I think some of the recent low poly posts went missing

Woah, look awesome!

I love the style used in CGs from old school PC-98 VNs. I’ve been wanting to get into them ever since reading 16-bit Sensation. I think the fictional company in the manga(Alcohol soft) is even supposed to be a a reference to Demon City’s devs (Cocktail soft).

Thanks! Funny you should mention that. I’m slowly making my way through Pixel Logic and this was a small project to reinforce the color chapter.

Final palette

Damn dude, that hair always turns out awesome

A flower unplucked is but left to the falling, And nothing is gained by not gathering roses.

My mom bringing home a grocery bag full of dinosaurs toys from a yardsale. I had to be like 4.

We have the same experience then XD

In my experience, the learning curve felt similar to Dwarf Fortress.

For starters, there’s the Guidebook and the Wiki.

You probably also want to keep a Keyboard Reference handy.

This guy has a full run you can watch,(or not, that’s LOOONG)

For me, I think it was just a combination of watching people play and banging my head against it until things start to sort of make sense. Kind of like dwarf fortress lol.

Firefox and Nethack

Is there something in particular that you’re looking for?

Jeez, looking back, that lighting was all over the place. Updated.

XD Yeah, it was definitely different! Tarot cards are super tall. Like a 6:11 Ratio lol

Awesome work! I really like the idea of having to use the item flavor text to solve the puzzles

Woah, the hair is crazy good.

I’m not very experienced, so someone can probably correct me, but from what I’ve seen there’s quite a few options. Technically, with the right settings, you can use Gimp or Krita. There’s Piskel, which is open source and I think there’s an offline build. Also, I’ve never used it before, but there’s an open source fork of Aseprite called Libresprite.

Lospec has a good list of software(proprietary & open source ) HERE

PopOS

Also, probably the best community of any PT out there.

The department head was an absolute bag of dicks. This guy was so bad, you would think that he was doing a bit or something. He would use company resources for his side projects and would constantly try and get us to work on one of his dipshit app ideas. He would find any excuse to travel to remote sites so he could cheat on his wife with the local sex workers, and worse, would drag us around with him as his entourage or some shit. He would stand behind us and watch us while we worked. Every few days he would partially read an article espousing some new technology and then give us shit for not using it.

We generally learned to work around his shenanigans and even got pretty successful at self managing and knocking out projects, but after a while he decided to show us all who’s boss and siloed us completely. The whole team left within a month of each other.

On a side note, to this day, the lead dev from that team is my absolute biggest hero. That dude bore the brunt of the dep head’s stupidity, kept us sane, kept us on task, let us vent, managed projects, dealt with customers, and was an all around awesome guy.

Summoner. Originally had it on ps2, now on steam. I pick it up every few years, but have never finished it.
