DTEE | commissions open

no stream or art from me tomorrow; not feeling dour, just need to take a day to unwind and plan stuff instead of jumping from task to task 🫡

sonic adventure ends on monday, and we might be starting monster rancher 2 this week!

making sure Sonic Adventure is done in a reasonable amount of time, we're doing an evening stream

it's sonic time

i feel like a lot of people write off the appeal as just a matter of being gory and violent, but man, cool stuff happens even when fighting arcade

the nitty-gritty of it is interesting too; the system is built *against* combos, but can be broken in fun ways to allow for big damage

played Mortal Kombat (Arcade) for the first time and I already crave more

something incredibly goofy and fun about it's system and combos, and I think the live-action look aged well in terms of charm

yeah I'm just a guy in a cheap ninja costume, and that guys me but blue, but CHECK THIS SPEAR OUT

it's international ninja day. let's play some fighting games with ninjas in'em (that's most of them)

alright, I already got some commissions to work for the next few days and I'll accept just a bit more for december with a special price!
can be fan arts or OCs, only busts/icons for now!

next year I'll get back to my regular prices and I'll be free to draw more complex stuff

true, kofmira had just been on the mind
i haven't goofed around with their earlier 3D titles, I really ought to

love me some SamSho Sen and MIRA, but they're post Tekken 5 era 3D rather than the original boom, so I imagine it's a lot different

the problem with being a fighting game artist is that we unfortunately have too many cool characters 😔

if you want a good recommend for a game that's just got a LOT of ideas at once, try ADK's Ninja Master's

the one mechanic most people will gravitate towards is the normal strings, which function closer to later NRS and 3D fighter titles than Capcom target combos. very neat

this thread is definitely not a matter of me getting into the 3D MK era and KOF MIRA recently, no sir

MK4 in particular is very weird to me because it's a fighting game with universal normals-- which, given Mortal Kombat's appeal to casual western crowds, makes a lot of sense

who cares what Liu Kang's down 4 does, check out this sick BICYCLE KICK you're here for the BICYCLE KICK

in particular, the jump to 3D in response to Namco/SEGA's massive success in arcade lead to a lot of interesting titles

just looking at "flagship series", we got Street Fighter EX, KOF Maximum Impact, Mortal Kombat 4/Deadly Alliance, all of which have very different approaches

playing old fighting games makes me appreciate the convergent evolution of mechanics, where devs would take notes of what ideas are popular and try to implement them in their own way (sometimes to improve upon, or just riff)

gives an idea of what developers believed to be their core identity

funny robot warm up
