Workflow :
Not a bad begining, but somehow i felt like i did barely nothing last week.. but tbh was still on my leave for half of the week, so, should brush this aside.
This week i'll continue the comm sketch series And work on the Tristana one page monthly. I'll keep this one fairly sketchy but colored! Next week we attack the Rewards!
Might also work on the Gobi 80k this week, when i'll take some time for my personal stuff. I'll see how it turn out, Got to jump back on the Lightbomb CYOA too, maybe more next week for this one!
Gravity Falls
So, after the blast that have been The Owl House it made me go and look at Gravity falls, actually it's my second attempt, i tried a few years before, but, watched first 2 episodes and , was fun, but didn't sticked.
TBH first season was fun, a lot of fun but wasn't what i looked for, and then end of S 1 arrived, more story driven things and season 2 is a blast for the moment, only at the first 1/4 for now.
So, quite fun to watch seriously! While watching it, it made me think a LOT of Eerie Indiana, i saw it as a kid and the show Stuck with me for decades! And was for a reason it made me think of it, the creator of Gravity Falls basicly said he wanted to make his own Eerie Indiana with the show. So, if you liked Gravity falls, go give it a look, it's a quite wonderfull gem of the 90s. I heard it's visible on prime in the US. Anyway, once i'm done with Gravity Falls, ll jump on Amphibia, gotta do the whole pirating tough for it, for an obscure reason the show is in sort of diffusion right hell in most of europe, season 1 is findable on some networks, but S 2 and 3 are like visible nowhere! You literally have to pirate it to see them if you live in France :/
Stupid, i pay netflix, prime, Disney + and the shoiw had been on all 3 in the last 5 years always jumping from one to the other until they all stopped to air it X)
Anyway, it's the next show on my list. Got Jentry Chow also on my radar for after! Lot of possibility, it's good to feel the passion for animated show again. As an artist always found more connection to those than with live actions X)
Goon Shooter?
Well it's a joke i saw online, but some of the peoples on the discord recomanded me this game, beyond Citadel and i Dled it and, one of the joke online is to nickname it a goon shooter.
So.. what is it?
First, it's really anime. Like Those anime ala Evangelion with over mystique and cryptic background, and in the end the solution is "god betrayed us and do we have a soul?" (dunno tough, didn't finished the game yet, but.. hell, the story clearly seems to go there)
You play an "angel" who is an anime girl/robot/biologic woman, who fight against monsters and forces of earth that try to forbid you to clean the planet by good ol Exterminatus.
The hero is literally wearing a string bikini armor, all the peoples you fight are in fact anime girl, game is kinda the creators not disguised, fetish about guro and cute anime girls..
So... Why is it good?
It is cause, first it's an old school looking FPS, think doom 1 and 2 era, but with better graphism tbh, and before all... the gunplay is actually insane.
Ok exemple, you got a gun and a spare cartridge clip, you can recharge your weapon by clicking R... Or you can click X to remove the clip actually in, wait a few second that you fill it back with bullet, press R to shove it inside and then cock the gun .
When you shoot with the shootgun, you got to cock the new cartridge in, if you want to shoot, etc etc. Basicly it's realistic balistic weapons use in an old school fps, and it work. Ennemies aren't that deadly in medium difficulty, really manageable, i'm not good and died like twice in 5 h of game, but damn, nothing make your spine chill and you sware "SHIT" when you click and notice, you forgot to cock your handgun before shooting and now you're a target in plain sight.
The game is Packed with high tension moment like this, and it really make it shine.
It's not perfect, but it's fun, and with a lot of weird and sometimes surprising mechanics. Like, damage on ennemies are localized, shoot an ennemy in the belly, she fall on her knee, her bowel out, clearly heavy breath, was like "ok she's a gonner" walked away and.. she shot me in the back! Those fuckers when not dead, have an animation to reach their side arms and keep shooting you. It's.. actually clever, i'm not an asshole i don't wanna finish a fighter already on the ground, rather leave them a chance (and damn bullets can run dry sometimes) but by making some being an issue behind, it force you to finish the ones still able to fight, or just leave the area and pray you won't have to fall back at 1HP from the next room.
Small stuff like that.. made me like the game way more than i thinked. So.. maybe give it a look, there's a demo availlable on steam if you wanna take it a look!
That's about it!
Thanks for reading this far and c ya soon!
