You're looking at it from the perspective of PC gaming, but you need to compare it to console games at the time. It's big competition at the time was games like Goldeneye or Turok. One of the big pulls at the time was that this was one of the first FPS games that also let you drive vehicles.

I've been a THPS fan for as long as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater has existed. Some of the OG devs from the neversoft days are building their own THPS style game, and I love the vibe. It's early AF, but I'm super rooting for them.

Swordnik 21: Ring

Two particular rings I like are Orbital Rings and Chakrams, so this design combines ✨BOTH✨

Also, figuring out how to rig a chakram to be animated was fun.

Swordnik 17: Gem

Okay so this one is a bit more dear to my heart. Two years ago I made some Gem-based designs for Swordtember 2023 that I REALLY loved. This one is another in that same line!

Thanks for reading, I hope to build other fun things like this but who knows when I'll have time haha. YouTubers who can crank out projects like this are a different breed.

Overall, this was my first "big" print. And I learned a ton in the finishing process for a 3d print. Usually I've made things with a specific job in mind, so having this be purely aesthetic was a challenge. I learned a lot about PPE for this stuff too. The cats hated this costume though.

I live in Seattle, and trying to find days when it's not raining to paint this thing outside was impossible so I made this silly paint booth. Box fan pulling air through an air filter with a hole cut in the box. Simple and effective. I do wish I used a bigger box though.

The USB cord for this is an old iPhone cable that the lightning tip broke on. When building this guy I designed a channel to route the cable through, and used that to hang the bits while they were drying.

The lamp itself was 3d printed, painted, and mostly glued together. I used the front lens of one of these party lights that I had that broke. I copied how the lens attached to the original part and modeled that into my lightbulb design. Then stuffed it full of fairy lights.

This was my first print where I had to split big pieces up and print them separately, and then join them to look good. It's not perfect, but I'm happy enough with it. Lots of sanding and filling and painting and sanding and filling and painting and..... It felt like forever.

I modeled the lakitu based off of pixeljeff1995's rad Mario lofi scene. The kiddo and I had the Mario Lofi mix on during reading time and he said he thought the lamp was super cool, and so I tried to build it.

Dudes will look at this and say "hell yeah"

Tumblr post that reads: kill the imposter syndrome in your head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Saw this and thought my oomfs' feeds could use this

sure I'm worried about losing my job and the recession and politics and burnout and planes and illness and not having a place to live when everything inevitably crashes

BUT I crocheted a little frog in overalls so

YouTube video by Llama Juice Rebuilding THPS 3's Foundry

I put out a youtube video talking a bit more about it and showing the map. I feel bad throwing away all this work without being able to share it anywhere, so I appreciate you reading along. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwyD...

Obviously, I didn't finish this project. When the teasers for 3+4 were coming out my motivation was being destroyed, and at this point it feels worthless to continue on it. But, I had a good time working on it and I learned a ton.

It was super neat to look at the old art and re-imagine what it might be in a modern style. I spent a ton of time researching metal foundries and seeing how they work and what they look like and feel like.

I was working on a remake of THPS 3's Foundry before the 3+4 news dropped. Turned my excitement for the new game into a weird bittersweet feeling. Obviously I'm stoked for the remake, but I was looking forward to finishing my project as well. The goal was to release it as a THPS1+2 mod.

Welcome to my mechanical rigging master class

I've been working on remastering THPS 3's Foundry level for the past month or so as a fan project, and now seeing that they're doing it for real is so exciting and such a motivation killer.

It'll definitely be interesting to see how their artists interpreted it differently than I have been.

Was working on a project a while back that needed to deal with rare trading cards. Learning that there's a small piece of cardboard worth more than my entire bloodline is sobering. That 1952 Mickey Mantle card sold for 12.6 million dollars.

Kiddo asked for pancakes this morning.

Turnip man: Our world has broken apart, and that puts us all in unprecedented peril.

What we used to take for granted is falling through the cracks.

Like people that used to say hello in the morning.

Or laughter among friends throughout the day.

NOT NOW NINTENDO JEEZ I wanna play my silly Mario game you don’t have to do this

If you made it this far, thanks a ton for reading along. I hope this was interesting to you. I had a ton of fun running through this stuff and this is the sort of stuff that I plan on sharing here. Follows and shares are super appreciated!
