Trying To Draw Buildings

Oh my god look at this Snake.

Basic sprite for Snake going into a box for a retro fanfic Peace Walker game!

Hey, I just saw your post about PeaceDay and I'm really sorry to see that the game isn't going to get made. If you don't mind me asking, were you actually approached with a C&D or are you just trying to avoid that situation? I'm in the middle of a lot of fanworks myself and I just want to know how cautious I should be.

I wasn’t approached, but a bunch of friends sent me messages informing me that these types of things have happened.  There was an AMA with some copyright lawyer on Reddit that specifically said that people who get sued over fangames often get an NDA and can’t talk about it after the settlement.  Then there were the 500 or so fangames taken down by Nintendo from GameBolt (I think that’s the name of the site).  Then there was the one piece of fan art that Kojima tweeted about and immediately got DMCA’ed by Konami.  Putting together the pieces I just feel like that’s enough of a warning for me to stay away.  According to the copyright lawyer on Reddit, “You cannot afford fair use.”Personally I don’t think you have to worry about fan art or video or fanfiction.  It’s games specifically - possibly because they’re a medium in direct competition that seem to be the trouble.  I don’t know a whole lot about it beyond that.  I’m just playing it somewhat safer than I normally would with stuff like this because Konami has a reputation for being pretty awful.I appreciate the message.

Sure, I’ll come along for the ride.

Oblivious guard (and an actual guard tower!) Both Glowdust and I got really sick this week and couldn’t work on the game too much. :-(  And the stuff that we did accomplish is all unfulfilling back-end stuff like smoother flow, one-way platform physics, and a lot of animation that isn’t quite done yet.  I want to get more stuff done, but I’m just feeling a bit ~blergh~ still.       

What’s the ratio of frequency to size to force required for blowing for the wind instruments?

the contrabass saxophone is such an absurd instrument

Having ADHD is so fun because sometimes youre looking for something that you use regularly and definitely put away in a smart and reasonable place and you have absolutely 0 hope of remembering where and finding it. And then other times ur like "hmm I need a some kind of small pointed object. I feel like i remember seeing a paperclip under the left couch cushion a month ago, i wonder if its still there" and it is

This pixel art is just amazing!
