trust me pinkbot, it is

GG on Project Phantasma as well! I have to say the mission design was definitely a step up from the core game as well as the introduction of the Arena becomes half of this series appeal is cool. Onwards to Master of Arena!

Just finished Armored Core 1 on duckstation with a mouse injector for proper wasd-mouse play. Besides the 22 frame limiter and a really badly designed mission it was great! Exporting save to go through its two sequels. I am always so impressed by fans that revamp these old classics for ease of use.

I love how Alien Vendetta looks

Immolation don't have bad material, and they shifted style over time without losing it. Always one of the more serious death metal listens without having to do silly gimmicks. It's like comparing gourmet steak with mcdonalds happy meal

Not even on the same level

the game plays a little like Raven's Cyclones, as in, you move with the keyboard and strafe with additional keys on the keyboard and the mouse actively aims on parts of the screen, the viewport doesn't move with mouse movement, giving it a feel halfway between a doom clone and a mechwarrior type

some shots from little known fps/interactive movie Assassin 2015 for win 95. Somehow the art direction really works, here, but the game has some critical issues in terms of design that make it hard to approach even on its own terms

lovely warm tones, you've done really well with this study. Be careful of making a portrait 'more face than head', we all struggle with this because facial features are so important to reading an expression.

WIP of tile assets for a classic SRPG. Tiles are 32x32 pixels. Two villages. One of them is pillaged.

Painting of my character, Pudgy Horse, a horse of baroque type appearance with luxuriant mane and tail, and deliberately exaggerated proportions, including short, slender legs with dainty hooves and an extremely generous girth; here painted in tribute to one of the famous horses in the Lascaux cave paintings using similar colours and simplified shapes.

#PudgyHorse Lascaux Tribute 2. A companion piece to the first, following one of the other cave horses with a darker colour morph. Again, painted with pigments made by Mary Sanche from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020.

Indeed they do, but it always is a good investment of time to get better at Doom II stuff I find, it's been very rewarding for me.

we're little monkeys making these complicated sounds at each other and we pull these serious faces, we're a very funny creature if you don't focus on all the pain and suffering

I agree and I hope their next game is AC7. Hope you're experiencing the glory that is mouse and keyboard controls, btw
