John dalton: sketch variations How you index sort a set of start points for a sketch can dramatically effect how it looks when you connect the points in sequence. Trying out some different variations available in the path start control panel of the paint synthesizer.

It's time for my once in a year post to say that I've made a special video to celebrate my channel reaching 1K views on a single video for the first time.

Special thanks to a certain friend of mine for making the thumbnail...

You’ve got an angel in your door

//Maybe you just never see him

You’ve got a demon in your head

//Maybe you should go and slay him

Got the fire in your shoes

//Make it whisper, you can feed it

Time for another Night Cap! Gonna have another glass of Synthetik 2 and get my Breacher to level 20!

I bought Synthetik after watching Ssethtzeentach's video on it. I have not yet been disappointed by that purchase. Sure I haven't BEATEN the game yet, either, but I have a damn fun time losing at it.

Recently, I also procured Highfleet because, after listening to "Tanc a Lelek" approximately 30 times and watching Sseth's video on the game maybe 5 times, I finally decided to actually buy the game.

It is not an easy game.

I have played a total of 73 minutes but it's clear to see that I am hilariously bad at it. It's a damn fine game, I'm just dogshit. It certainly doesn't help how my computer struggles to stomach even Highfleet's lowest performance settings.

Anyway, just thought I'd post my thoughts, and maybe get some tips from readers?

What are the inspirations for the show? I get a lot of Gundam vibes

Gundam is absolutely a huge inspiration for ATYK. Specifically Gundam Thunderbolt (which was the 'required watching' for everyone on the show).

Armored Core, even though it came out mid-production definitely pulled us back into the mech genre - perfect timing there.

Believe or or not System Shock 2, which I finished playing right when I started writing the show in earnest played a big part in the tone I wanted to take with the 'horror' segments.

Star Trek Deep Space 9: Particularly its depiction of how remote outposts of a larger "good" government can be neglected, and in turn begin to form their own moral judgements in the field.

But the biggest inspiration, and the spark for the whole show and it's yet-to-happen climax is this song by Justice.

I listened to this song in ~2016 and imagined *something happening*. The entire campaign is essentially working back from there. Of course, there's no guarantee it will happen. But at this point, some things feel inevitable. That's as much as I can say!

EXTRA SHOUTOUTS WITH NO EXPLANATION: Dead Space, Citizen Sleeper, Disco Elysium, Signalis, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Prey, Warhammer 40:000, Pathologic 2, Factorio, Risk of Rain, SYNTHETIK, SOMA, Space Station 13, and most importantly you the listener.

(Okay I'm done going through my steam library and listing everything that ever resonated with me)

SYNTHETIK 2 RANT

Ok, so. A while back, a couple of german college students got tired of the fact that there were no shooters with realistic gunplay mechanics. So they made a demo with manual ejecting and reloading, tons of gritty stats for guns, ammunition types with unique stats, nerd shit like that, and slapped the system onto a topdown 2d run and gun about being the last member of the human resistance taking down the robot government. And this game slapped. I cannot stress enough how cool and satisfying the gameplay was, how cool the art direction and sound design was. It all just worked.

Then, a couple of years ago, Synthetik 2 released in early access. In the grand tradition of indie games everywhere (Risk of Rain) they made the jump from 2d to 3d for the sequel. Along with that, they changed a lot of the core systems, added lots of modding support, and kept the gunplay mechanics basically untouched because that was their fucking bread and butter.

Now, I wasn't a fan at first. But it's been a while, they've gone through a few updates, and most of the initial bugs and issues I had have been ironed out. So I decided to pick it up again on a whim, and holy shit everything else apart this game is so fucking COOL.

You don't even understand how sick a standard run of this game is. The class I'm focusing on at the moment is the Chrono Trooper, a motherfucker who stole tech from the time police department of the robo government and is returning said tech with interest. Now, at the beginning of the game, you've got your standard class abilities? Y'know, normal shit like mobility and defence and offensive options. The Chrono Trooper has, all from the literal first level:

A teleportation movement ability wherein telefragging opponents into showers of scrap metal is not only possible, but encouraged.

A fucking bubble of slowed time you can pop at any point to just walk around bullets.

As an offensive option, a fucking skyrim shout of power that drains all your shields in return for what's functionally a wave of pure nuclear fusion at whichever robots are in the general direction you're facing.

FUCKING DUEL WIELDING PISTOLS.

This is fucking level 1! Before you even get into any of the bullshit with items and weapons and And the best part? THIS IS LIKE MY FOURTH FAVOURITE CLASS. THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM.

In Conclusion: Fucking buy Synthetik 2 already god dammit I want someone to play co-op with and there is no game on earth cooler than this one.

Game ive been working on for a while. DarkEyesIllusionist on X: "heres my project that i made in 2022. im trying to recreate it in unity and make it better. its been a hard long road but i will get there. https://t.co/pbZXjDPoXI" / X

I wanted to make a top down shooter thats fast paced and keeps the player engaged in a "flow" state. synthetik was one of the best games i have ever played and i wanted to recreate it or make something like it. so far i just threw in some genestealer looking zombies and demons from starcraft and doom. it overall was a pretty fun shitty little flash game. if you want to play it here you go: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/701132679 its buggy, broken, and barely works. but i hope its fun.

The cold weather here is wonderful, it really is.. I missed it as the heat makes me overheat way to easily — however I miss the rain, both heavy and light.. There’s something about an overcast rainy day that makes everything better.
