Cleretic posted:Yeah, if you were trying to find a 'voice' for an effective bit of Pokemon 'screw with the game fiction', I think the right angle isn't to go haunted, since that's been done, but rather to go glitchy. Not only because Pokemon is known to be glitchy so there's already some shared vocabulary and imagery, but also because as an RPG with a lot of both visible and invisible stats and numbers, there's a lot of dials to turn. I think with pokemon, it would be cool to subtly suggest through glitches like the different pokemon have 'thoughts' going on behind the scenes, but it transpires it's just some kind of AI, that's meant to just serve the game functions. It seems to have a consciousness, but doesn't have a way to communicate. Like it's trapped in the game. I think these days, the idea that someone wrote an AI capable of thought and just used it to move pixels around is actually just plausible enough to work. !Klams fucked around with this message at 10:50 on Jun 25, 2023 |

I just want to sound off somewhere on the internet at least once on this, feel free to disregard: so I dont care for haunted house stories or ghosts and I think House of Leaves is kind of stupid but long ago I made wads and the after a while the amount of "it... should not be doing this" technical wizardry in myhouse made me physically nauseated so yeah youre going to maybe miss out on some of that if you dont have the background

That certainly sounds interesting. I probably won’t play it though since I know while people criticize the M64 camera system in the main game, it becomes a much worse problem in most hacks.

An Actual Princess posted:the mario 64 camera is perfect actually. I wouldn't go THAT far since there are a couple of places where it's a pain, but it was an amazing camera for the time, possibly the best 3D Camera before the era of standard twin-stick controllers, and holds up pretty well nigh on 30 years later. Considering the N64 was flooded with 3D Platformers with very bad cameras it's honestly all the more impressive. And boy do a lot of Romhacks have problems with it...

Are there any good videos on myhouse's internal workings? There's that three-video series that goes over a lot of it, but I'm wondering if there's anything else.

There’s really not a lot more to be said. Because it’s GZDoom, the scripting is all comparatively simple - there’s no need for complicated voodoo doll stuff or mikoportals, for example. Explaining more of it (for example if you were curious how the artifacts work) would be a ZDoom/UDB tutorial basically, so you’d be looking at something like this: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1cBWOFfRw5V69xdgxhmjVwaC1DfIvnwe I guess you could read the Doomworld thread if you haven’t yet (assuming it didn’t get hidden because people got too into treating it like an ARG and started trying to dig up real life info, I know that got it locked). If you want more details in general, keep an eye out in the middle of December. Doom’s birthday is on December 10th, and the annual community awards for best maps (the Cacowards) come out that day. If “veddge” is going to reveal some more details it’d probably happen with the award then. (We know whomever he is he has significant community ties, since he got Jimmy and Esselfortium to do music.) e: the doomworld thread is open again https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/134292-myhousewad/ Arivia fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Jun 26, 2023 |

SeANMcBAY posted:I don’t have problems with it for vanilla, just hacks. My guess is that the design approaches of SM64's worlds took the camera's limitations into account way more than romhackers do. I don't have a lot of experience with SM64 hacks, but notice how interior spaces in 64 that aren't large corridors often stick to a fixed camera location and just pan around, likely because the 'free camera' they use for external spaces would be absolute hell.

SM64's Camera gets noticeably worse when you actually have to do fine motions with it. Most stages have clearly designed camera viewpoints, and when you're manually asking the thing to do more than turn about 45 degrees from a decent panning shot it can struggle. It's absolutely at its worst in close quarters, hence why so many stages are or have big open playgrounds.

A video game hoax that drove me crazy as a kid because it was in an actual published book (By Jeff Rovin) about NES game secrets was the "Break the Backboard" code in Double Dribble. I would love to know if anyone data dumped it and found if they just got the code wrong everywhere, or if it never existed in the first place. I also know Double Dribble was originally an arcade game so maybe it existed there and they planned to port it over but never did. I may have posted about this here before, I can't remember. But its one of those things where a book said something so I took it at face value and could never get it to work.

I feel like I got my hands on an "unofficial" SNES cheats book that contained some horseshit about a Super Mario Kart input that enabled you to play as The Maxx (of all things). Like even as a little kid I thought that was really weird, but it was in a book so it's got to be real even if I've tried to do it a hundred times and it hasn't worked yet, right?

A game magazine I saw in a department store once told me that with the right code you could play as Simon Belmont in the TMNT 2 game for NES I think it was. I think it was probably an April Fool's Day article but due to how stores stocked those things you never knew how old an issue was without checking.

studio mujahideen posted:thats because its true. well holding b is. down is clearly superstition What you need to do is hold B exactly when the ball closes, wait for the second shake, then release it. It works perfectly every time, but the timing is incredibly precise and I can't get it reliably. (I actually still do this, but more as a combination habit/minigame during an animation than anything.)

I think the coolest and most disappointing moment in game legends for me was me and my sister messing around with a gameshark for Ocarina. We managed to get into kid Zelda's map as adult Link, and you can dive into the pool there. We did so and went first person to look, and, oh my GOD! THE TRIFORCE IS HERE! But it kept flying to the right, out of our vision. Was incredibly confusing until we finally realized what was happening- in this body of water, when you go first person, it was pitch black because the texture layers didn't work right- what we were seeing was the texture for the Triforce of Courage when it appears on Link's hand, and it kept moving in the dark because it was Link's swimming hands paddling.

You know what, I'm going to call it and say you got closer than most people. You got a triforce sighting! Sure, it was a camera glitch, but at least you saw SOMETHING.

There was a community of people ages ago making gameshark codes for, exclusively, the PS2 GTA games. It was actually really impressive at the time, they made codes that added collision to those big planes that always flew around and made them flyable. They had a ton of others too that I wish I remembered, all of them like 100 lines that you'd have to put in. They had some invisionfree forum that I also wish I remembered the name of

I bought two NES game guides at a scholastic book fair and they were filled with so much made-up bullshit I stopped reading books for like four months. The only one I remember was the page on Bubble Bobble. It was poo poo like "when a Bubble Bobble screen gets too hard, ride a big bubble to the next room." Took me years to realize they meant the big bubble that carries you to the next room when you beat the room you're currently in. Fuckers. Then there was a screenshot of the game's boss that said "when you meet the game's boss, you know what to do." No the gently caress I don't, you rear end in a top hat! Fight him? Is that what you mean? Like, don't just put my controller down and let him kill me?

I forget which magazine it was exactly. But I remember one I had saying that if you beat one of the Metroid games fast enough you could see Samus nude. And I think they might have had a pic of the bikini version. So to this day I don't know if that was supposed to be the "nude" ending. Or if they were like, "If you think this is hot, just you wait, buddy!" I really want to go back and see what time they claimed it took.
