Wait 'til you find out the middle guy's power

I'm not a psychologist or brain guy or anything, but I think synaesthesia is more of a spectrum, rather than something you just have or don't have. I'm also pretty sure most people tend to associate colours with certain numbers, or certain sounds, or that kind of thing, where thinking of one makes you think of the other.

The kind of visual synaesthesia where you actually see certain images or colours in front of you when you hear sounds is probably much higher on the spectrum and much rarer.

Also, what Paul said.

Here is my final design for the contest! Sorry for the spam attack



Luckily, both my previous designs have made it into the shortlist, but I wanted to give this thing my best effort. If you like it I'd really appreciate it if you tossed me a vote

Final design! Only five days left in the contest. Luckily both my previous designs have made the shortlist. The competition is getting pretty stiff though.

Thanks guys!

Well, there are quite a lot of bad guys in Berserk, so I can't really say it was inspired by any one of them specifically, but Berserk tends to inspire everything I make in one way or another. Also, I'm at the part where they meet Schierke and Flora, so I was in the mood for something sylvan and woodsy.

@Derek
That would be pretty cool!

@Gimym TILBERT
Actually I'm just readin the Hawk of the Millenium arc right now! So that's probably why

@Ben_Hurr, Ashkin
Well, if From holds an armor design contest I'll definitely do that!

[@Eric]

Woo! Just finished my second design. I'm doing all I can to win this thing so I'm going to be doing the limit of three designs.



I'd really appreciate it if you tossed me a vote or an upvote on reddit!

@Eric
Thanks dude!

@eigenbom
Thank you.

@Jad
I'm always happy to hear that people can see an improvement in my work, because sometimes it's hard for me tell. Thanks!

@effete
Thanks!

@Trystin
My brushes are not that interesting, it's mostly just stuff I've found on the internet. I'm planning to make my own brush set soon though.

My second design is approved and up in the gallery!



My first design made it to the top 30, which is the shortlist for selection. There is a maximum of 3 entries per person, so I'd like get all three in the shortlist. It's be awesome to get something in the game!

Are you mocking Liberty or Death?

@caiys
Thanks! Ahh yeah, that's correct, you have to sign in to the app then click the link again.

Currently on page 10! I'm planning on making three designs (since that's the limit). I've already finished two...

Maybe I should do a TIGS design? What should it have on it?

Just finished this bad boy for the Dark Souls shield design contest. If you want to vote for it...

I also posted a thread here - I'd appreciate upvotes there as well! http://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls/comments/1dcaf5/my_shield_design_got_approved/

This is not directly related to gameplay discussion, but I just got my shield design approved for their contest things.



I'd really appreciate any votes! You just have to be in the top 30 to make the shortlist.

(Yeah you have to to sign into the dumb app thing to be able to vote... It's stupid but all it is a gallery where you can votes on the designs.)

Derek...

I'd kick both your asses.

@CA Sinner
Thanks

@Ryan
Hah, yeah - I really like the way Kyle Pulver adds so much vitality to his games with simple squishes so I've been trying to emulate that.


Just a quick note to say that I'm going to be finishing up some contract obligations over the next 3 or so weeks, so the game will be put on hold until then. After that, I'm going to be tackling version 0.2 with a vengeance. I have some cool stuff planned

@jO
B=====D~

@Ryan
Thanks!! Actually the squishy camera zooming was a bug But I fixed it now so it's smooth.

@Owen
Yeah sure - when I was zooming in and out, I had just sloppily estimated a scale factor that ended up with the aspect ratio warping. So I fixed it by getting rid of that, so it zooms smoothly without squishing now.

Just looking it at now, in the gif it somehow looks like the view angle is shifting, but that is totally unintentional. In the actual game it was just a bug that made the tiles have gaps and looked disorienting.
