Modder for a bunch of games like Dark Souls, Fallout NV/4/London, Mario 64, Balatro etc. He/Him/They/Them/Dont/Care. Pansexual. British (It's terminal I'm afraid).
Just beat HL2:Ep2 and nowadays if I find a game and it's engine interesting I try and learn the basics of modding. Messing around with fixing up textures and adding lights/props around the intro trainstation rn. Just a pet project atm but if everything doesn't explode maybe I'll add it to workshop.

The color of bosses in DSR are often super washed out. The harsh contrasty overexposed coloration is integral to DS1's style imo. Here's some comparisons of early bosses, DSR OGs being the lighter ones.

Testing putting Oolacile areas back into Darkroot as part of the inaccessible vista. So far looks very nice with Artorias's arena. Restored PTDE lighting also makes the fog hide the fact I had to the generic brick texture over it all lmao.

Quelaag's concept art design is pretty neat. It'd be crazyyyy if someone made their own version and put it in the game. Just a random thought.

So since I now have a DS1 OST disc I ripped it to flac and got curious if there was any difference to the in-game quality. Used Foobar ABX Comparator with Firelink theme and got 3/4 right blind identifying which version was which. I think there's a tiny difference but not worth implementing in-game.

Lot has happened today. Found a DS1 Limited Edition copy for cheap, talked to the owner of the store for ages, he offered to hire me for repairs which I very well might take him up on. Bad news is some stuff of mine got stolen lmao but honestly that's expected around here. I'm safe and chillin.

As much as the big content addons are cool I also want to fix a lot of the weird edge case bugs in the game. Very grateful for @illusorywall.bsky.social's content as they continue to be a great resource for soulsborne mechanic explanations while keeping it entertaining.

Holy shit lmao.

Been busy fixing a lot of minor background stuff in the last few days but Life Gems from peak, I mean, Dark Souls 2, are now in the game. It's the weakest of all the healing item ports I've done but it gets the participation award.

Just found out supermarkets call gingerbread men "gingerbread people" now. Honestly? Good. I get a devious craving for christmas snacks and I will not discriminate. Tell me where the gingerbread folk are at and I'll descend like Attack on Titan.

#ImmerScreen Loved the payoff of seeing Ceci struggle with melee after always playing mage builds and finally seeing the raw power of BONK

Changed the lighting in Firelink to be sort of a half step between PTDE and Remastered. Also starting the process of going through the map and trying to make each little encounter more memorable while still keeping true to the original look and combat flow.

It's simply peak.

You drive a hard bargain mister but I'll take that deal.

Now draw my son Ben Rodriguez in a santa outfit.

Retooling the Kiln by removing the black knights and just having it be a somber walk to Gwyn with echos of fallen bosses looking down on you. Also retimed Gwyn's theme to have an intro leading into plin plin plon.

A very minor thing I want to do once I start doing map changes to the rest of the game is making bonfires fit into their scenery better. Just a few bits of debris surrounding them to make them more than just mounds of ash somehow rising out the ground.

That's the moment she hits you with the "Wanna play League of Legends?"

Ok so the Fluted Set I teased was actually very incomplete. I only realized until after posting it suffered from small vertex explosions from improper weight painting and the whole thing needed new specular texture maps. Here's a clip of all cleaned up!

Say what you want about Doomsday Clock but I love this interaction. Pretty much the process every time you recommend peak fiction to a friend but they have school or a job so they can't binge watch it in one day like you did.

I'd clown on her but I know I'm equally as skill issued if not worse.

DS3 imho is one of the lesser visually interesting games in soulsborne but 99% of it for me stems from filters muting colors wayyyy too much. Not a problem reshade can really fix either. So mods like this are greatly appreciated, keep cooking king.
