Hello,
Quick update on my mod-related life.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FLESH:
Flesh is done, actually, we released it in the christmas.
Im still working and planning on a updated version of Flesh, that´ll come out... sometimes, in the future. Subtitles and configurable keys, dunno if there´s something else I want to add, I´d just like to move ahead already.
Flesh did really well, I really enjoyed the feedback. After the release, I noticed its truly a love-or-hate sort of a mod, quite unintentional from me, really. I didnt realise the audience was that much narrowed down. Flesh is pretty much targeted at old-school horror gamers, and from the comments, I think they really loved it. Soooo Im happy about that, yeah. For others, I can understand if it was a letdown.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
VISAGE:
So, nowadays, Im busy with school and my comic work, trying to focus on those a bit more now, catch up with them, and whenever I have the time, I try to work on Visage.
...Visage is cool, and the team is working really well together, so Im enjoying that experience. I cant really share any information on that, but Im working on my own short bit in the mod, which is kinda different from the rest of it, when it comes to the gameplay and enviroments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE COMMUNITY AND ME:
On other news, after releasing a mod, I´ve been continuously asked to join different mods, which is quite satisfying, like people want ME to join their mods, not the other way around. But I dont have the time for anyone´s projects right now.
Usually, Im trying to jump into every project I can get my hands into, since I love this stuff so much. And then I cant focus into anything, and things go bad. I´ll try to avoid that now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HUMAN ERROR:
Human Error released, that´s cool. I recently playtested the mod, I couldnt really find any core-gameplay related bugs, just a few, but I did throw a bazillion comments with the level-design, so hopefully that was of any use.
Actually, I´ve tried to work on Human Error in the past, I was going to make Au-Heppa some sprites, but I never got around that, and then I faded away. I feel bad about that, but it isnt that serious I guess. These things happen all the time. But anyways, Human Error, really cool, play it. I really enjoyed this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MY OWN PROJECTS:
Sigh, dunno. I have plenty of ideas, some good ones, that would make some great mods, but I dont know if I have the time just now. I´ll let them brew, work on some models and gameplay elements real quiet and discreet, and eventually I can start on something properly. Like, first, gotta do the groundwork, and then BAM! go at it with full-speed.
One thing about doing a mod is, it takes over your whole life, and I dont want to do that straight away again. Doing Flesh was damn hard and sometimes really depressing, but the result was great, and Im happy with it. But yeah, tasking. Nowadays I can actually go to sleep early if I want to, which is cool.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Soooo that was it for today, I´ll write here whenever there´s something I want to discuss, or I notice people are actually reading these. Thanks to all the people who were interested in my mods, thanks for the interviews and the news items and such as well, that helped me alot.
´till later
-Henri
