Campfire fest day 6: space station

Spoiler talk below!

@outerwilds-events

When I was thinking about what I wanted to draw for this, I thought about what hatchling must have felt when they realized the Sun station wasn’t the source of the loop, and all I could think about was just the disappointment and the despair in knowing that they would have to start all over on their theory. When I reached the Sun station I was sure it was the end of the game, but it wasn’t.. so yeah, this it’s kinda meant to be a moment of disappointment and sorrow, but the warm vibes of the sun station made it a little hard to show.

Idaea’s skeleton also just makes me so sad. Sometimes I like to just stand next to him and spend my last moments by him so he doesn’t have to be alone this time

The Sun

[tojisun]

(word vomit; just thinking about simon having a cute crush 🥹)

simon’s known for being over-prepared.

boy scout riley, price endearingly calls him. it’s not even that far from the truth—he’s always got an extra shirt or shorts or boxers packed in his car, with a standard medicine kit and trauma blankets. he’s even got a tire repair kit tucked in his trunk and, hell, an extra tire packed in one of his bigger trucks. he’s even developed the habit of always having his tank close to full because they can never know when a drive-out turns into a four-day trip.

point is that simon ensures that he is always prepared for anything.

so imagine their surprise when they catch simon frequenting a far-away petrol station; always at eleven in the evening, and always during the weekdays.

once in a week was a standard trip, twice was lips-pursing, but five times? that one is a notable pattern.

so they shadow him; price picking up the lads in his truck to stalk simon. they follow at a decent distance, opting about three cars between simon’s rover and price’s truck to avoid suspicion and hopefully throw simon off the idea that they’re on his tail.

what? price is not at fault for wanting to uncover what the hell was simon really after from that esso.

well, it wasn’t a what, per se, but a who—and it was a sleep-deprived clerk who looks about two caffeine cups away from a meltdown.

they watch the way simon prepays his petrol so that he can talk to you. hs hits you up with a careful greeting, one that unfurls your grumpy face into a genuine smile. and this, price realizes it for what it is—you and simon are familiar with each other.

so this means that whatever this thing you and simon have was happening for a while now.

interesting. price thinks as he hauls johnny and kyle back to his truck to give simon and his cute little crush their privacy.

very, very interesting.

He's not used to the attention (but he kinda likes it)

I figured out how to export my pixel art with a higher quality but tumblr may still crunch it

Experiment time with my 4 outer wilds pieces so far

The Giving Tree - Optimized

Surprise! We are not dead yet and today we have a big optimization update! This update reduces the "The Giving Tree" set in size by more than 50% (106 to 36,2 MB). You also get a cute little bag planter which doubles as a Texture Main. (Surfaces -> Misc)

Technical details: Each tree consists of 4 files: sapling, growing, mature and felled. Because of the way the files have been optimized, you have to make sure that you do not delete the sapling file for the trees you use. Trees are standalone, but the sapling is always required. As is the planter bag.

As a manual has not been written (yet), you can find more information about this set and its usage at The Keep

Update instructions: All files have been modified and renamed, please REMOVE all old files.

One of the coolest things outer wilds does is it’s final act (at least in the order I played) paradigm shift that makes you realize that you’re not in the story you thought you were in. Warning for spoilers ahead, and i should make a longer post about this some time, but the realization that this isn’t a story about saving the universe, but of helping it to end? So good man
