Elemental - War of Magic
http://www.elementalgame.com/gameplay
I'm intrigued by this game. It seems to be a turn-based strategy/RPG hybrid, half in the style of Disciples, half in the style of The Guild. I've never quite seen a game like this; usually you're either forced into a tactical strategy mode, with units to move around and cities to protect, but this game takes it one step further, and you actually have a presence in the world, sort of like having a Hero unit, except it's much more like a traditional RPG fare with quests to pick up and NPCs to interact with. But more than that, you're apparently able to build up a dynasty, like in The Guild, by marrying, having children and engaging in diplomacy.
And apparently they've built it with both older and newer hardware in mind, and even support modding.
I'm getting this game!
Haunted Shores (FF7)
My god.
Words can't describe the feelings this track evokes in me. Incredibly nostalgic; a masterful cover of one of the most iconic musical scores in videogame history. I've heard plenty of covers before, but none remain so faithful to the original and yet deliver such a powerful, distinct sound.
FF7 holds a special place in my heart; this gave me fangasms!
Short Jokes
You know, going over old project files, after having not set eyes upon them for quite a long time, I've started to notice a few things. A few... flaws, shall we say, in what I considered (at the time) to be acceptable to the standards of a perfectionist such as I.
...So, why did nobody ever tell me that my Raptors look like they're always squatting down to take a crap on the floor?
Seriously! Look at this!
I mean, I can sorta understand how I missed it myself, having spent countless long hours staring at these shapes and fussing over the tiniest details of position and movement, but... good grief! Are those stubby little things legs, or is this a dinosaur torso balanced on a couple of chicken drumsticks? Its body is so close to the ground that its forelimbs are almost dragging in the dirt.
And that neck... it's so misshapen and ugly. And how I ever convinced myself that the join between the torso and tail was good enough to not warrant more tweaking, I will never ever know.
Well, thank god for improvement. Dare I say, the latest attempts at this sort of creature have been far less goofy-looking. But I'm sure, in a few months time I'll come back to it and wonder what the heck I was smoking when I thought this looked good, either.
The fact that nobody else picked up on the squatty legs, though, is just odd. When something looks that bad, I expect to be told about it!
