This match is a nihilistic clownshow and also a lot of fun, proving that sometimes conceptual paradoxes in popular culture are the most interesting topics of conversation, even if they ultimately mean nothing.
Man that was a lot of 10 dollar words to describe husky men assaulting each other with literal trash cans, huh? Sheesh.

Project 99 is going to be a dungeon crawler, true, but there's a sort of vision I'm going for with Operators where I don't feel right with them just sitting quietly as portraits on a Party Menu. Expect something more akin to a fighting game's character select menu, that's got a ton more bombast, including my voice announcing your selections as some sort of horrifying hybrid of Shao Khan and SHO...

Remember in that presentation, how I'd have to pursue the vibes I wanted on that background track in a set of elements, because licensing with it was weird? Yeah, here's the new track, built using CC License elements. It's now 100% More Silent Hill Haunted, though more in a 'gentle, calming, room where you can Save Your Game ' vibe. Which is fitting, as this is for your base, which is a Save Ro...

2024-05-16 23:14:46 +0000 UTC View PostColds suck, and that's why I speedrun them.
I've been a busy beaver getting Project 99's audioscape into a substantial state. This means stuff like weapon sounds, from equip sounds, to reloads, to semiauto and burst fire? All in a usable state. UI sounds, from clicks, beeps and errnts, and even some neat retro-computing fan noises and hard drive flogging when you go to the ...

Hey, it's your Act 1 Combat Theme, or at least a placeholder version of it, if I get the urge to add more to the mix to make it bigger.

Another dungeon backing track. This game's going to have a distinctly "prowling around on a rainy city night vibe" and I'm glad the music is hitting to that effect.

Trying to branch out into more character design, here's the WIP for the first Operator on the team I'm showing off: Charles-Caesar "Flak" Barròn. Chuck-C's a heavily augmented machine gunner and rocket trooper, a beast of a man who's me attempting to answer the question "Hey what if Sundowner from Metal Gear Rising was a goodhearted, humble, well adjusted person despite his circumstances."

Look, understand, I didn't do this when I got paid to in games. This is not something I specialized in, so I'm working slowly but surely to make up for lost time. Even still: I'm really pleased, even if this is a WIP with some slight alignment issues.
Bonus: look, containers!-

There's nothing I can add here that the title doesn't. Man, I sure said Carl Styles a lot in that one paragraph. That was weird, glad I do an editing pass on these. Eventually.

So yeah, this isn't exactly final, but I'm proud of how it looks so far, so let's go with this for the time being.
So what's all this then?
Hey, this is a sample of what I've been working on, in terms of bringing Section 99 to life in a playable form. Anyone who's interested in the whole shebang, I'll have the entire weapons arsenal as I've sketched out for this thing rendered in audio form for you to enjoy.
