2XKO and improving fighting game tutorials 2XKO just launched in early access! Itโ€™s a lot of fun and I like it, but Iโ€™m not hard to please: I am, after all, a long-time fighting gameโ€ฆ

2XKO has a lot of mass appeal, but does it succeed in capturing the interest of players new to the genre ?
No! And that's a shame!

Check out my thoughts on 2XKO and how to improve fighting game tutorials if you're curious

Alright, due to popular demand, let's start talking about the

Here's a ๐Ÿงต with the process and tech behind the fur on our fluffy Calicorns:

I worked on a similar figure project (17cm, 10 limited copies, fully assembled and painted) as part of rewards for a Kickstarter. They were equivalent to 50โ‚ฌ. Planned to reprint and sell them 80โ‚ฌ after the Kickstarter end.
Felt 80 was a good balance between affordability and profitability

If Unreal can switch to Y up, America can switch to the metric system.

Decided to check out how water is rendered in Counter-Strike 2.

Given how interactive water in CS2 is, I expected to see some cellular fluid simulation, but turns out they just use a low-resolution off-screen buffer with flat 2D decals used for various aspects of water. Reminds me of HL2 water :)

A pixel art reimagining of Southern Face Shrine boss room, seen from above. The arena is surrounded by brick, curved walls; the structure is encircled by by stained glass windows atop each side. The central window showcases the Wind Fish Effigy.
As the glass and candles create an iridescent atmosphere in the arena, Link is ready to face the colossal Armos Knight, as they both wield a sword and a shield.
Behind the mighty foe, a stone face carved into the wall can be seen: its mouth opens into a dark corridor, leading to the innermost sanctum and its dark secrets.

A dim-lighted crypt, with giant ominous statues and many scattered bones and tombs around. An archway made of stacked bones surmounts the central room, with a giant and intricate sarcophagus. The stone coffin opens, revealing a shapeshifting substance that transforms into a flying demon, before melting again and closing its lid behind.

Pixel Art picture featuring the pokemon Blacephalon, standing on a fence atop an old-looking japanese-like coastal town at night. The crescent moon shines bright, its relection shimmering in the bay. A fantastic Luna Park is seen in the distance, right above the water, with its many towers, a ferry wheel also reflected in the calm, dark waters. The starry sky is illuminated by fireworks.

With all that Ghibli stuff, it kinda grinds my gears to see Miyazaki's reaction misattributed to genAI; the 75-year-old guy was shown a human-like character being dragged around like a zombie, so he referred to it as an "insult to life itself" in regards to his disabled friend, which made sense

Forgot to update, but I did this animation inspired from Spirited Away's little heads (apparently called Kashira) after clearing the 3rd chapter of the course.
I'm not an animator but was pretty fun to make !
