Title: Cruel Tester's Thesis - JAD Intro
Post by: Axem on June 02, 2016, 02:34:26 pm: Hey, since I'm doing a parody mod that really heavily is inspired by anime and Evangelion, I guess the no brainer thing to do would be to... parody the intro...

Thank you so much to Spoon for exporting all that high res art and to mjn for some quick effects work!

You'll see her in JAD2.22 a bit. She's the best character out of them all.

Thanks! Also you'd be surprised that it took a little bit of effort to get that error count. I tried dumping BP's table files into the JAD mod folder, but that introduced game stopping errors on load, so instead I grabbed The Antagonist's table files and dumped them in. So thank you bigchunk1... where ever you are now...!

Post by: Piemanlives on June 08, 2016, 07:21:04 am: A few quick pieces of feedback however, I feel that the silhouettes used during the opening section could be a little bit darker, I wouldn't say that they're hard to see but making them a bit more noticeable would be a bit better I feel. That and the Knossos at the end could be brought a bit more into frame, as it is with the lighting it doesn't look centered.
Title: Re: Cruel Tester's Thesis - JAD Intro
Post by: Axem on June 08, 2016, 08:34:02 am: The silhouettes is a fair one, but the last scene was a straight record from the mod and after the amount of pain I already went through on this project I think I'll leave that as "almost great". I'd rather just zoom in a bit and cut out the Knossos than re-record again if I wanted to change it.

Post by: Rodo on June 08, 2016, 10:20:24 am: The best part by far is the tree of freespace on the beggining with all the branches filled with fs modding stuff.
It made me laugh so hard stopping the vid to read the random stuff there.

Post by: X3N0-Life-Form on June 09, 2016, 12:41:01 am: Or, you can use spacebar to pause the video. Or straight up download it and go frame by frame.
