic that I'd like to do but I haven't written-#-it out yet becuase I want to get these designs done first and I think I'm about halfway through all the cats I have? across 5 different-#-clans two of which are very large so. Mass extinction events will be on once I start playing moons again!!#anyways sorry for rambling but I'm very proud of my next few designs. I think I've found a good method for doing them quickly. It involves-#-using actual reference images for the poses lmao#EDIT I lied I'm not even close to halfway#I've got 66 out of 181 done meaning I have 115 left#jesus fucking christ ITS FINE it's fine it's just a lot. not a problem though#I can pick up the pace after this next month or two#it's chill
