OKB-812 Design Bureau
Announcement to the scientific team
This installation, located secretly in the middle of the jungle, has scarce resources, please do not cause waste of scientific materials and electronic equipment.
Obtaining this equipment involves very complex logistics.
We ask that you do not waste food and pay attention to the pantry located on the second floor.
Thank you for your attention.
Research Director
Aleksandr Leonovitch Granin.
marsh badger
Hey, that's good. Though I don't think it would be signed by Granin. I mean he's in his soft prison of an office drinking his sorrow away.
Is Ivan "Child-Bearing Hips" Raidenovich in this facility or is he a bit later? I forgor
flat bolt
Ivan is a bit later, in Granin base in this case is better without being signed by someone in that case
flat bolt
Sure, I'm just adjusting the layout
I will do a version in english in the layout, them we figure out togheter
I think will work better visually
marsh badger
I'm just thinking " do not cause waste of scientific materials and electronic equipment." is usually told directly and right before science crew begin working in the facility. The more plausible thing on these notes is usually about food, repairs or warnings not to escape
flat bolt
Yeah, but also I want to link the part of the food too because there is a pantry in there, is a hint for sabotage
But instead of just science team, military personnel too
Nah....
marsh badger
Delayed supplies, perhaps? When running an insurgent team this can be a problem.
flat bolt
Scratch that
marsh badger
Oh
flat bolt
Looking carefully in this
Remembers me something of an announcement
Not an warning
marsh badger
Yeah. I'm thinking of something like this
Attention members of the Design Bureau OKB-812!
Our caring leader Comrade Volgin has taken the trouble to get for us
Cereal!
That's the only word that's visible there
flat bolt
LOL
marsh badger
It's also game-accurate so
flat bolt
Yeah, Volgin is like a big bully kid so makes sense
marsh badger
He may be a son of a secret government guy but that doesn't exclude him from logistics problems
Not like he would care
marsh badger
If Volgin miraculously became the leader of the Soviet Union, every worker's revolt would just be a Bloody Sunday, but with nukes
marsh badger
flat bolt
The points that guy put are pretty interesting
He is a bastard because he is a bastard, simple as that, not deep like the other characters
marsh badger
He is like Ivan Drago from Rocky IV but twice as evil and his lightning powers made him gay
@flat bolt
Attention members of the Design Bureau of OKB-812!
Our caring leader Comrade Volgin has taken the trouble to get us Krupchatka!
Yes, yes, you heard right! From the very capital, from the very heart of our Motherland, this scarce product, this food gem was brought!
Cereal flour is not just a product, it is a symbol of a high standard of living! It is a sign of recognition of your services to the Motherland!
Coarse meal is a guarantee of healthy nutrition, a source of energy for your ingenious inventions!
Hurry up to get it in the pantry located on the second floor!
marsh badger
Monty Python-escue shit right here
flat bolt
LMAO, I read now like John Cleese narrating this
flat bolt
LOL
Okay, I will send the entire text to put in russian
I mixed a bit of yours and mine
Attention members of
the Design Bureau of OKB-812!
Our caring leader Comrade Volgin has taken the
trouble to get us Krupchatka!
CEREAL
Yes, yes, you heard right! From the very capital,
from the very heart of our Motherland,
this scarce product, this food gem was brought!
AGAIN, CEREAL
Hurry up to get it in the pantry located on the second floor!
THAT RICH SON OF A BITCH,THAT HAVE THE PHYLOSOPHERS STONE
I MEAN LEGACY, HE DID US MEAT? FILET MIGNON? NOPE, CEREAL
THE PREVIOUS WRITTER DIED RIGHT NOW STRUCK BY A LIGHTING IN
THE BATHROOM, SOOO... PEOPLE OF THE FACILITY, DON’T BE DICKS
BE GRATEFULL BECAUSE VOLGIN GIVE US CEREAL, HE COULD GAVE US
HORNETS, LEAFS, BURNED STUFF, EVEN SPIDERS, BUT HE GIVES
US CEREAL. CEREAL AND MILK CEREAL AND MILK
CEREAL AND MILK.
SERIOUSLY NOW... WHO WILL READ THIS POSTER?
NO ONE, UNLESS IS A MANIAC BY DETAILS THAT HAVE HYPERFOCUS
AND KNOW RUSSIAN, AND NOT THINK THIS IS ANOTHER LOREM IPSUM
TEXT THAT EVERY COMPANY DO EVERY SINGLE GAME.
YOU KNOW WHO WILL PROBABLY DO SOME SERIOUS TEXT?
THE TEAM BEHIND DELTA. BUT... NAAAAH.
IF THEY NOT MAKE A TEXT IN THE ORIGINAL WHAT GUARANTEES
THEY WILL PUT A TEXT LIKE THIS IN THE REMAKE?
I COULD MAKE A BETTER TEXT? YEP, BUT IS MORE FUN THIS WAY
TOO, YOU AGREE?
SEE YA
flat bolt
LMAO
For now as a placeholder I used google translator, but I got the PSD saved
Is more because I'm curious to how it will look ingame
That other one looks like a table of employees
marsh badger
I'm working on it. You will probably learn a few words by the end
flat bolt
And I have a perfect idea for that
No problem, take your time
The PSD is saved and easy to redo
Layout wise looks pretty good, just need to adjust the borders
But looks something I would face in a soviet secret lab in middle of the jungle
marsh badger
Внимание членам Конструкторского Бюро ОКБ-812!
Наш заботливый вождь товарищ Волгин потрудился достать для нас
КРУПЧАТКУ
Да, да! Вы всё правильно прочитали! Из самой столицы, из сердца нашей родины, для нужд трудящихся привёз он этот деликатес.
КРУПЧАТКА!
Спешите взять по талону в кладовой на втором этаже!
ЭТОТ БУРЖУЙ И СУКИН СЫН МОЖЕТ ЗАСУНУТЬ СВОЙ ФИЛОСОФСКИЙ КАМЕНЬ В СЕБЕ В ДЫМОХОД ЕСЛИ ДУМАЕТ ЧТО ВМЕСТО МЯСА МОЖЕТ ВПАРИТЬ НАМ МУКУ!
В предыдущего плакатщика ударила молния когда он принимал ванну. Так что... Товарищи, будьте благосклонны к щедрости нашего вождя!
Серьёзно кто это будет читать? Наверняка какой нибудь задрот голодный на детали в играх знающий русский язык. Это сколько? Один процент игроков? Меньше?
И да, я мог сделать текст лучше, но кого волнует? Так же веселее, вам так не кажется?
Покеда.
If the Soviets even had a jungle
Here's a quick deepl translation:
Attention members of the Design Bureau of OKB-812!
Our caring leader Comrade Volgin has taken the trouble to get for us
CRUMP
Yes, yes! You read it right! From the very capital, from the heart of our homeland, for the needs of the workers, he brought this delicacy.
CROUPCHATKA!
Hurry up and get it by coupon in the storeroom on the second floor!
THIS BOURGEOIS AND SON OF A BITCH CAN STICK HIS PHILOSOPHER'S STONE UP HIS CHIMNEY IF HE THINKS HE CAN SELL US FLOUR INSTEAD OF MEAT!
The previous poster boy was struck by lightning while taking a bath. So... Comrades, be gracious to the generosity of our leader!
Seriously, who's gonna read this? Probably some nerd hungry for details in games who knows Russian. What's that? One percent of players? Less than that?
And yes, I could make the text better, but who cares? It's more fun this way, don't you think?
Bye-bye.
flat bolt
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING
marsh badger
It translated a swear simply as a bourgeois. Something is always lost in translation
flat bolt
marsh badger
The second word in the rant is a nickname for all the rich people refusing to share with the people. It's a combination of the words bourgeois and eat. So basically "bourgeois that eats his money"
flat bolt
There is a lot of space left yet, want to add more jokes?
We also have bourgeois in portuguese, here we call "Burguês"
marsh badger
Heyyy
flat bolt
And bourgeois rich son of a bitch we call Burguês Safado
marsh badger
There is a lot of space left yet, want to add more jokes?
Just make the font bigger. It's supposed to be a simple announcement that went on a tangent and not a rules board
marsh badger
Men will look at this and just think
Hell yeah
But really, this kind of shit is always SOOO pleasing to find I games
marsh badger
No need. Just replace in the top right corner on this:
scratched date.scratched date.1964
flat bolt
marsh badger
We don't know the exact date Snake Eater takes place in
marsh badger
Oh, make it a day earlier than
flat bolt
Or a week?
marsh badger
Yeah, a week is better
flat bolt
August 23, 1964
marsh badger
It's I would imply that Volgin knows he was called a sob to everyone to see and he just doesn't care
marsh badger
I'm still conflicted on the star though
flat bolt
It's I would imply that Volgin knows he was called a sob to everyone to see and ...
Or he is too dumb to notice that
marsh badger
Both
flat bolt
Remember he shouted to everyone about the Phylosophers Legacy
His arrogance is his dumbness
marsh badger
Least egomaniacal stereotypical bad Russian in media
flat bolt
And honestly, this is fun, having him that way
Is pretty clear in the game he is being dumb
That hes been manipulated by everyone too
marsh badger
That Snake torture scene where he convinced that he has no spies in his base
flat bolt
Ocelot had his reasons, The Boss had his reasons, Eva had his reasons, no one is following Volgin plan because agrees with him
flat bolt
That Snake torture scene where he convinced that he has no spies in his base
EXACTLY
He was surrounded by spies
marsh badger
I don't think he ever talked about his plans after taking power either
flat bolt
Would be great if in the secret theater they put a scene when he talked that everyone busts on laughts
flat bolt
I don't think he ever talked about his plans after taking power either
I disagree, he probably talked to everyone, but no one take him seriously
The thing is... the guy was rich
marsh badger
He's basically buff gay Palpatine
flat bolt
Well Palpatine was a lot smarter in the prequels
But the Jedis were not very smart too
Was kinda obvious
That one I guess is a personnel list and I have a pretty good idea what to add here
marsh badger
To me it's just looks like a timeline of achievements
marsh badger
Administrator, Linguistic specialist, don't know anyone else
flat bolt
I'm trying to relate with the experiences I have with each people
Probably I will start to write general stuff to make more serios
marsh badger
I like mine
marsh badger
I'll get some good ones
flat bolt
marsh badger
Good
But there must be middle names and last name at the beginning or just last name and initials.
I'm thinking of filling the rest with names of known people and joke names
flat bolt
Good idea, meanwhile I will create the table
Phew, I think is good enought
Obviously google translator want to fuck a bit
marsh badger
Sergei Burunov - military officer (one of the most popular actors in Russia, he's like in every fifth movie, the most famous role is a short-tempered police officer from Rublevka (district for the rich))
Alexander Petrov - lieutenant (also an actor, the main handsome boy of the country).
Danila Kozlovsky - junior lieutenant (THINKS he's the country's main handsome boy).
Alexander Nevsky - a chicken specialist (Russian Schwarzenegger, all his movies are on the level of Tommy Wiseau's " The Room", a walking meme).
Maxim Dedov - emotional support (fictional character Ded Maxim with an absurdly huge penis from the song of the same name)
Replace some with these

It took me a lot more time than I'd like to admit to fact-check every single job title
flat bolt
Need just one more job, the last name is fictional, so yoy can put anything that comes into mind
marsh badger
Top should be

The era called the Meme War
marsh badger
This fucks
flat bolt
Plus other pictures, I put some "prototypes" of Metal Gears, after all Granin was researching just that
And the Shagohod being built
marsh badger
That's sick
But why the third pic is just statue of Lenin in snow?
Hold on
I have a brilliant idea
flat bolt
To not just focus on the stuff they created, because is to show the patriotism of Granin
marsh badger
I've seen countless biopics about cosmonauts that put their accomplishments front and center for all to see
I have a better idea
To show an "evolution"
First pic should be this bad boy
It's like, Granin saw this and thought "Nah, this shit is wack. Tank needs legs!"
The second and third should be with proto Metal Gear and Shagahod
flat bolt
OHHH now I get it the idea
Done, let me compile into the game
The cool thing about the third one being the shagohod is exactly what pisses Granin
After all was sokolov idea
Fuck I made a mistake, the order is inverted
marsh badger
Environmental storytelling
flat bolt
Environmental storytelling
Yep, like Half Life games
MGS3 don't have so much visual storytelling, but I guess was because the limitations of PS2
The ambient is looking gorgeous
I need to think what to do whit the walls, they are pretty well made will be really difficult make them HD
Remembers me a bit of the Fisk Tower walls in Spiderman remastered, a bit of white marble
marsh badger
I'm trying to figure out what kind of material is this
marsh badger
That's concrete
flat bolt
I'm searching in my depot of Black Mesa textures to get something similar (I'm also a Black Mesa modder, hell, I made mods for a ton of games)
marsh badger
Anything worthy of sharing?
flat bolt
Sure, let me show some of the mods I made and some I collaborate
My Steam workshop
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1716194553
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1704884160
These two for Black Mesa I'm very proud, I redid several of the props in game, old tech and high tech
The vending machines are also something I'm very proud, I did from scratch based on the HL1 low quality vending machines
Based on these ones of 1998
marsh badger
I'm beyond amazed
flat bolt
A modern take
marsh badger
Not just from this but because I saw your work before
You're the guy that made classic H.E.C.U retexutes
flat bolt
Yep, its me, I'm also did a huge project for assassin's creed 2
But that one I put in moddb
If you see Renan something in modding, be sure its me
marsh badger
HOLY SHIT THAT'S YOU?!
flat bolt
Yep
marsh badger
I remember finding your mod after I finished the game and wanted to scream
flat bolt
I have all files here, and plus, I was working on a new version but unfortunatelly AC2 engine could not handle so much redid textures without crashing
marsh badger
Even now after EaglePatch?
flat bolt
Not sure, but the ideal was working without texmod, directly into game using AnvilToolKit
But is a lot more harder than even MGS3, because for example, in MGS3 modding we unpack, repack and put in the folder.
In Anvil engine well, you need to do a lot of steps to replace one texture, and usually the same texture is in a lot of subfolders that you can only acess using the toolkit
Texmod is a LOT easier
But less stable
I need to try again using Eagle Patch but knowing the engine I'm not very confident
marsh badger
But less stable
Tell me about it. NFS Unerground 1 Redux is a terrific mod but man did it suck to crash right after finishing the race and see your progress getting vaporised
flat bolt
Yep, unfortunatelly these old games are really bad for injecting HD textures
Texmod and Umod needed an update for more stability
Curious thing is they used to be a ton more stable with old videoboards
And in old systems as well
pulsar carbon
I'm very impressed with this project
marsh badger
And in old systems as well
That's true. I didn't had any issues on my Windows XP bucket
flat bolt
When I started AC2 retexture project was in Windows 7 and a crappy PC, and was pretty stable in 4k, when I buyed the new one on W10 and an RTX board it gets crazy
Problem is not the system or the hardware, but the tool, in this case Texmod that was not updated
flat bolt
I'm very impressed with this project
Which one? The MGS3 Retexture? Thanks man
marsh badger
Anyway
I thought for a moment and I think it's a very smooth marble. The kind you would usually find in the top brass administration buildings and a Moscow metro
flat bolt
Yeah, makes sense, meanwhile I'm working on the other walls
Are 3 textures, but they get togheter as one
So... I put all of them togheter in a single file to edit
marsh badger
That's a prison block, right?
marsh badger
Ah
flat bolt
You can clearly see the details
Is really hard to identify if is concrete or metal, I will try concrete because sounds more realistic
marsh badger
Idk but seeing just the texture alone made me think of like every single industrial facility I had to go through. Kojiboys really did a great job of getting the vibes of a Soviet bases
flat bolt
I had a texture here that I use for Black Mesa, is for a future environment but recoloring could work for the cables
marsh badger
Is really hard to identify if is concrete or metal, I will try concrete because ...
Oh, it's definitely concrete.
flat bolt
marsh badger
I think that's pipes
marsh badger
Two on a side are pipes and tiny one at the top is a copper cable
marsh badger
Hmm
I think the pipes should be the same color like the lower half of the wall, like painted with the same paint. This is a trend that fucking refuses to die
flat bolt
I want to make the color of the pipes similar to the original texture, to not lose the vibe
Maybe I can make them less saturated
Yeah, looks a tiny better, I will add details after that
I have just the texture for the things that locks the pipes in place
marsh badger
Yeahhh. Washed out blue. I can feel my lungs taking in the stale air through the screen.
flat bolt
But will be more like this
Because the way the light reacts in game
One interesting thing I was talking with JimLafleur some time ago, a long time ago about metal boxes in MGS games is the same for walls
Textures in MGS games are pretty unique
They have a unique design for simple stuff
marsh badger
Do they also fucked in the same way as something like in n64 Zelda?
flat bolt
A bit, but I was talking more about the design itself
The pipes for example, they are pretty unique if you look at the details
marsh badger
Yeah, you right
On a closer inspection the look like tubes for a vacuum cleaner but copper
I wouldn't be surprised for a second that Kojiboys (and girls) actually just used a tube for a pipe texture
I mean, Capcom used half of the window as a door for RE4
flat bolt
Would be weird but plausible at the time
Since several offices uses similar tubes for air contioning
But also we could be wrong because I'm using the upscaled textures as basis for reconstruction
The original ones are so tiny that even enlarging is impossible to see something
marsh badger
Damn I forgor that it's a jungle facility. I just looked at pipes and instantly thought they were for heating
marsh badger
I never been in the south of Russia to fact-check if they have heating pipes or not
marsh badger
Looks good
flat bolt
Well, Tselinoyarsk is fictional
So we could get reference where soviets had influence in tropical areas
And military bases
marsh badger
Nah that looks plausible. Just darken them a bit and a little random bumps on the sides. That should be enough
marsh badger
Looks legit
flat bolt
Now there is this thing, could not be a light switch or a fuse box because the size, wtf is this?
And is really high up
marsh badger
No wait
It's this kind of light switch
I think lowering it a bit would be great
Or if not
BRUH
flat bolt
Nah, is better high to be high fidelity to the original, besides MGS3 textures are full of surprises if you rearrange
flat bolt
AWESOME
Now we need to find a good frontal photo of it
In that angle I can't insert
Maybe that one in the middle?
flat bolt
LOOKS GREAT
Okay, now time to save
Now a bit of fake normal map
And them split into 3 to put in the game
marsh badger
Oh this is beautiful
flat bolt
Very very subtle fake normal
But the real thing will come now, I'm separating each one to put in game
marsh badger
I had to double check ten times to notice but it does look better
flat bolt
Yeah, some textures is so subtle that you almost not notice
But I do that anyway, became an habit
marsh badger
A good habit!
flat bolt
I used that even in my work (I'm a graphic designer) someday I was making a front of a shop
Well... the fusebox here is not being very good
For a realistic approach looks weird
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
It gaves me an idea to adapt into that one
marsh badger
Nah that's a whole another thing entirely
Instead of fuse-switch unit you can just replace it with plastic box
flat bolt
But I removed the fusebox, but in general result looks pretty good, impressed me a lot the result
marsh badger
Yes. It looks great
flat bolt
I think just the metal would be enought
marsh badger
Want me to find this metal box?
marsh badger
An equivalent
flat bolt
Oh yes, because the texture name itself I already found
In fact are 2 of them
One with that yellow thing
And other with nothing
We can use the same for both and change a little detail to differenciate
What you think?
marsh badger
Yes. I found something similar but in profile
flat bolt
Or that one? I can clean and we can write something in russian, I think would fut
marsh badger
That's too new
flat bolt
Yeah, so the first one
The one with the yellow thing I will put an warning decal
I know I had one cool enought in my .dds folder of Stalker, so could be used
marsh badger
If you have Stalker textures just used them whenever possible
flat bolt
You know what means that text?
marsh badger
It's Ukranian. Something-something Military Free (like free from the shackles?) Gazoline A-7 Reversed "E"
flat bolt
So could not be used, I know there is some of danger and stuff
In the middle of 3000 textures
I guess is that one?
marsh badger
I guess is that one?
"Do not enter!"
flat bolt
Yeah, is better use the classic warning sign
marsh badger
With these spaces in between
marsh badger
Also Ukranian and that's about a gas attack
flat bolt
That one looks like russian, and google says is soviet era
marsh badger
These were post 70's
Use this lightning bolt (flip the image)
This kind of warning was common on very old electric shit
flat bolt
Some text or just the bolt?
marsh badger
Just the bolt
Red
My physics classroom had really old tables with sockets that had this bolt
flat bolt
marsh badger
A lot thinner and A LOT smaller
flat bolt
marsh badger
A little bigger
flat bolt
marsh badger
A tiny bit wider and we're golden
marsh badger
Good
flat bolt
This gave me an idea, not for the project but just imagination what would be cool in delta
I know will be 1:1 remake but... More options of sabotage is always fun
In MGSV we take power generators down, right?
In MGS3 is just sabotage the food and the weapons warehouses
Would be pretty interesting in some urban areas Snake could cut the energy when he had a chance
Soldiers would have more difficult to find him but also would use flashlights
I know that would not happen, but damn would be so cool
marsh badger
Now that's just asking to be implemented. The whole electrified fence fiddling would turned pointless against you
flat bolt
Yeah, but not the fences, the fences is just shoot and good, I mean inside buildings
Like granin facility or Grozny Gradj
marsh badger
What interests me the most about Delta is how are they going to make all those signs on Russian look. Cause more money doesn't mean more quality. I still laugh my ass off every time I remember Rise of the Tomb Raider's Siberia levels good God
flat bolt
And in AC3 one of Desmond levels is in Brazil
IS NOTHING LIKE BRAZIL
One game that have a high fidelity of a bad part of Brazil is Max Payne 3
marsh badger
I was just about to ask you that
I heard that besides UFE being evil doppleganger of BOPE everything else is on point
flat bolt
BOPE is not also very good, but is very complex
To be honest, Brazil is big, BIG AS HELL, a country of real continental proportions.
There are quiet and safe places, for example the interior of the State of São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, etc.
And there are places like Rio de Janeiro, some favelas in São Paulo city (capital of the State of São Paulo)
marsh badger
I watched Elite Squad 07 and heard a summary of the second one. Is what shown there true to life?
flat bolt
The problem with the police, especially the BOPE, is that our police in general are militarized, that is, they are not punished directly by the civil judiciary, but by military rules.
This creates problems from the police in each state to other "squads" (that's the word that most resembles it) such as BOPE, ROCAM, ROTA, etc.
So there is corruption, A LOT of corruption.
Not all troops are corrupt.
BUT... those that have it do damage
Generally you won't see these guys attacking rich, playboys.
But almost any police force will beat the crap out of poor black people
Remember, not everyone.
But unfortunately it does. And depending on the state governor or other politicians and militia forces (very common in Rio de Janeiro) this is highly possible
Could be better? Yes.
But also could be worse.
HELL YEAH
marsh badger
That looks good
flat bolt
I will take a break, lot of editings today
marsh badger
That's cool
marsh badger
I thought it was a piece of door
marsh badger
I never saw a frame on a table in my life
Like if you remove it, it will just look like the table I have in my room right now
marsh badger
tabl
marsh badger
"So, how does it taste?"
marsh badger
Prime fast food experience
flat bolt
This is the best thing I do for playing in keyboard
Switching the keys
H is to far away for CQC button
flat bolt
LOOKS SO BETTER
flat bolt
Also, holy shit that's a lot of servers
Mostly about modding
marsh badger
LOOKS SO BETTER
This like Doom 3 Redux mod now in terms of quality
flat bolt
Never played that one, makes doom 3 better?
marsh badger
It's a retexture mod like yours and it does, yes. Compared to the gameplay I saw on youtube it's like someone finally removed all the soap
I never really noticed in my gameplay though. But I also haven't played the game without it so
flat bolt
Ohhh I need to try
Doom 3 is my favorite
Even more than the Bethesda ones
The Bethesda ones makes you feel awesome and unstopable, and is not my type
Doom 3 in otherhand makes you feel helpless
marsh badger
Die Hard on Mars
flat bolt
Exactly
marsh badger
I have the exact opposite feelings towards the game
I spent my childhood playing WADs with gameplay mods for Doom 2 (like 7 years ago) and coming to Doom 3... It felt interesting
The level design is mostly variations of corridors but they FLOW
I had no idea where I was going or what I was doing but I had a "gut feeling" or an actually invisible guiding hand showing me the way
Also the main theme is greatest TOOL mashup of all time
But everyhting else I'm very not sure about
I understand the shotgun. It looks like a shotgun, if sounds like a shotgun but it's actually a power-fist from Fallout
And the demons don't really balance each other out or at least that's what I have felt
flat bolt
Yeah, this was a problem, the shotgun, but I think there are some rebalance mods
I read people complaining about the flashlight
I LOVED THE IDEA back them
I grew up playing Half Life
So is easy just press F and boom, flashlight on
But the necessity of change your weapon to the flashlight
With demons hunting you
In a small, pitch dark corridor
This was great for immersion
I died to many times, but I feel immersed
marsh badger
I've read many comments from people who played Doom 3 when it came out. I legit can not imagine how it felt like to go from Unreal 1 gorgeous reflective surfaces to the fucking stencil shadows
I felt similar only when I saw a reveal of CoD Modern Warfare Remastered back in 2016
flat bolt
What the fuck is this?
marsh badger
That's a big opened fuse box
flat bolt
One more thing to redo tomorrow
The biggest boom when I was young was playing Half Life 2
marsh badger
Same
I went from GTA San Andreas on ps2 to playing Episode 2 in my classmate's home. I thought I was playing a movie
flat bolt
At that time I was a kid, today I'm 32, almost 33 years old, at that time I was 13 or 14 if I remember correctly.
I didn't have a good computer, at home it was a Windows 98 SE, with an extremely old Celeron 900.
I played Half Life 2 in an internet café, it was AWESOME.
Every day I went there after school, played for about 30 minutes to an hour (it was very cheap at the time, R$3.00 for half an hour) so I calculated that by going a little bit a day I could enjoy it without compromising my teenage money.

That's awesome

It was from there that my interest in graphic design and modding arose.
As my computer at home was weak, I only had Half Life 1, and I learned how to modify it for the days when I didn't go to the Lan House to play Half Life 2, that's when I downloaded Photoshop for the first time.
So, to go to the Lan House more often and have more money, I started making business cards, birthday cards for acquaintances and relatives, charging a low price.
marsh badger
I'm kinda going through something similar right now
flat bolt
With that, my mother saw that I was hardworking and gave me a better computer, in fact, only 50% of it, she made me pay the other 50% with whatever I earned.
Because we were not in very good financial conditions at that time, because my father had died
marsh badger
My condolences
flat bolt
It was in 2005, no problem man
Long time ago
Time passed and when I turned 19 I studied advertising and marketing, and I've been working with it ever since.
In several advertising companies in my city, until recently I worked making art for automotive gates
And this year I passed a public competition to create social media art for my city council, and thanks to that I can work peacefully from home.
I'm a happy man
marsh badger
I see
Mine is a local Finnish breed
We went on a such a tangent we're talking about our life's journeys and pets

Okay, I'm moving a bit of Granin's Facility to the next area, the Fear fight scenario is basically done since I already did it previously
But the other areas ahead, Svyatogornyj and Sokrovenno I'm still working
That small part is really a challenge to find the correct texture, but luckly is just there
Here I add some roots
Maybe I could darken it a bit, but still not sure
Grass blends pretty well
And the mud is courtesy of JimLafleur
Here another part of the roots
In the west things looks a bit brighter, but blending well
I tryed to mix a lot of green with mossy rocks to give a cool tone, but unfortunatelly could be a TON better if we had grass in it, but the engine is old so is not possible, I bet that part on Delta will be dense as fuck
In isometric this looks amazing
I KNOW SOME WILL KILL ME
Svyatogornyj IS A LOT more green now
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
This is just a test to see how it behaves
copper current
i think delta will make it more dense in order to make the end harder to see
flat bolt
As you can see a lot of areas still have markings to know the location
flat bolt
i think delta will make it more dense in order to make the end harder to see
I also think that, because in one of the parts of the trailer they show the location
But with Ocelot unit instead of the end
Here too
I need to tweak that
flat bolt
Well, I mixed one texture Jim made for Dremuchij with my grass and I added a fake bump mapping with overlay and simulates pretty well the color difference of MGS3 ground textures
Also some markings to know witch thing is witch, for tomorrow I work in the hut itself
But in jungle aspects looks pretty dope

WIP
Right now the Hut lacks personallity, I'm planning to add some dirt in it, after all is abandoned in the middle of the jungle
Still have some bugs I will fix later, but I have an idea what is
These ones just need more shadow and fake bump and will be ready in no time
That one is the Magnum Opus of the moment, I will just add a bit more of dirt in it

I have my habits too, I like to go in reservoirs to swin
marsh badger
Are they clean?
marsh badger
There is a river in my small town and everyone knows that it's mostly sewage at this point that is likely to give you AIDS if you dare to swim in it
The fish from it is perfectly fine though
flat bolt
Well, Brazil is curious
Some rivers are pretty poluted like Tietê river
Pure sewage
But reservoirs in the interior of some states, rural properties mostly are pretty clean
That reservoir for example is close to the Sucuri River (I not recomend swin there because the Sucuris snakes)
BUT
The reservoir itself is free of snakes and other dangerous animals, and the water is totally clean, is great to swin, camp and do a barbecue with beer nearby
Even fishing
marsh badger
What the fuck is this?
I've been trying to figure out what that soap of a texture was and still lost

I wanted to suggest to also add vines but remembered it's far away from the trees

I think vines is too much, not the idea was not good, it is, the problem is MGS3 textures sometimes are a bitch

That’s interesting, I wonder if there’s anymore textures shared with other Konami games

im not sure
hiro usada worked as an artist for mgs3 and sh3 so they prob just put her art in the game as an easter egg
graniny gorki is littered with her art so

I wish game companies would hire people like you to update the textures.
When Kingdom Hearts was released on Steam, SE updated the textures with AI, which they were ALREADY using AI, and I do understand that it requires money to get it done, but damn bro, you are just 1 guy doing this on your free time, yet companies have a bunch of employees and they rather use AI than to manually touch up the textures.
Every time I see something wrong or broken with a game, I always tell my wife : the gaming community will fix, give it time.
and I don’t have anything against AI upscalers, I use them sometimes, but that wont fix every single texture.
flat bolt
I'm going to explain, as someone in the advertising industry, why companies do this.
Even though I'm now appointed to the social media department by my city's city council, I still freelance for some advertising agencies, so I'm well versed in the field.
Companies, whatever they may be, whether game developers, industry, or any segment, unfortunately only seek one thing: PROFIT
Even if the result is not that good, even if the quality is rubbish, they prefer to exchange a qualified and dedicated professional for a crappy AI, why? Cost cutting.
An employee costs much more, he may get sick, he may have problems, he may demand a higher payment because he knows his value.
In the society we live in today, companies don't care much about the quality of the product, they only care if the product is viable.
If there are naive idiots buying, they will sell
marsh badger
First volume of Master Colletcion sold well and there are people on this server still hoping that mgs4 port won't be shit
If it will be at all
flat bolt
I'm not going to be a hypocrite, I use AI as a tool to save me time.
But I'm totally against an AI replacing a professional, but I have this point of view because I'm a worker, ask if my ex boss has the same point of view, or if a CEO of a Ubisoft, Bethesda or any other company has the same point of view.
While we debate the artistic point of view of how an AI is soulless and clearly lacks that intention that comes from the soul, the CEO of a large company is on a yacht, drinking expensive champagne, with two whores giving him oral while he laughs of us workers.
I hope more modders use their creativity, do something artistic, at least so that this area still really contains art.
Because if it depends on the goodwill of companies, we are screwed
Changing subject...
I'm putting dirt into the furniture
I don't want to change the saturation because I want to give a aesthetic of abandoned Chernobyl furnitures that we see on some photos
