Wow, um, H.R. Giger's work is pretty fucking scary though. I'll take that as a compliment, but jeez. His stuff. Whoah. Aaahhhh.

Do you really think the visuals are that good? They still make me want to vomit candy canes. That shit hurts, too.

The music is a secret~

Again, "good" wouldn't be the word I'd use to describe the sprite art, it's weird an unique...hmm, which I guess is "good". With so many boring indies out there, I'll take unique and freaky over polished and realistic any day of the week. I'm basically saying that I really like the general direction the art is headed in is, and it's also probably good you're not completely satisfied with it yet...it'll keep you from getting lazy and producing a product that you could have improved...I also feel that some sprites are still better than others.



And I guess stuff like the foreground in this image is what gave me the HR Geiger feel. That sort of creepy bio-mechanical design pattern seems to mesh well with a game titled Escalated Strange. Can't wait for music and gameplay...

Yesterday, when I saw your mention of Giger, I found it really misplaced. I don't see "Giger" there, because I fail to see the amount of organic imagery Giger imposes upon his creations. And general bad taste throughout. The guy has some cool stuff, but I find it boring looking at sexual imagery rather than offensive or even disturbing.

namagog's art is quite his own. Only he can tell us where he took inspiration from.

Of course, that's me rambling. If you have a Giger vibe, I'm cool with it, though I fail to see the connection.

Obviously he got his inspiration from electronic circuitry.

I guess I got that feel from stuff like the repeating ribbed edges on that foreground image, anywhere among the circuit-board stuff that you see curvature, that black tower, also the general darkness I guess gave me an Alien vibe. Honestly, after you mentioned it, alot of the designs seem like the sort stuff you'd see on a Predator ship or something...I guess I sorta grouped the two franchises together in my head . I'm not a Geiger expert, alls I know is that he designed the aliens and the hive.

And I'm of course not implying that Namragog took any inspiration from Geiger, Namragog's art-style is very unique and it's difficult to find things to which I can compare it...and it was actually meant as a complement btw, Giger even if he was a weirdo freakshow, did managed to come up with some extremely creative shit.

Failing to combine Miyazaki and Hellboy. Hahaha

Not at all.

For next week or so, I'm concept-ing and not working much on the game itself. Now is the time to ask me questions~!

Oh, and today is my birthday.

[Nate_G]

Happy birthday dude. I sent you a couple of nicely gift-wrapped emails

[Ashking]

Happy birthday, dudeman <3

Happy Birthday  .

I have something beautiful here, waiting for you. I hope I can finish it tomorrow and then send it to you.

I hope you're having a nice day today ^_^.

[namragog]

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Now is the time to ask me questions~!

Go go go go go

[eyeliner]

Are you alive?

Also, goo bath day.

[Nate_G]

Now is the time to ask me questions~!

Go go go go go

My question is: have you forgotten the password to your email account? Or is there a gremlin sat in the intertubes somewhere gobbling up emails

Ok, here go:

Scrolling screen or single screen areas?
If water is transparent, and makes you wet, how come wind, being also transparent and invisible, doesn't make you wet also?
Will your character ever remove his mask? Is he final?
Will your game have any type of text apart from Chinese characters?
Where does wax from ears come from?
What kind of music will you implement? If keyword is "chiptune", I'll murder you.
Will any of your backgrounds be animated?
What happens if you freeze, thaw, freeze, then thaw again a frozen food, and make a meal with it?

I would like one of these a day, please. 

1. Scrolling in most, single in some.

2. Air is tiny water.

3. That character no longer exists.

4. They are Japanese, and maybe.

5. It's snot.

6. Not chiptune. Think Castlevania meets an orchestra made out of cool shit.

7. None, probably. Although you don't need to worry about that~

8. Solids become liquids, and vice versa. So you can drink your steak and chomp on some orange juice.

happy birthday for last week, hope you had a cracker of a day!
