considering the recent emphasis that nintendo has had on the social element of gaming (what with the dsiXL being bigger so as to share the experience), I do not think that it will involve eyeholes like the virtual boy. not that anyone implied that yet.
Speaking at the previous points:
@wr: Technically, GTA evolved from over-heard to 3D third-person. It’s just going back and it’s like nostalgia for some people (frankly, I still prefer 3D third-person myself, GTA III FTW).
@DS being a girl console: Totally unfounded. That being said, the Male:Female ratio on the DS is probably almost 1:1. Much more even than pretty much every other console that has existed – I wouldn’t put the Wii that far behind. Nintendo have definitely done a great job on opening up the market to other players that would have never played games previously.
@negativeinfinity: Haha, well that much is a given. Though it’s a good point that 3d screens usually have a limited viewing angle (the opposite of the DS:XL). Though the current screens out there have I believe 6 different viewing angles, so you can be on the side of the screen, you just still have to be in the proper place. A bit harder to do when someone else is holding and moving the system…
Not much else to say that hasn’t been said better elsewhere.
I really started creating digital content once I got my first Mac, a now ancient PowerBook G4 (clocked slower than my current phone, imagine that). I first got into Flash games by creating stopmotion animation, and I got into that because I enjoyed video editing, thanks to in no small part by Apple’s focus on media creation with iLife and FireWire (an utter God-sent during the time of DV cameras).
So here’s to (as The Onion playfully puts it) the last American who knew what the heck he was doing.
Sorry for the utter lack of updates on World 3 (though that seems to be the norm nowadays, eh?), keep a heads up, though, Ill be posting some new footage sometime tonight or tomorrow
I’ve been adding all the engine refinements from ME2D back into FPA. Crazy how much better the game looks with character rotational smoothing. No more jitters, yay!
Fancy Pants Man now has 3 separate run cycles, want to add a whole bunch of different jumps too. I’m nuts. Got a lot of animating ahead of me. Good thing I love animating.
So when I’m not doing concept work for World 3, I’ve been playig Super Metroid. Never beat it before, so I figured I should buy it from the Wii VC and do just that. Amazing game. So, I’ve gotten a few emails and such asking about puzzle elements in FPA, nothing overpowering, but what would you guys think of some sort of level or character progression in World 3?
Hey guys, so I’m trying out a new sidebar thingy, something that would allow me to make smaller posts that don’t push down more important posts (like pictures of various pets on my shoulders).
What do you think of the idea? Is the site too thick now? Should I just sell my soul and finally get a twitter to place up here?
