Carl says "farewell" in Shivan :D

Technically, Carl was saying "hasta la vista, baybee." Everyone knows that the Shivans' quantum pulse accent tends to throw certain translators for a loop.

Ok, granted. Only Bosch knows for certain. The rest of us can only strongly suspect. :D

Assuming that Bosch survived the um, "accidental marriage proposal" he made to Carl...

Is that what it was? Bosch wasn't kidding when he said his first contact with the Shivans was "rudimentary and crude...." :nervous: :eek2: :nervous:

Maybe what he received was "rudimentary" and maybe "very very, VERY crude" to him but it could've been just the usual Shivan courtship dance and replication ritual.

This must have been everyone's reaction to seeing all those lens flares and thinking I was serious.

Yeah, I had a similar reaction when I first watched J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movie in 2009 and saw all those goddamned indoor lens flares. :ick: :mad2: :mad: :banghead: :nono:

Androgeos Exeunt, you might lick the floor, but you can't lick beamz. It would violate all the laws of physics and man.

Re: Cutscene Upgrade Project
It's taken me a few days to come around, but I apologize to everyone for my tantrum (which occurred on Discord). The truth is that an individual who I used to highly respect and collaborate with on a regular basis dumped all over my work and my abilities as an artist. He suggested my latest work is actively worse than the original and that I'm so bad at what I do, I can't see how terrible it is. The unfortunate part is that his actual ideas on improving my work have merit, but he went about it in entirely the wrong way. Words matter. After explaining my position privately he still didn't seem to care how his words affected me. It's evident that I thought too highly of this person and that I don't need his approval when I have all of yours. I received more than a dozen private messages from people offering me their support. Thank you for that. This project has been a labor of love for a decade and the payoff is having my work enjoyed by others, so I'll focus on that. I'll return with completed Hall Fight soon.

Re: Cutscene Upgrade Project
From the point of view of professional graphic designer I say: Modern recreation of work from 1998, using high-poly models, high resolution
textures, volumetric fog, detailed shadows, modern lighting engine, contributions and feedback of other experienced community members and other assets available looks better and will always look better then the original.

Whoever try to level my statement without professional qualifications comes from invalid position, because of obvious lack of education and merits.
Whoever try to question it, denies obvious need for your work to continue or even exist.

Privately speaking, the reworked cutscenes just looks damn, ****ing good :yes:

Re: Cutscene Upgrade Project
Mjn, you've got serious artistic talent across several different disciplines.  I have greatly enjoyed everything you've shared with this community.  This isn't just a compliment for the sake of building your self esteem back up so that you "keep on trying."  Your products speak for themselves.  I've played bad mods and not enjoyed them.  Your work is fricking good.  It needs no defense, nor do you.  :)
