Vulpes Absurda

I have tomorrow off so I'd be down for another go at it. And thanks to a series of random late night occurrences I know have a pretty good idea of how to run the Crota raid on hard mode if anyone wants to give that a go next weekend.

I would love to get a weekly thing going every saturday. Even it's just enough people to run the nightfall and weekly. I had a ton of fun doing those with Urkle and Hawkguy today.

I'm on right now trying to level some stuff up for the raid if anyone wants to join me. I'm IHateDRM75 on PSN, just tell me you're from here if you send me an invite.

I prefer first person, but I don't have anything against third person, and prefer it for things like Dark Souls and Bayonetta.

7PM GMT is about 1 PM my time so that's perfect for me, sign me up! And I can likely dig a Gamers With Jobs player or two if we are short.

If I'd seen you were on I would've joined you but I got caught up watching the movie Bronson. Sorry I missed you.

Sure I can do the Nightfall. If I'm being honest with my self I was bound to pick up the DLC at some point anyways so I may as well just do it. Any particular time that people want to start?

Ok so what going on with the raid this weekend? Last time I saw suggested was 9PM PDT Saturday, which is maybe a little later then I like given how long these things can go but I can live with it. So is that what we want to go with?

I can do anytime during the weekends but I work nights so I can't do Friday.

Before I forget again I'm IHateDRM75 on PSN if anyone wants to add me to their friends list. I'll be on a fair bit this weekend getting ready for next weeks raid. Also since we're looking at doing a raid next weekend would there be any interest in doing the weekly Heroic strike this weekend?

I think 28 was the recommended in November back when I was playing, but I always did fine at 27. Also we are talking about playing on PS4 right? I forgot to ask earlier.

That works for me so long as it's vault of glass not the raid from the first DLC as I don't have that. But if the new DLC is any good I'll just pick up the season pass and grab both.

I'd be up for a raid. I'll probably get back into it when the new DLC comes out so late May early June would be best for me. But so long as I have at least a weeks notice I can be good sooner then that. it would also have to be a weekend as I work nights.

I spent way more time laughing at that then I probably should have.

I wouldn't say I have a strong background in pixel art but if you let me know what you need I can take a stab at it. And even if you go for some else's work that's fine too, I'm just looking for the experience.

Something you might consider is taking some cues from the Battle Ogre series if you go the summoning route with it. Basically those games were RTS/RPGs where you would send groups of units across a map and when two opposing groups met it would open up a window that would show the two groups engaging in combat for two rounds. After the two rounds of combat the groups would be thrown away from each so that if combat didn't go in your favor you could retreat and actually have a chance of getting away. You might want to ditch the combat window part for sure I would think, but overall I think it would be a good way to give the player control over several monsters and not overwhelm them. Making the main objective for the player identifying what monster is best for what scenario, with managing the already summoned monsters a secondary goal. Or at least it is in the version of your game the exists in my head. I'm not sure how relevant any of this is to you but for some reason the idea of summoning monsters via sigils brought that series to mind. Here's a Youtube video that shows what I'm talking about:

It doesn't really matter to me if it's much of a roguelike in the traditional sense. The first thing that comes to mind for The Divine Exodus of Snakes to me is Chris Remo politely asking all the snakes in Dublin (Ohio) to leave. While I think An Ancient Evil Awakens would work for something more basic, maybe it's a dungeon crawl where your goal is to stop the Shitty Wizard from taking over the world or something. Or if no one is interested in doing something like that I can go do art for Elvaq's project and whatever else needs some help. That sounds pretty fun as well.

Would you be interested in making a roguelike? if you (or anyone else reading this) are and know any LUA we could likely make something fairly impressive in T-Engine4 http://te4.org/te4 We'd just need a theme to fit it.

Aww thatnks. Though looking at it I remember very vividly thinking that I needed to do some more work on that tail and the back legs. Still pretty happy with it though. I will also say that the sword hat fox version of it was faved on Twitter by both Bombsfall from Night In The Woods and the guy doing Hyper Light Drifter so I've basically won the pixel art version of an Oscar. More or less... So how could you not want me on your team? ;P

I can do some pixel art if anyone is in need of that. The best example of my work is probably my avatar and this fox: I've also drawn things other then foxes but A: Why would you want anything else? and B: I forgot to backup that folder last time I wiped my hard drive. As for what I'd prefer to work on I lean towards things like roguelikes and RPGs but I'm not picky. and if someone wants to make the first rougelike I'm cool with that too. I can also do some writing and design if someone is looking for help with that, but I have less experience there.

I can do art if anyone still needs that. The best examples of my work are my avatar, and this pixel art which is more representative of what you'd get: I've done some other stuff as well but I forgot to save backups before my last hard drive wipe. I can also do some writing and game design, but my codding is rather limited so I doubt I'd be of any help there.

Bloodborne truly is the Vagrant Story successor I've been waiting for. Granted I've only been waiting since 2013 but still.

You can also find weapons with diffrent blood gem slots then the normal versions and the best blood gems can only be found in the chalice dungeons.

Well I just beat it. This is one hell of a game. I beat it thinking I'd done more or less everything and come to find out there's like 6 questlines and about that many bosses that I had no idea were even in thi game! There are enitre mechanics that I had no clue about! For instance: I had no idea at all!

So long as he's putting out the models for free I don't see how this violates any ethics really. He's basically saying "Hey if you like my stuff maybe go throw me a bit of cash and I'll make more of it for everyone to enjoy" as opposed to "Hey give me a dollar and I'll send you this mod file for a burger joint". Not that I necessarily think there's anything inherently wrong with the latter, but it is illegal by my understanding, where as what he's doing now seems more like he's trying to fund himself working on his 3D skills while he looks for another job. With Skylines being the most popular thing that matches his skill set right now. I will say this is extremely weird. And a little sad that we've reached this point in gaming.
