DECOMPRESSED: Galaxy's Greatest Detective launches today

I'll be launching the sequel to DECOMPRESSED: Nuke Ops (and the continuation of the general Decompressed story) today. As always, readers are encouraged to visit the DECOMPRESSED Discord for the fastest updates. Various off-Discord archives will be created and their contents will be archived on a delay.

Thank you for reading.

Rethinking Decompressed Spaces

I’m not very good at environments, and I’d like to get much better. But I’m even worse at isometric ones, and while I’d love to get better at environments in general, I don’t think I want to develop that type in particular. With that in mind, now that a second Decompressed will be releasing soon, I've now got an opportunity to try out new styles. I've also got an opportunity to cut costs on time, effort, and skill.

Now that I know a bit more about what I can do, I can shift my methods to produce better backgrounds with better composition and better demands on my time. Sierra and Lucasarts games have always been a clear and present influence over the genre I'm working with, but through some study of their techniques, and infusing it with some study of common stick-animation environmental techniques, I'm getting a better handle on things. The isometric look is decent for a highly gamified story about houses, but there's a reason it's a poor fit for others.

There's not a lot that I can show off immediately, but so far progress is going well. Have a small sampler at least.

Whatever way things develop, Decompressed's new story will need to feel more cramped, more condensed, more thoughtful. This gives me space to annotate the environment, as well as a lack of space to emphasize the clutter and run-down nature of the locale. It may not be the technique I finally go with, but it's worth exploring.

The world's most commercial holiday. 

Oh, now, now, McCherub. You should appreciate what you have. We're not all so lucky. 

Sometimes I think you prefer being alone. 

We all have to live with our decisions, Tim. Oh man this is so painful. McGee is being weird. He prefers being alone? No he doesn´t! The love of his life just misguidedly decided she is bad and decided to live in seclusion to not do any more harm to anybody else. And she is now alone raising their daughter while Tony is alone in DC missing her while trying to move on.

Damn those three years were tough. Not to mention what came after.

Can I get stuck in a decompression chamber with Brett and David McCallum for purely scientific reasons. 

OK, my reasons are not so pure.

When I was stalling out on original Decompressed, I partially crafted this segment for a fight that was going to occur. I rather liked it. I sadly can’t really achieve these results in a reasonable timeframe for new Decompressed, but I still think fondly about this type of work.
