I'm Angelo, I like dumb stuff

My friend is going through Fire Emblem fever, so I decided to make a song using sound bites from her the coolest dude, and the coolest chick - Ryouma and Scarlet.

Enjoy!

50 followers! Wheee! Thank you. Thank you 50 times. I have a special treat for you ♥

You don’t even want to know how long I spent ripping this. The vocal samples don’t play in sound test because of how the game works (see below). I had to rip and manually sequence every single one on top of a separate rip of the backing track. I tried to correct the originally sloppy timing of the clips in my resequenced version, not to mention the quality of this rip is at least twice as good as anything else I could find on the internet.

Was it worth it? I guess that’s for you to decide. Personally, I think the ability to hear this in high quality on demand has made the Earth a slightly happier place.

Independent of all this, of course, it is a rare treat indeed to hear an FM piece with vocals. While this was technically possible on the Mega Drive, pinball machines were actually purpose-built to be able to play myriad voice clips. Presumably due to space constraints, you have this call and response with the Black Knight using voice clips that were already used during gameplay anyway. How charmingly efficient. Interesting how technology shapes art, no?

You’ve got the power! (Ha ha ha ha ha ha!) You’ve got the might! (No way!) Get ready for battle! (Give me your money!) Beat the Black Knight! (Ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

Update: Brian Schmidt has confirmed in Youtube comments that Mr. Ritchie (the game’s designer) did co-compose with him on Black Knight 2000. I had originally neglected to credit him because his name does not appear in the credits printed onto the cabinet itself.

Ever since I began my Tropes vs Women in Video Games project, two and a half years ago, I’ve been harassed on a daily basis by irate gamers angry at my critiques of sexism in video games. It can sometimes be difficult to effectively communicate just how bad this sustained intimidation campaign...

so for those who missed this stream:

i was porting the HD Remix laundry pool textures from pj64 to Dolphin and while doing so cleaned up most of the area to bring it closer to the hybrid style i’m going for. i do like the original but its a bit too WW for MM ¯\( ◕ ◡ ◕ ) /¯

(the pink hair’s just me messing around (づ￣ ³￣)づ )

[alo81]

Oooof.  That ground texture.

What if Majora’s Mask was visually done in the style similar to its promotional art, the pitch black shading?

Software used ~Maya, Photoshop, After Effects~

Hypatia’s MM HD Remix video

(make sure to watch in HD)

no point in being vague anymore: the secret project is Majora’s Mask

after working on Wind Waker for so long i wanted to take all i’ve learnt about painting textures and environmental design to try completely changing the art style of another game (this was actually started before Mario Craft 64)

anyway as much as it’s clearly influenced by WW’s texture styles i’ve tried to make sure to capture the essence of what makes Majora’s Mask.. well… Majora’s Mask

so in that respect it’s much more of a hybrid style especially as there are multiple parts of the design influenced by various games throughout the series …as well as things i just happen to love (i’m looking forward to showing off the pause screen)

and yeah my MM redesign stuff (most of which isn’t public) has ended up influencing the style of the game

"y’know what gamers are shitlords. gamers are fucking entitled little shits". Do you not play video games? Is this not the blog you've used to show off a mod you made for a GAME? Do you not consider yourself a gamer? cause according to the dictionary, a Gamer is: "a person who plays a game or games". So with that statement in mind, please realize that you just called yourself, and anyone who stands with you about sexism in video games, who plays games: "Fucking Entitled Little Shits". Nice.

gamers are shitlords. gamers are fucking entitled little shits

[alo81]

I can't believe people still use "Well actually the dictionary definition states!!!" in arguments.

HI i get stuttering when using this texture pack and i have a high spec computer

i assume you mean the 1-2 second pauses that happen when new areas are loaded? those cant really be fixed because its just dolphin loading the textures. you’d have to find a way to shrink the textures file sizes even more to stop it from happening

[alo81]

Actually, counter-intuitively, you would probably get less stuttering if you allowed the textures to be LESS compressed.  

It usually takes longer for programs to work with compressed images than raw, unedited ones.  You would probably be better off - in regards to loading - if you were to stick with the high file size, less compressed textures.  

This doesn't mean higher resolution, just less compressed same size images.

Someone was able to mod Demon’s Souls, and demonstrate unused content by swapping enemy models. It’s primarily a cosmetic change so we only get to see their models and some of their animations. Otherwise their stats/ AI/ placement should all be based on the enemies they’re replacing.

It gives...

Playstation WW HUD pack as requested. Download Link

it’s intended to be used with the main hi-res texture pack

[alo81]

Oh jeeze this just reminded me that after you first replied to that asker, I ended up making a Playstation Buttons icon pack that I was gonna send you to temporary use since you couldn't make it at the time.  I went to bed that night saying "Awesome, I can upload and send it over in the morning" aaaaaand I completely forgot to do it.  

sorry about that!

[kcggggg]

lost again!!!!!!!

Remember that one time FromSoftware let Nomura (of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts fame) design a boss in Dark Souls 2? Me too!
