Well I went to college which was where I started learning it.

But here are two tutorial sites I know of. You should be able to make a start here if you're serious.

Oh cool. Im barely in my 2nd semester of college, which should give me time to learn it. Im currently doing a photoshop class, and I think Ill get a class on modeling and animation later.

After 13 years, GameTrailers is closing down today. Thank you for your continued support over the years. It has been an adventure.

GameTrailers is shutting down.

They weren't the best sometimes but damn, it's the end of an era.

I may not have agreed with everything they said, but the gaming world will feel a little emptier without them. I wonder why it's so sudden?

 

[Kenith]

You know what'd be awesome as a Platinum game?
Viewtiful Joe or Okami.

They both seem like a perfect fit for Platinum.

...
...Wait...

I'm assuming it wasn't sudden, but in a day and age where Youtube is practically the Internet's dictator, anyone who isn't the mogul is either pushed down or ignored.

I mean honestly, think of one video site that has the popularity of Youtube.

The point of Undertale isn't the gameplay.

It's the story and getting to know each character. Even the enemies.

The simple gameplay works because it allows the plot/characters to be the main focus.

Undertale isn't so much of a game, but an experience.

Adding more "game" dilutes what it's good at.


Undertale really shouldn't be more action packed.

The whole point of the game is to make friends with your enemies. Things are kept very simple so that its possible.

I think a Zelda-esque game would able to make those characters shine.

Think of Ghirahim, Groose, or Midna for example, Zelda games are able to put those characters in the spotlight when they show up in the story whether they're in combat or not. Whenever you're talking to someone or examining something in Zelda, its put into the spotlight with the object or person being focused with the game's zoomed in camera.

An Zelda-esque Undertale would act in a similar way. It can make the story and characters standout as well.

Either that's poor planning on the employer's part, or something sudden happened.

Wow, didn't expect GameTrailers to close its doors...

Ezio. I don't even play Assassin's Creed. It's just a decently memorable name. XD

Thank you, I always forget it, and haven't really played the game.

 

[NintenZ]

So I made somewhat of a big change to my roster,

It's mostly the same as last time, but I decided to have Bayonetta have her costume from the original Bayonetta as her default outfit, as I feel that out of her outfits it's the most recognizable of the two.

NVM. Ignore this post.

Yay! Today officially marks that I finally downloaded EVERY SINGLE song from all 5 Super Smash Bros. games. From all 5 games plus the official "Smashing... Live!" album, the total haul count is a whopping 750 songs (note this also covers fanfares & jingles too)!

Here's a lowdown on what my collection contains (broken by game universes and which Smash games they debuted in):

And allow me to clarify how I handled Smash 3DS/Wii U:

- 3DS: Music that can be first heard in the 3DS installment (ignoring patches/DLC music)
- Wii U: Music that can be first heard in the Wii U installment (including patches/DLC music)
- 3DS/Wii U: Patches/DLC music that launch on both 3DS & Wii U at the same time.

Whew, glad I finally got that soundtrack finished!

So in other news, VGFacts had a piece of trivia of how Don Bluth could have made a Pac-Man game.

Spoiler

Shame it never got the light of day. Getting the Dragon's Lair guy to make Pac-Man would've been astounding.

Go to pinwheel maze

It's got some sort of weird filter all over it to make it more disorienting.

I don't think I like it


Also, I like how it shows the moves of your character when your selecting them. But there is still no way to find out what they do out of battle. I know what they do, but I'm still sure it would be better for people to know out of battle

People still hate clones and would rather cut them for the sake of cutting than have a few more free characters.

It's 2016 people. . .

Well I never said I hated them...

I just cut Lucina due to the amount of Fire Emblem characters and made Dark Pit and alt because convenience.

I might need to make some visual aid to explain the Zelda-esque Undertale concept better.

Although that will be at a later date. As I have lots of things to do this week.

Oh it's okay, I think that the clone hate is pretty unjustified.

Well, I'd cut them only if they were replaced with original additions. God knows I love Roy and Falco as characters, but I feel, as I look at the Wii U CSS, that the final roster rendition would seem more appreciable if it wasn't filled with clones here and there.

Some people tend to bash on the FE franchise for having three clones, and pour suspicion over Ike for being "similar" to Marth. The sad thing is, Marth and Roy were introduced as clones of each other when SSBM launched; which is why fans don't acknowledge that as standalones characters, they each brought a new, original gameplay style to the table with its own specificities.

"At some point I'm going to have access to some morphball technology."
Not.
"The game will teach me to crawl."

Actually is Bayonetta's 1 alt more preferred as the default, or her 2 alt?

People straight up want to cut Lucina and Dark Pit simply to cut them.

not dislike for their characters, but because they are clones and thus impure.


And that is what annoys me because they jsut want to cut things because of some made up criteria in their head and because they aren't *insert shoo-in newcomer here* . . .

 

[Burruni]

I say Bayo 2 because it's the one that gets the option of japanese voiceware, is the more "Nintendo" one, got used in her actual trailer in the forefront, and....
The beehive doo STILL looks dumb to me.

I personnally dislike Lucina. Dark Pit... I'm still in the midst of playing KI:U and I'm having a hard time trying to figure if I actually like the Pit's or not. Palutena is a no-go for me, that's for sure.

I'll add to my previous post that Ganondorf is slightly less excusable as he straight-up stole Falcon's moveset from a previous entry in the series.

 

[Radical Bones]

Speaking of clones, I'm kinda annoyed Alph didn't get the clone treatment like the rest. He must have been so close... add Rock Pikmin instead of Purple and boom.

Then we'd have 1 more character and 1 more amiibo.

 

[Kenith]

I have always preferred Bayonetta 1 and anyone who says otherwise baffles me.

You take that back

Funny enough the beehive is the one that actually makes sense considering her hair powers.

I'd only accept them as alts if it was a new game that allowed unique movesets when being that alt. Which likely will never happen. It's similar to Ryu's alternate movesets in Marvel VS Capcom 1. That's cool. Otherwise, nyope.

 

[Substitution]

And clones have been a thing in fighting games for a long time now. It's not just Smash that does this. There are plenty of moveswap clones or characters made by slight alterations.
Heck, I could argue that Smash 4 is a small fish compared to other names. Really when you think about it the game only has three clones in a 50+ cast. -- one of the three (Doc) could be considered a semi-clone at best. That's pretty impressive for a roster that size.
