R2 - Pass of Time ('Recess' - new terrain)

Posted by Mejson - April 15th, 2021

Welcome everyone!

It's high time for a new Poster :) As I mentioned for a few days I was creating a new background / terrain that our heroes would explore :P As you can see, this is a kind of 'Recess' that can be used as a secluded / secret place. :P Here's the new Poster - 'Recess' :D

As you can see it's 'Recess' - new terrain, it's somewhere at the bottom - as you can see, where are the different elements / objects... They can certainly be useful for creating many interesting objects / elements. Certainly, a big fantasy on the part of 'Mazurek' will help :) Everyone thinks that the huge strength and killer character of 'Keni' ensures survival... But what is the truth? I think the mind is stronger than the muscles, but not always XD I think you need both :)

Ps. This area is so looong that I had to cut the screen in two! XD The character 'Rash' has been placed there for size comparison :P This little asshole come in handy XD

What do you think about it, @Cyberdevil, @Animetion24, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott?

Regards,

Mejson

@Mejson Did I understand correctly? You prepare playground for Mazurek? :P

Mejson 2021-04-15 11:28:50

Yeah, more like a labor camp... XD LOL

Thanks for comment! We haven't talked for a long time... how are you?

ChordC 2021-04-15 12:40:48

Hmm, it seems like the underground hole down does not seem natural, it seems like he's in a "box" or something, judging by the perpendicular angle of where the ground and the "wall" meet. Maybe try rounding the angle between the wall and the ground, so that it will look more natural. What do you think?

Mejson 2021-04-15 12:40:48

It has to stay that way for many reasons ... too bad you're not thrilled:

- it doesn't have to be "natural", maybe it's a trash pit... but more importantly, it doesn't matter (in the plot or in general),
- a non-flat surface would make it impossible to present in 2D; the characters did not move straight - they would slide (elliptical surface),
- too much work would require,
- with a high zoom (as in this animation) the surfaces look less round.

Thanks for the comment :P

MariogD 2021-04-15 14:30:20

@SayMeBott 'playground for Mazurek' is wonderful phrase. It makes me laugh!

Mejson 2021-04-15 14:30:20

Hehehehe, nice!

MariogD 2021-04-15 14:35:23

@Mejson It looks nice. I agree with @ChordC point but I understand that it is technically hard to achieve. Keep going like that.

Mejson 2021-04-15 14:35:23

Ok, thanks! Difficult... that's an understatement... rather extremely difficult!

Cyberdevil 2021-04-16 06:44:28

Agree with the boxed in feeling too but it does look good! I like those leaves in particular. Nice details.

Mejson 2021-04-16 06:44:28

Well, I don't know if everyone noticed, but we always have there is a wall and a floor which is under the standard account :) This is the only 2D representation. : P I think that otherwise we would lose the correct representation of reality in 2D... unfortunately, such a representation brings with it such limitations.

Thanks for comment! Nice to hear! :D

Cyberdevil 2021-04-16 08:18:44

I suppose it might just be less noticeable above ground. :) I do think it'd be possible to do this in other ways, with solid layers both for foreground and background, with differing darkness/depth, and transparency for the tunnel in the layer closest to the viewer. But indeed much more complicated, and all the more so with irregular forms.

Don't mean to imply you should try that just do think it works fine in 2D too. :) Have seen it done well at least in games.

All good though!

Mejson 2021-04-16 08:18:44

Yes, much more complicated and a lot of work would be consumed :) But as we know, you have to plan the scenes in such a way as not to add additional - pointless work :P Just like he had the idea @MariogD - in 'Scene 1' - Zombie Ants hurt by the spikes at the gate - very time -consuming and pointless... 2s, which hardly anyone will pay attention to in relation to 100 hours of work for these two seconds. That is why I believe that you should create something that translates into effects. There is to do with a special background that will be used up to two times. You know very well that animation requires a lot of work... 'Scene 2' was made for 300-400h, but it was worth it :)

Maybe it works, but I doubts I will make it the first time... games are made by a team of people, not by one person XD

Thanks!

Cyberdevil 2021-04-17 06:12:14

Woooah 100 hours of work for two seconds!!! :O That sounds crazy. Half a month full-time. It'd really take that long?! For sure though, best find a balance between what looks good and what's realistic. Easier with a group indeed.

Mejson 2021-04-17 06:12:14

I guess so... it would be very difficult and you would have to create frame by frame...
Exactly :)

ChordC 2021-04-18 04:51:13

@Mejson Ahh I see, aside from that, it looks pretty good ;)

Mejson 2021-04-18 04:51:13

Super! Thanks!

Mejson 2021-04-22 06:13:40

@Cyberdevil, @Animetion24, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott, my great mates... I regret to inform you that my laptop which I work has broken down ... the motherboard or some of its components are damaged (probably). :/ Luckily the data has not been corrupted. I will be using my old laptop for the duration of the repair... Unfortunately, I cannot animate on this old laptop...

Cyberdevil 2021-04-22 08:58:25

Ah dang, that sucks. :/ Had an HDD crash myself this weekend actually, fortunately no files I can't live without but not all backed up, hopefully they're recoverable...

Good luck with getting the laptop fixed! Hope it's a simple/not too costly thing.

Mejson 2021-04-22 08:58:25

Ohhh, sorry to hear that mate :/ hope you get your data back...

Well... 3 situations can happen:
- the laptop will be repaired - low cost,
- replacing the motherboard - high costs,
- they will not find a suitable motherboard.

SayMeBott 2021-04-22 15:23:27

@Mejson In my opinion, its time for desktop computer. Laptops, like other portable devices, are more prone to damage.
That only what I think, I'm not professional - dont judge me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mejson 2021-04-22 15:23:27

Well, it depends, if we can fix it, it's okay. And if they want to replace the motherboard... fuck it! xD

Anyway, I buy - I put together a desktop computer :P

MariogD 2021-04-22 16:02:50

@SayMeBott agree. I think that laptop is only convenient then you are university student

Mejson 2021-04-22 16:02:50

For one day I had a sentiment for this XD laptop. Now fuck it! If the cost is too high, I will sell a bitch for parts XD Hehehe, LOL. :P

I have two professional advisers - I will put together a new PC :)

Cyberdevil 2021-04-23 06:18:53

Thanks, hope so too. :) Do you do repairs yourself? If the mobo can't be replaced/is too expensive to replace maybe best get a new computer instead and move over the old HDD? Ah seems you might've gotten a price already?

I'd definitely go for a stationary too if I could. :P I mean I do. So many advantages. More ergonomic too. Easier to upgrade and swap out parts. Laptop might be handy if you live in an area prone to power outages or want to work outside but otherwise...

Mejson 2021-04-23 06:18:53

No, computer service. I can give a maximum of 800 zlotys for repairing this laptop, or it will not be repaired anymore. I will be buying a new computer, yes I am moving the disk.

I'm sick of laptops... That's right.

Cyberdevil 2021-04-25 09:39:57

Ah, alright, repair costs almost to the cost of a new computer then, good to hear!

Nice. :) Have you always been using laptops? Just most recent computer?

Mejson 2021-04-25 09:39:57

No, but there is no point in repairing the laptop either.
I've always used laptops... I don't want any more laptops.

Cyberdevil 2021-04-26 05:39:04

Mmm, hope stationary is the experience you hope it is! :) Myself I've actually never had a laptop, not as main computer at least, bought one for travel a while back but haven't used it yet.

AzureDragoonGX 2021-05-14 10:30:13

Hey guys. Just pinging in, confirming all is well on my end. And hoping it's the same for all of you. :)

Mejson 2021-05-14 10:30:13

@Cyberdevil, @Animetion24, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott, mates...

Yes, as it is. Completing all the parts for the computer was not easy and took quite a long time... Tomorrow my friend will assemble my PC and I will copy the data, then format / set up a new system, and then prepare the computer just like I had everything on my laptop.

Regards,
Mejson

ChordC 2021-05-15 06:27:21

@Mejson Ahh thanks for the update, hope everything goes well tomorrow.

Cyberdevil 2021-05-15 07:45:04

Ah it really has been a while! Good to hear things are going alright... all good here too just lot of work as usual. Office move in a couple weeks.

ChordC 2021-05-15 08:00:04

@Animetion24 hey there, good to know that you’re alright. I’m doing good here, enjoying the rest of the holiday.

Mejson 2021-05-17 03:22:58

@Cyberdevil, @Animetion24, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott, mates, yesterday afternoon with my friends from Krakow:

- we were screwing my new computer for 3 hours,
- the next 5 hours are BIOS preparation and data backup,
- formatting the "C" partition and installing Windows,

Today, after work, I will configure programs and bring it to the state before the format - just like I had on my laptop. Then I will configure the entire work environment, such as: setting the monitor and handle for monitor, etc.

I think it will take me two more days.
