DS wasn't a particularly balanced Wars game when playing against others, but it was a lot of fun using those busted dual strikes against the CPU.

This is your first time doing frame-by-frame animation? Man, you have every right to feel accomplished. Beautiful stuff.

MoopersThings responds:

Definitely has it’s quirks but I always had a blast playing around with em!

And thank you, I really appreciate it! I’m very happy with the way it turned out!

I reached two horses, realized neither was Nick, and then I promptly quit playing. Four stars because the horse wasn't THAT very far away.

ProffessorDunce responds:

i genuinley did want to add nick and even suggested it, i'll have to talk to the programmer about this one

I know I've played this game a very long time ago, but I don't think it was on the NES. Probably from one of Namco's arcade collections. Maybe on an actual arcade cabinet. Maybe I played Tank Battalion, instead. Dang it, Moe! Why did you have to go and make me stop being productive to try and figure out which old-as-dirt tank game I played once as a child?

Call to Adventure is a excellent song, but it seems too upbeat for a game about tank warfare. Need something more gritty, I think.

MoeAnguish responds:

You're welcome lmao, I'm on this site to make people less productive uwu

And thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to play this and sharing your thoughts.

I was initially invested in the piece, but, shortly after the first minute, it started to feel repetitive. I'm going to disagree with the previous comment. If anything, this needs more to help keep itself fresh. Then again, I suppose this would be fine as is if it was used as a backing track though I have no clue what sort of lyrics would appropriately accompany it. Either way, I want more Stuffling included. More you.

It's alright. The static melody in the background for the first minute was boring, especially since it wasn't supporting much up front. Having things come together from 1:06 onward was far more enjoyable. Still, that was a lot of build-up. If I were label it as "A" for the first half and "B" for the second, I wonder if shortening A and having it alternate with B into an A-B-A-B (but the second B has a little more razzle dazzle tossed in) would help keep this from becoming stale midway into it. I know you're new to this, and I'm no musician, so take my suggestion with a grain of salt... or ignore it outright. I'd ignore me.

ScottySee responds:

Nah that's fair! I might take your critique into consideration. I could update it and make 'A' the build up a little shorter and more interesting. I knew it sounded somewhat empty. I appreciate the feedback, it's important so I can improve in the future. Cheers

Thanks for reminding me of all those old train stories about people falling asleep and getting off at the wrong stop only to end up at some empty, dilapidated station meant for the deceased. Definitely the sort of music I'd expect in some small horror game.

MoeAnguish responds:

No problem, man. It's a memory that should always be preserved.

Oddly enough, this doesn't even come across as a redraw. A redraw typically maintains the same direction of the original and mainly just highlights the artist's improvement rather than the character(s). With this, however, it's more like an actual person whose life suffered through a troubled, awkward phase at some point, found an old photo of herself during that time, then proceeded to recreate the pose of herself in that photo to provide a before and after comparison to really showcase how much effort she has put in to make life better for herself. This is something I've seen plenty of actual people do over the years whether it be about rehab, weight loss, or just highlighting the affects of aging. This is a far more interesting variation of redraw than just the "same energy but better looking" stuff I commonly stumble upon. Your OC grew alongside you. That or I'm overthinking it.

MoeAnguish responds:

I got that impression too honestly, So I'm glad you could also see it. Just didn't know what words to use exactly besides "redraw".

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, btw.

What a nut. Still, the sort of kid I'd force a shirt on even if I doubt any of courtesy would be accepted... maybe a simple graphic tee would suffice. My child self would certainly agree to the importance of a good, solid stick. Feels like a waste to toss them away, so it was easier to keep them against the home or tucked around something in the yard to prevent them from being broken or lost.

Bertn1991 responds:

Well said. Do these youngins today even know what a stick is? Probably not.

I love how the comedically-extreme level of squeezing is starting to undo Pearl's humanoid form. It's like when I had dogs. Once in a while, they'd do something more adorable than usual and my immediate response would be to rush over, pick one of them up, and aggressively cuddle them as if I was going to be able to take in all of that cuteness for myself.

"Why can't I just take myself easy for once?"

Ha! Long ago, I was dating someone who heard me making a similar complaint to the way I was playing a video game differently from everyone else and she was the first person in my life to point out that I constantly do that because I have an uncommon definition of what I consider to be "fun" so I should just stop wasting my time complaining about it. Maybe you suffer from an artistically-equivalent situation? Cami can't make things easier on herself when drawing because a mix of personal pride and strange enjoyment refuse to allow her to compromise those self-imposed standards. That or maybe it's because the stuff Cami draws is far too important to her to represent half-heartedly. Pearl's glory can only be truly appreciated when one completely dedicates themself to creating fan art for her.

The chibi versions are an excellent addition, by the way. Turns an already-great image into a charming little comic.

ICam2k responds:

Pretty reasonable to be frank. That reminds me though, my family has a pair of dogs although my mom usually cuddles with only one (both of them are small breed and have bottom fangs sticking out but one is a female named Sofi with shaggy gold brown fur, got her in autumn of 2018 and the other being male with smooth white fur and brown spots, he was initially named Biri but my mom for whatever reason changed her mind and renamed him Geani, got him in the next following year). She pampered him so much that he pretty much not only actively looks out for her, but also tries to protect her, even from the most minuscule things. I can't count the amount of instances where he would start growling at me and then quickly get close to her everytime I try help her on some tasks.

Feels like just I read a psychology analysis of sorts, even with the small witty joke in the end. Passion probably rings even truer when it comes to that kind of stuff, although the reason where my frustration came from maybe was caused by me witnessing the amount of artists somehow pumping out a bunch of stuff, both complete and doodle comps at lighting speed whereas I always stagger around. Kind of want to know how they're even able to do that without straining themselves.
About that videogame thing, I recall mostly playing videogames whose mechanics and genres appealed to me a lot, but it was mostly the art directions that always caught me eye. I actually never questioned about that though, even when I played niche ones at that, that kind of stuff just felt right enough for me. I think you should be more than glad that we're nerds in a way. heh

They are clever additions indeed. Might try to keep these in mind so I could that again for drawings like this. heh
