Dark Souls II is fairly distinct from the other games in the series, both in aesthetic and gameplay, but naturally this means it got to try things the others didn't. Unfortunately, many of them didn't make it, including basically a small farm of animals.

My latest video is live! It's a deep dive into the Forest of Fallen Giants of #DarkSouls2.

There's a shockingly cohesive level design that survived a troubled development!

Judging from the early comments on my latest video, somehow this shot in particular seems to have resonated with a lot of viewers.

I've spent very little time in Dark Souls 2 data vs the other games, but even when I dip in for like 5 minutes, I always see SOMETHING that hints towards insane amounts of cut content.

It really cannot be stated enough how many things in DS2 did not end up like they were originally meant to.

Found this cool interpretation on illusory's recent Forest of Fallen Giants video, so I left this comment with a little bit of trivia.

The Memory of Orro, in Japanese, it's called the "Memory of Giant Roh" (巨人ローの記憶), and his names is very similar to Gough's Japanese name "Goh" (ゴー).

I can't take Chloanne's ghost seriously in the map editor, and the skeleton next to her doesn't help either.

Improving Skylight Rendering specifically shadows. Using the surface normal - note this is not the gbuffer normal as that is too noisy and using importance sampling over a hemisphere which is aligned to surface normal. It simulates the sky mask as a large scale AO

Implementing the Skylighting in #darksouls2 lighting engine. Notice the shading(normal map) and shadowing compared to baked lighting. This is not perfect as it will require strategic placement of point lights to complete the scene , however LE allows you to place ambient lights in real-time

Someone just brought my attention to this recently discovered DS2 glitch. Speedruns are about to get STUPID and I can't wait.

You can activate a bonfire and move around w/out resting at it. Enemy AI is disabled. Infinite spell use. Warp/ascetic at any time.

Announcing to the world that I finally beat N-WGIX/v in Armored Core: Verdict Day solo, and got an S-Rank for my troubles :3
With this, my replay of the entire series (pre-ACVI) comes to a close. Just an incredible series, triumph after triumph (yes, even V). A truly unforgettable experience.

Closer look at the blue-eyed Greatbow Phantom from the original Dark Souls II.

She wears a unique NPC-only Hunter's Hat, which curiously enough, has its own item description.

Originally, Gilligan was going to be a slave trader found in Majula, accompanied by the child version of Shanalotte, who was a slave. There, you'd have the option to either buy her freedom or to simply kill Gilligan.

Her model has some bones attached to her waist labeled "String".

Wanted to say thank you all for 1k+ followers here, I'm glad you're still interested in the dumb things I make despite my relative silence the past many months.
