PREVIOUSLY IN SECTION 99: On the trail of the ruthless Outlier pirate lord Aldous Hargrave, Section 99 operator Van Parker, a cybernetic hitman with the callsign of CANINE-06, infiltrated one of the Dread Captain's safehouses on the Planet Evergreen. There, after eradicating enemy opposition in a signature showing of his messy ultraviolence, he came upon Hargrave's long ...

2024-07-22 21:19:29 +0000 UTC View PostI hate this time of year. I love making art, you, and despite what I think some days, myself.
Yeah call me a victim of Pacific Northwest Stockholm Syndrome, but I can't stand bright, I can't stand sun, and I can't stand heat. I love rain, I prefer cold, and the dark lets me do my best work. Yeah that makes me sound like some sort of edgelord, but like? The hell with it, I know what I am: someone who look out on a summer day and go "seen it, next," then go back to bed unt...

This match is a nihilistic clownshow and also a lot of fun, proving that sometimes conceptual paradoxes in popular culture are the most interesting topics of conversation, even if they ultimately mean nothing.
Man that was a lot of 10 dollar words to describe husky men assaulting each other with literal trash cans, huh? Sheesh.

Project 99 is going to be a dungeon crawler, true, but there's a sort of vision I'm going for with Operators where I don't feel right with them just sitting quietly as portraits on a Party Menu. Expect something more akin to a fighting game's character select menu, that's got a ton more bombast, including my voice announcing your selections as some sort of horrifying hybrid of Shao Khan and SHODAN. To accompany this, is Warp Spasm, a track that's essentially me doing what I can to represent t...

Remember in that presentation, how I'd have to pursue the vibes I wanted on that background track in a set of elements, because licensing with it was weird? Yeah, here's the new track, built using CC License elements. It's now 100% More Silent Hill Haunted, though more in a 'gentle, calming, room where you can Save Your Game ' vibe. Which is fitting, as this is for your base, which is a Save Room. Perfect, it worked out!

Yes, me writing a seething, barely restrained bundle of emotions that's set off by violations of worker's rights (or really any violation of rights) is an allegory to explain what it's like to still sometimes hear the voices of toxic bosses you no longer work for, waking you with barked orders just as you fall asleep.

"You point to the Op4 taking a smoke break, she's the one that triggers the Three on a Match Curse from a klick and a half away."
Another operator from Project 99, this time one based around precision fire, critical hits and making the enemy fear the unknown via ballistic trauma. She's also somehow the most and least chill Taoist you know, which if you know how that philosophy shakes out with regards to Yin and Yang, that's not actually very ironic. Extremely a "pay your fu...

And now let's all listen to the sounds of a more honest present day.
2024-05-16 23:14:46 +0000 UTC View PostColds suck, and that's why I speedrun them.
I've been a busy beaver getting Project 99's audioscape into a substantial state. This means stuff like weapon sounds, from equip sounds, to reloads, to semiauto and burst fire? All in a usable state. UI sounds, from clicks, beeps and errnts, and even some neat retro-computing fan noises and hard drive flogging when you go to the game's submenu? Yep, that's good too. What about mission accepted, mission complete jingles? Yeah, t...

Hey, it's your Act 1 Combat Theme, or at least a placeholder version of it, if I get the urge to add more to the mix to make it bigger.

Another dungeon backing track. This game's going to have a distinctly "prowling around on a rainy city night vibe" and I'm glad the music is hitting to that effect.

Trying to branch out into more character design, here's the WIP for the first Operator on the team I'm showing off: Charles-Caesar "Flak" Barròn. Chuck-C's a heavily augmented machine gunner and rocket trooper, a beast of a man who's me attempting to answer the question "Hey what if Sundowner from Metal Gear Rising was a goodhearted, humble, well adjusted person despite his circumstances."
"Who occasionally still bellows I'M FUCKIN' INVINCIBLE!!!"
Enjoy

Look, understand, I didn't do this when I got paid to in games. This is not something I specialized in, so I'm working slowly but surely to make up for lost time. Even still: I'm really pleased, even if this is a WIP with some slight alignment issues.
Bonus: look, containers!-

There's nothing I can add here that the title doesn't. Man, I sure said Carl Styles a lot in that one paragraph. That was weird, glad I do an editing pass on these. Eventually.

So yeah, this isn't exactly final, but I'm proud of how it looks so far, so let's go with this for the time being.
So what's all this then?
Hey, this is a sample of what I've been working on, in terms of bringing Section 99 to life in a playable form. Anyone who's interested in the whole shebang, I'll have the entire weapons arsenal as I've sketched out for this thing rendered in audio form for you to enjoy.
