New Marathon Game Whaaat and Stuff

[juzo_kun]

Uh. Apparently Bungie is on it. Yeah! But it will be a player-vs-player thing. Booo! But they know Marathon fan are a bunch of people that will poke their collective nose in every nook and cranny of the HTML code and image pixel to look for hints, and Bungie gave exactly that in the form of a nice ARG which revealed a bit of the lore and behind-the-scenes. Yay! But being in my timezone mean everything happened while I was sleeping. Boo!

Anyway, as an appreciator of that kind of "Designers Republic" style, I kind of like that look, even if it has nothing to match with the original one.

Will I get it? I don't know, I dislike PvP and over that I'm also shitty FPS player to boot. [I'm still asking myself how I managed to finish Apotheosis X]. Plus I'm on Linux and even if Steam+Proton can do a lot of things and my laptop is a high-end one, I don't keep myself too optimist on it.

Ah, and what about everything else?

Move finishes, still some stuff to rearrange and still have to get some bureaucracy loose things finished. The Husband finally reunited! Depression still going with highs and lows, I realized how much I went overdrive in these months and now I get tired for the flimsiest kind of activity. Slowly getting to draw again, nothing new, at the moment I'm doing lineart of old stuff.

I also might or might not become slightly more active on my Tumblr...

Fingers crossed that it ends up being good and playable, even as PvP... And that the best bits of the story aren't TOO hard to find! LOOKING AT YOU, GHERRIT WHITE TERMINAL. (At least Bungie's gotten very good at jumps, haha.)

Hope getting back into drawing goes well! ♥ I've been making some attempts this week because there's some art for another fandom I really want to make exist, but I'm so out of practice I'm not happy with any of my sketches. /o\

Eh, I'm not so keen of touching the world of PvP games and the related interaction thereof. I've read so many horror stories. Unless Bungie will make a nice move and create a (zone? server? tier? neigbourhood?) dedicated to "truly crappy players who want to know ALL THE LORE nonetheless and prefer to roam around and look and go 'whoa' to the pretty design."

A lot has been uncovered these past few days, including a lot of connective tissue to the classic Trilogy, so that's good... just wish I was better at PvP. :U

Best of luck on the art!

Heh, I was kind of "meh" when I saw the new site; and just as I always do when I see a modern one-page presentation I poke in the code to see what tool/engine they did use WHEN SUDDENLY that hidden username and password <span> ... my only gripe is that to me it was bedtime and the morning after the discords exploded and everything was already at max speed, haha

I don't have any chance at a PvP, unless my adversaries all play blindfolded or with the screen upside down -- and that's not thinking at this particular hurdle of being on Linux (old games chug along well, new ones I never tried but I'm slightly less optimist)

Unless they make a thing like a game which name I don't remember that introduced a kind of "tourist mode" for whom was only interested at the pretty pretty scenery and not at the killing/mauling/spyig and whatnot but I doubt it

Thank you! :)
