The X-Files

Hello everyone!

We (a bunch of regulars and ex regulars) are organizing a /lisg/ sings. The song we are going to be singing is Glass walls.
As you may know the song has male and female parts. You can either do both or pick one.
Here is a download with the lyrics and the song: http://orph.link/lisgsings

>How do I record this?
Use Audacity or something, there are plenty of programs that do this. If you don’t have a mic just use your phone.
Try singing the whole song in 1 go, you can leave out the male or female part depending on which you do. This makes it easier to edit. If you want to do both just record it twice.
Make sure it is JUST YOUR VOICE. No song in the background.

>Okay how do I send in my files?
Email your files to [email protected]
You can add them in the attachment or upload them somewhere where the files can be downloaded from. Try to avoid Vocaroo as it makes the quality shit.

>When is the deadline
You can send in your files till the 15th of August.
If you’re a little later it’s not too bad, the editing won’t start right away but try to do it before then.

>I can’t sing!!!
No one gives a shit, it’s just for fun. Try to join when you can!

I want to be part of this, but it's so nerve-wracking!

You should maybe add a counter at the bottom of how many people already participate? If I send mine in, it probably ends up being seconds upon seconds(!) of just my horrible singing! If we knew that plenty people are participating, we would have more of a feeling of safety in numbers.

Or do you plan to overlay all voices, like a choir?

>>150971572

Newer vids are kinda meh bordering on nope tho.

Can I ask you guys something? How come Kate is so well loved here? She didn't do much in the game, she was a sweet quiet girl and I loved her artwork but I was surprised at how much you guys love her. I have no problems with it, quite the opposite, but I'd just like to know!

You should know, apart from the fact they are romanticised, that none of the characters are really perfect, in how they are portrayed or implied, in LiS.

>>150975872
Quoted the wrong post anon? Unless you're trying to say that none of us have the perfect voice and we should all participate in lisgsings

>>150976213
Yeah, I thought so. That was me.
Honestly, I know they're not "perfect" so to say, but where I live, people this respectable literally do not exist.

If you don't know the deets, how can you know that there's a lot of people participating?

>>150976504
>they also passed
That's... I don't know what your "support network" is like, but losing a handful of people close to you, under such circumstances on top of that, - we really shouldn't be that network. This goes beyond what internet strangers could possibly be or do for you. Seek serious help and comfort, if not possible with family and friends, definitely consider professional help. If you study, your uni will have mental health professionals and counceling available for that. You pay money to attend university - that's a service they offer. Use it.

She's not my top favorite but she's super sweet and cute, and I loved that she wanted to illustrate childrens' books and liked tea. Also, I found her struggle with depression to hit closer to home than Chloe's.
The only thing I didn't care for about her was that she was a devout Christian, but she didn't bother anybody with it so it doesn't bother me.

And she has a bunny and I love bunnies!

Fuck off janny. We're having a conversation about characters and how representative they are of real life, and apparently it's not fucking related but God forbid something else breaks out than the same fucking drivel.

Janny is a not nice who wants to turn Alice into stew, that's why.

Got a question here
Is this General also okay to talk about TellTale Games?
What I mean is I remember A long time ago when the first season of Walking Dead came out and then The Wolf Among Us there was a TellTale General but then it died and I was wondering if that had just happened Because Life Is Strange came out and everyone from the Telltale general just Assimilated over here.
Can anybody give me some information regarding this? Can I ask questions regarding Telltale shit here or should I just generally fuck off?

Because she died and went to hell

14KB, 236x275px

I saw that LiS episode 1 was on steam so I decided to try it out. I didn't read any reviews, any descriptions of the game, pretty much nothing; I went into LiS blind.

Fuck

After I played the first episode I was hooked, so I immediately purchased the other 4 episodes. What a rollercoaster ride of emotions, I found myself crying so many times while playing. Getting so deeply attached to Max, Chloe, Kate, etc., my heart was just aching every time they got tossed around or shit on by other characters. It's funny, when I got to episode 3 or 4 I kept thinking "It's strange, Chloe seems to keep dying in every single reality that Max creates, maybe it's just destiny for her to die young" and sure enough, that's an option. That's also the option I chose, god I wanted to save Chloe but I couldn't justify one life for an entire town. And fucking JEFFERSON that fuck, obviously nobody suspects him but damnit, that twist surprised the hell out of me. I finished the game pretty quickly as after buying all of the episodes I couldn't help but do nothing but play them.
This game is beautiful.

Kek another new friend here huh? Your experiences sound similar to mine but I gotta say you're an idiot! If you love someone you cna sacrifice anyone for them. Why not? No one matters to you like she does. You're cruel for killing her. I let Chloe live. And yes I thought exactly like you. I just don't understand why she had to die either like why can everyone survive but her?

Wait so did no one really save the Bay?
The population of the bay has to at least be a couple hundred people?

In her last moments Chloe is begging you to save the town and as much as it hurts I think you have to. Your relationship will never be the same after all of that death and it won't be strong enough to carry the guilt-- you're forcing Chloe to live for your own sake if you choose her over the Bya, while in the process destroying her (and your) home. All traces of Rachel, her mother... everything is gone.

As much as it hurts, I had to choose the bay, otherwise I'm not listening to what the person I love wanted.

There's no reason to believe the storm is linked to Max or Chloe. Or at least Max would have no reason to believe it.
And it's wrong to think every single person in Arcadia Bay died. A majority of them likely survived based on how little the damage we see is.
If you let Chloe die you once and for all validate her low self esteem. You do not let her mature, you do not give her a chance to make amends with Joyce and David, and you do not allow her to feel love. You're ending it with her dying before she learned the truth about things, without knowing she was loved, and you're undoing every bit of maturing she (and others) went through that week.
Dooming Max to a guilt that would likely result in her own death sooner rather than later.

That is unacceptable. As much as it hurt, saving Chloe was the only true choice. It doesn't just save Chloe, it saves Max as well.

That's irrelevant.
>And it's wrong to think every single person in Arcadia Bay died. A majority of them likely survived based on how little the damage we see is.
The game's inability to show the devastation and the choice it's asking the player to make are two different things. The idea is Chloe or the town.
>If you let Chloe die you once and for all validate her low self esteem. You do not let her mature, you do not give her a chance to make amends with Joyce and David, and you do not allow her to feel love. You're ending it with her dying before she learned the truth about things, without knowing she was loved, and you're undoing every bit of maturing she (and others) went through that week
That's the tragedy of letting her die. If you let the people in the down die you could say most of that about every one of them.
>Dooming Max to a guilt that would likely result in her own death sooner rather than later.
And the alternative could doom Chloe to a guilt that would kill her.

>>151004150
>That is unacceptable. As much as it hurt, saving Chloe was the only true choice. It doesn't just save Chloe, it saves Max as well.

You're making me cry again anon... Chloe and max is what this is all about

>>151004150
But she felt love with Rachel and with you-- Chloe isn't asking to die out of a lack of self-esteem, she's asking to die because she realizes, that for some reason, she needs to die to prevent a bunch of senseless death from happening. She's committing to the ultimate self-sacrifice and coming into her own as a person to save everyone.

Chloe recognizes that even if it only saves one other person's life her death is worth it. It sucks, but rejecting Chloe's wish to die and prevent the storm (for whatever reason it does-- the point is we know it does)-- is selfish. Chloe's already done her maturing, when we save her we save her so max doesn't feel bad.

>>151004575
>And the alternative could doom Chloe to a guilt that would kill her.
this this this this this

You owe it to Chloe to allow her to save the town and carry the weight that you COULD save her, but you shouldn't-- because at the end, after saving her all those times, she realizes she doesn't need to be saved.

>>151004768
Its destiny.

>>151004575
That is not irrelevant. It's from from it; it's all that matters.
Why would Max force herself to needlessly feel miserable? She's not a masochist.

If she doesn't think letting Chloe die would fix anything (and there's no evidence aside from one line of dialogue from Chloe where the word "maybe" is used) then she has no reason to go back. And if she does think her power was linked to the storm then it's too late, she's already made changes prior to saving Chloe and going back would still be using her power.

I don't care what *they* implied. I believe in logic and using my brain rather than rushing to judgements based on emotion.
They tried to make the ending a trolley problem. A one vs many dilemma. But they fucked it up. Every person in Arcadia Bay had freedom of movement and was in charge of their own actions/ fate. Chloe's fate is the only one that's known if you use that photo and go back.

And as much guilt as Chloe may feel, it's not hers to feel. It was Max's choice and Chloe said whatever Max picked was right and that she would stick with her. Chloe wanted to live and be with Max more than anything, but she didn't want Max feeling responsible for anyone getting hurt. That is why she suggested letting her die- she'd rather face death than see Max beat herself up and feel guilty. Chloe is no stranger to loss in life, and every loss she had was amplified because Max was gone. Now Max is with her, Chloe has all she's ever wanted or needed.

She, and Max, will be fine as long as they are together.
That is the single biggest lesson of the game, at least to me.

>>151004962
Thank you very much.

>>151004851
Fuck that.
Do you really think anyone else would be so kind as to kill their loved one to save mostly strangers?

Nope. It's Max's power and her choice, nobody can say anything to her for picking to keep Chloe alive.

But you played as Max. You spend the entire game focusing on making sure bad things don't happen to other people-- Max wouldn't want it, but she couldn't live with herself if she let even one person die in that storm because she chose Chloe.

It's why you've got the option to save people during the storm, even when you know you're just going to undo this later. She's obsessed with finding the best outcome for everyone, and she often forgets to factor in herself with that-- but even when she does, she's a human who cares fro everyone.

Max isn't "anyone else" Chloe even calls her a superhero. In the end her power isn't the time travel, so much as it is her (and Chloe's) self sacrifice.

Choosing bay will leave Max sad-- she might even want to kill herself due to what she has to give up-- but denying Chloe's own request to die so the people she and Max love can live will leave them both feeling hollow and guilty, it isn't what Chloe's father would have wanted, it isn't what Rachel would have wanted, it isn't right.

http://pastebin.com/EwCvx4yU
The sun is beginning to fall now, so you and Chloe decide to leave the park before it gets too dark. You're walking together, holding hands, when a glint in the distance catches your eye. A flashlight. Shit. You both notice at nearly the same time, sharing a panicked glance.
>"Hide!"
You scan the surroundings for a place to hide. An ancient carnival game stand seems as good a place as any. You leap over the counter, still holding Chloe's hand. In your haste you knock over an errant board resting against the wall, and it, along with a box of light bulbs, come smashing to the ground at your feet. The sound is practically deafening.
>"Fuck! We gotta move!"
>"No time! Under the counter!"
You duck under the table just as the flashlight beam sweeps through the both over your head. It hovers on the broken glass for what feels like an eternity. You hold your breath. You feel any movement will give you up. The guard keeps his light trained on your hiding place for far too long without moving. The silence is crushing, the sound of your own heartbeat pounding in your ears is so intense you worry it'll be heard from outside. All he has to do is look over the counter and you're done for. And yet after an intense wait, the light finally sweeps away, the sound of crunching gravel fading into the distance. After making sure it was gone for good, you let out the breath you've been holding for what feels like hours.
>"Max Caulfield outfoxes law enforcement yet again."
>"Sure. No way did you fuck it up and rewound and didn't plan on telling me."
You make a break for the exit, Chloe in tow, laughing at your latest exploit, making off like bandits into the night.

I don't know if this has been posted here but it is very cute so here

>>151006423
Who has the image of all the times saying "Nothing matter but Chloe"?

It's not complicated.
In the end, Max is not a superhero or a saint. She is a regular girl that does what anyone would do in that situation, she picks what SHE wants.
If Chloe had to choose between Max and Arcadia Bay, she would pick Max every time.
Chloe is not requesting to die. She is telling Max she is the one with the powers so she has the choice to make.

It may not be "right" to your utilitarian mind, but to Max it's her only option. Max spent the entire game helping Chloe and keeping her from harm, she would NEVER EVER purposely do something that hurt her.

>>151006874
It was posted last thread but reposting is always okay as long as its comfy

>>151006981
thank you sir

>>151006423

Max wouldn't you say? But she already has, she chose Chloe over everyone long before the final choice.

William? killed without second thought to bring her Chloe back.

In the storm you have save a whole bunch of people, then Warren tells you everything is your fault because of time traveling. Then what does Max do? She time travels and undoes saving everyone and possibly making everything worse to get Chloe back.

Chloe never requests to be sacrificed she merely offers herself up. She wants Max to choose what Max can live with, but her preference is clearly to not dying. Both choices suck and there is no happy ending, but Max not taking any more actions from that point on is the best thing she can do. Accept that things are messed up, but that killing Chloe to maybe fix everything is not a solution the Max we had been playing would ever take.

>>151006890
But you're ignoring the people who die if she doesn't?

Chloe sees it, and requests of Max to do the one thing that would make it all right. She's got the choice because of her time powers, but her nature isn't one to let people, maybe a couple, maybe hundreds die if she can do something about it.

It isn't utilitarian or about the needs of the many above the few-- whatever is happening, is happening because for some reason causality wants to take Chloe's life. It's entirely possible bad things will keep happening and the death of other innocent people will weight on their hearts and their relationship.

There's no ending where they get to be together. Max has to loose everything to make it so, she has to choose to allow her parents to die, everyone she knows and loves, and allow the world to keep chipping at her while she is constantly thwarting causality trying to kill Chloe.

The Max we know is going to sacrifice her own happiness, if it means she can help everyone else. That's who she is.

I love you Mr Jefferson

Max is not killing anyone by accepting the storm is happening. She's not doing anything to endanger them or harm them, it's just a regular storm and everyone can do things to try to stay safe and survive.
But Max would be responsible for killing Chloe if she goes back into the picture.

Everything else you're saying is mere speculation about more bad things happening, nothing supernatural happened when Max saved Kate or William. So that means using her power at all causes the storm (And as I said, she already used it prior to saving Chloe) or the storm is specifically because of Chloe.
If that's the case then the universe can fuck itself.

Max would not let Chloe die, make Joyce and David feel like they've failed, or doom herself to a life of misery (Plus the fear she will say/ do something else to cause another storm).
She was given those powers at a specific point in time and for a reason: to save Chloe.

>>151008891
I wish when she went back and let Chloe die the storm came anyway.

Yeah, no amount of magic will fix that. Chloe thought paying $3,000 to fix her truck was bad. She hasn't seen anything yet.
Good thing they've got stuff to keep them comfy while they wait for someone to show up and tow them.

Not in a timeline where Chloe was never in that bathroom or where Max never had her power there.
If you say that "the timeline was caused by her power so the storm is coming" then that applies to every timeline after the very fix one where Max originally sees Chloe shot. One she cannot go back into because she tore the picture apart and the one she has is the second taken after she rewinds back to the classroom. That means there's absolutely no way to undo every use of her power, the storm is coming regardless of what Max tries to do.

>>151010214
>If you say that "the timeline was caused by her power so the storm is coming"
Storm was caused by Max making it so Chloe didn't die that monday

>>151010714
So then the storm shouldn't be coming when Chloe was paralyzed and not supposed to be in the bathroom.

There are only three possibilities for the storm
1. Max caused it by using her power at all (She cannot undo every use of her power)
2. The universe is somehow sentient and wants Chloe dead or else it will create a storm (This makes no sense)
3. The storm was always coming and Max's power did little except possibly speed up its arrival (She did get a vision of it before making any changes)

>>151011368
>so then the storm shouldn't be coming when Chloe was paralyzed and not supposed to be in the bathroom.
That's the point tho, she should be in that bathroom and she should die there. Everything else is fucking things up

>>151010520
Once they get it running again it's just going to run out of fuel or have a roadwheel break. Then Chloe is going to be really pissed when she has to start taking them off.
She'd probably just say fuck it and find a Kubel to drive them back to camp.

>>151011592
"Fuck this, let's go find a Sherman"

>>151011556
She should be in the bathroom, but Max also should rewind.
That's the way things originally happened. So if Chloe's death was fate, then so was Max reversing it and saving her.
Max sitting in the corner and not doing anything is changing fate. If you believe in it.

>>151011795
Max didn't rewind on her own the first time tho. She was presented with a choice. And having no tornado in bay ending even tho technicly it's a timeline where the rewind was already used (even if not by choice) means it isn't just about the powers (or most likely it's just an oversight, cause dontnod are dumb)

I played the game through Max's view and she has no reason to think Chloe's death would fix it.
I don't care about oversights or inconsistencies. Or what the player knows will happen. max does not have that luxury and only has what she knows and has done.

Max saves Chloe, some people die from standing in the open during a tornado, the town rebuilds, Jefferson goes to prison, and Max and Chloe get over their issues together to live happily like they've always wanted.
It's not perfect, because life is not, but it's not something that results in endless misery.

>>151012429
Is it me, or does this keep getting longer and longer?
You should add the line from Max's journal about how a dilemma like the one in Star Trek would be stupid. But then other journal lines would start getting added and that image would quickly exceed the size limit and become huge.

I'm not saying that it's the right choice to let her die. I just think with all the inconsistensies aside (because ultimately they don't matter) the endings were done well in a way of actually making it a hard and a personal choice.
I believe that most games present "sacrifice 1 for many" as a good outcome, encoraging martyrdom (cause god knows players get huge boners from it). That's why more people pick Bay.
So you pick bay and the game instantly starts guilt-tripping you with changing photos and music that makes you wanna rip your hair because it hits all the right feels.
If you pick Chloe youre already inclined to feel shitty, not just because of people dying but because you're being selfish as a player (and Max is being selfish too) by denying her wish to sacrifice herself. I think what really irks me about this ending (and I do believe that Max would save Chloe, that's why I've picked it too) is that scene at the very end with Max smiling and Chloe having that "half-grin" thing. Would Chloe be able to live with all this later down the line? Maybe it's just poor in-game models.
I love and resent endings at the same time. They're done poorly from "storytelling" standpoint (don't provide enough answers, don't provide satisfying coclusion with either of them etc.) but they hit the mark with "muhfeels". I would love them to elaborate but that would make the choice easier and ultimately ruin the one good thing those endings got going for them.
On topic of boners for martyrdom I'd love to see numbers if one of the choices would be "Sacrifice Max" for whatever reason. I believe players love self-sacrifice for greater good so much it'd be the most popular one with general audience.

I would have never thought of Kate and Rachel together. Mostly because a lot of Rachel's personality depends on who is portraying her.
They look cute and I could see Kate making Rachel more honest. As well as Rachel teaching Kate how to have some fun.

Saving Chloe is not selfish.
It's keeping all the work Max has done throughout the week to help numerous people become better, it's letting Max keep the friends she otherwise would not have made, and it's keeping Joyce and David alive because I could not see them surviving long if Chloe died.

If a majority of people are idiots that just want someone to make them cry that's their issue. Not mine.
I'm not going to project people who have boners for tragedy onto Max. I'm not going to project anyone's thoughts onto Max, she has her own feelings, thoughts, and motivations. You can see them here >>151012429

If you accept that you're playing this game as Max and she isn't an RPG character, then you should see that choices like ''sacrifice 'someone you love' or the whole town'' instead of ''sacrifice 1 for many''

>If you pick Chloe youre already inclined to feel shitty, not just because of people dying but because you're being selfish as a player (and Max is being selfish too) by denying her wish to sacrifice herself.

She admitted that she was being selfish and made stupid mistakes and was ready for sacrifice herself if Max decides that. That scene was the point of showing her character development. She also says no matter what Max choose she'll be okay with that because no matter what she'll choose she'll make the right decision. Also if you decided to sacrifice town, she doesn't guilt trip on you. She just says ''I'll always be with you'' and Max answers ''Forever'' Isn't that enough?

>I think what really irks me about this ending (and I do believe that Max would save Chloe, that's why I've picked it too) is that scene at the very end with Max smiling and Chloe having that "half-grin" thing.

I watched the Bay ending once on YouTube (Never again) I think that fact that Chloe cannot even say the word "die" speaks loads about her.
As much as Chloe has matured, she's still doubting herself. She said she's not worth anyone else and that her survival was a mistake.
She fails to realize that to Max, she is priceless.

Not what I've meant but okay. Meant it more as Chloe's past history with the blame-game and so on is a foundation for a rocky relationship.

I don't believe people change that easily in every day life even if they do have a moment of clarity in a high-stress situation. My one big problem with the Chloe ending is how there's no elaboration on how their relationship dynamic gonna work after all this shit. As far as cutscenes go sacrificing her atleast from my POV showed alot more of how much Max loved her than the ending where you actually choose her over a town (As far as cutscene go, inb4 "you literally chose her, what else is there to show")

>Max tells Chloe that she doesn't owe her anything and she understands if Chloe still loves Rachel.
>Over a week or two there's more touches and looks from them.
>Whenever they sleep, they wake up cuddling but just get up and don't say anything.
>At first it's subconscious but then it's the two of them testing the waters.
>Go out on friendly dates to "relax and make up for lost time". It ends up with them kissing.
>They eventually confess their feelings.
>Girlfriends now.
>Tell Max's parents, tell Joyce and David, tell their friends. They all notice how happy Max and Chloe are.
>Things are never entirely fine, Max still has nightmares and Chloe has rough days sometimes, but they get through it together.

You know that's not what happens though, familia. The storm is devastating and a bunch of people who sought shelter die and it's because Max was using her time powers.

We as the audience know that because it makes symbolic and narrative sense and--

>I played the game through Max's view and she has no reason to think Chloe's death would fix it.

Max would know Chloe's death would fix it because Chloe and Warren literally explain it to her.

Max is the type of person people strive to be, and at the end she would give the woman she loves what she requested and sacrifice their happiness to save Arcadia Bay.

Not only is Chloe's "request" - however noble you might think it - filled with despair and self-deprecation, but it really is not a request. She suggests one way for Max to get out of the misery she (unjustifiedly) blames herself and feels responsible for. Chloe is giving Max an easy way out and not making things difficult like she knows they were in the alternated timeline. She is willing to give her life for Max; it is a suggestion, made out of love.

Her request however is that Max should choose, and that whatever she chooses, it will be the right choice. Max committing to Chloe, to her own decisions, to her own feelings, if that's her choice, Chloe is overwhelmed with gratefulness. It is an ultimate act of loyalty and love that Chloe has been craving her entire life for - and Chloe immediately reciprocates; taking Max's hand, helping her shoulder the emotional burden, telling her anew that she will always be there with her. Hating her for it? They love each other, their bond transcending time, defying the course of the universe itself. What is a storm to that?

It would be tragically blind and cruel to undo everything she's done, everything they've fought for, just to have Chloe die alone, desperate and afraid, brutally killed in a bathroom. Max dying (figuratively sooner or literally later) with her in that bathroom. The entire scenatio is contrived and senselessly miserable to begin with, but if the answer is that we can never know anything for sure in this chaotic universe and should ultimately stick to our feeling, and that love prevails above all, then that's something I can take.

Max is the type of person who will do anything for Chloe. She already wiped out an entire universe for her. The type who will not, after a week of unexpected outcomes and things going more and more out of control the more she tried to control them, make a decision based on "fixing everything" in self-doubt and self-blame. She will stick to Chloe, one more time.

>>151022414

It's all so fucking clear. The revelations on that cliff...

Why does Max have these powers if not because they are meant to be together? Destiny, fate, love - call it whatever. Pricefield.

Why does Chloe get Max and herself out of the way of the tornado she knows is headed straight for the town, only to then suggest giving her own life after a moment of hesitation right after Max beats herself up screaming "I've caused this. I've caused all of this!"? - If not for her.

Chloe says it all: Max needs to accept how awesome she is. Overcome her self-doubt and stop second-guessing the decisions she's made. She's kind and caring, made her choices following that kind heart of hers. And they were meant to be together. All of that "had" to happen. In as much as it will always happen. Even if Max goes through that photo, she would inevitably go back and stick to all of her decisions and Chloe, then. She would always end up on that cliff again.

The sacrifice Chloe ending is not "wrong". It's just impossible.

Look I get that it's fun to take the piss out of Warren, but at least make sure to blame him for the right reasons. He gets the shit kicked out of him by Nathan, is repeatedly cucked by the girl of his dreams and he has at least one canonical death when the diner exploded with him in it. I'd hardly say "bad things never happen to him".

There's a few examples, try around 53 seconds. I just recoded a video of the storm in-game, then rendered the shot of Chloe/Max separately and overlayed it. So any leaves/debris that shoots directly by the camera appears in front of Chloe/Max, making them look tiny. I was considering doing something more fancy where the video would zoom out to reveal that they were standing inside a snow globe (like that scene with Max in Ep5), but it wasn't really what I was going for, and it would have been too much effort. :P

>>151025226
Fancy. Maybe too fancy; I think it's better like it is also.

...Since that's in-game footage of the storm, a looped version is not possible, is it?

>>151026321
>Fancy. Maybe too fancy ...
You don't know the half of it. I wrote some Python code to open up the video I recoded of the storm, measure the brightness levels on both the left and right sides of the screen (with background subtraction from near the bottom of the screen), then automatically feed the normalised values into the left/right lamps in the 3D software. I wanted the lighting on the lightning to match up. :3

>...Since that's in-game footage of the storm, a looped version is not possible, is it?
Not a perfect loop. I was going to have the start/end gradually fade into each other, but with so much debris flying around the fade was really obvious. Given that the music doesn't really loop anyway, I just didn't bother.

>>151025226
I didn't notice how similar the cliff handholding animation was to Fight Club until I saw your render and then went and re watched the end scene of the film.
Fantastic work as always btw.

I've noticed. Well, you could make one of these atmospheric stills of the Episode 1 snowfall scene? "Tell me everything". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yk0zgxVFuoY

I always have to build the scene myself, none of them come pre-built in the game files or have any position/scale/rotation information (otherwise I'd just write a Python script to do it all automatically). Posing isn't any huge problem, nor are particle effects like snow. I'll consider it. ;)

>>151029142
If it were a playable engine scene though, you could use the free camera, and work with that footage in a render similar to how you did there, couldn't you? If that's at all feasible - I do in fact not know the half of it!

Thanks for considering it. I think it would be cool, especially with custom posing, but if life's already getting in the way that could be a bit much work.

I've been messing around with the Unreal 4 engine as an alternative to the regular 3D software I use. That way I can "render" videos much quicker, and use something that better approximates the in-game look. Seems to work well, though I'm still at the learner phase. I've got an animation idea in mind (and partly built) already to test it all out, but it has been on the back burner for the last few weeks. But yeah, in principle I can do it more as a game scene.

I remember recently some dontnod dev made messing around with the Unreal engine more... accessible to Linux or something - that have anything to do with you considering that option now?

Anyway, looking forward to whatever it is you'll do!

>>151029847
I felt icky posting it, even. I didn't use to when I did in the past, but now I do. The caveat for my Chasefield is always some type of non-Chloe AU, or post-Bay (calm tits, it's a game reality and I'd rather headcanon my way into some optimistic outlook for Max in it. Although the primary headcanon is still that Max would figure it all out in either ending and go back to fix everything, of course. :v)).

>>151030521
>I remember recently some dontnod dev made messing around with the Unreal engine more... accessible to Linux or something - that have anything to do with you considering that option now?
I haven't heard anything about that? Unreal Engine 4 works fine on my Mac, I don't need to spindle it together (like I did to get LIS itself to play!)

It has only been a few weeks since I started messing around properly in it, but I actually can't remember what the actual catalyst was. I think it was a mix of interest from Sbel's tutorial videos (after which I watched through most of the official tutorials on the Unreal YouTube channel), and in wanting a better option for rendering complex scenes. I already built the full scene I wanted to use in Blender, but even with super basic lighting and settings it was going to take something like ~2 mins per frame. Being able to render at near-realtime in the actual game engine should be a huge time saver ... but it comes with it's own problems. :P

"HLSL Shaders" though? No idea that's even necessary to mess around with the engine on Linux or whatever.

I once attempted to make a few renders and was already annoyed at the problems I've faced in an elementary posing program like XPS, so you have my full empathy. But your Blender stuff does have this distinct "Renderfriend" look to it, and that would be lost in the engine? Or is that post-productive stuff you do? Anyway, it'll be unique either way.
