Post places you always wanted to explore in a video game.
>>739866804I love this page and that one with the seaside town.The lighting and background make this one stand out, like you are driving home after a relaxing night out.
Damn, you got me in the soul with this one OP. There was a crappy I spy pc video game that I played a lot too
>>739867741i never realized that but it's actually great and makes it such a product of its time because that yellow sodium light glow doesn't exist in a lot of places now
>>739866804Pretty much everywhere in Super Mario Sunshine
>>739866804I spy a cat, a toy behind bars,two Family Trucksters, one Le Mans winning car,a back-alley crime, a mint ice cream cone,and a discarded horse (its rider not shown).
>>739866804This is cool and all but doesn't really work for modern audiences. Can we add some Pride flags to the image and embed some fortnite dancing gifs and references to iShowSpeed?
>>739866804i spy epstein island
>>739867741
How do you go from this...
>>739869032...to this?
>>739866804My son and I love doing these books together
>>739869068sticking the bits together and doing paint by numbers is hard enough when i just want to play the gameif you can do terrain you may as well just become a real artist and get paid for canvas work or porn
>>739866804This is that 20th Century Man reminiscing over his childhood while combining that with every other facet of that time and then adding a modern 90's/00's sheen to it. Kind of like how Pee Wee's whole aesthetic was that but just a bit older in the 80's and much more avantgarde. Either way, it is supremely comfy and I want a whimsical cast of characters from around all walks of life to take me on a journey through it, meeting characters personified from animals, objects, and concepts, learning about stuff and having fun.
>>739869542Oh yeah also forgot to mention but a vidya taking place in this setting should also take inspiration from They Might Be Giants music and art/album covers/music videos and the IRL equivalent to this whole aesthetic being the City Museum. It is quite kino when visited as a kid. LBP is what I would see as the game that captured this spirit most closely in a video game format. The 90s is like a time where people remembered all of the 20th Century's various art styles and aesthetics. Kind of lime The Nightmare Before Christmas reinterpreted German expressionism. It refined and exaggerated it further. That's how I see the 90's and 2000's doing the same to all of the 20th century aesthetics. LBP did that to the styles but then also implanted creativity into the gameplay itself. But as for the question posed by OP, I would have to say the mansion in Day of Tentacle.
>>739869862>>739869909I read one of these books when I was in kindergarten and when I saw the medieval depiction of hell it freaked me out
>>739869909Where's nutty putty man
>>739869032>>739869068Basically graphicsfags got replaced by guys who think the gameplay is the only thing that matters
>>739866804
>>739866804You should be shot for posting this in such low res.
>>739870015This illustration with the poop chutes, poop tanks, and dead bodies in the moat is forever burned into my mind.
>>739869032Wait were outposts like this?I only started playing recently and they’ve been cutouts
>>739869782I can taste the tetanus looking at this.
back when world of warcraft cataclysm came out, i was in hyjal and i was waiting on a dungeon queue and i was jumping around on the top of a cave entrance, wasting time. i managed to clip through the level and fall through the map. i think i ended up dying after falling far enough. after the dungeon, i tried it again and after like 5 minutes of slamming against the entrance of the cave i slipped through again. this time on a flying mount. at this point i was practically vibrating at the potential. it was like lifting up the firmament. this shit was very off limits.at the time, the firelands raid hadn't opened up yet. there was a big ass locked gate in front of the instance portal. i wondered if i could get in. i flew around under the map and yeah absolutely i could get under the gate and walk right up to the raid portal. i invited a guy in my guild so i could make it a raid, and i walked through the portal, and it fuckin loaded in the raid. it was totally empty. i mean no bosses or mobs or anything. but i got to see it. it was surreal. i ended up exploring more. i found a big river under the map in felwood. but other than that i couldn't come up with any other shit i wanted to check out, and i got afraid i'd be banned so i just popped back into the map and kept my mouth shut. i took a whole bunch of screenshots and uploaded them to photobucket, but i have no clue what the account would be, so it's all just lost. when they did wow classic cata, i thought about getting a sub just to go see if i could try and find the cave again and see if if it was still unpatched after all this time.
>>739870141don't forget Fortunado down there buried into the prison wall
>>739870141>poop chutes>dead bodies in the moat>look closer>dead bodies in the poop chute
>>739866804Nice, one anon. For me it was this one.
>>739869862>>739869909>>739870141Oh fuck the memories are rushing back in. I can smell the scent of those pages.
>>739871293nah that's the garderobe
I fucking loved Future Dream in mario party 5, most of the maps in 5 were comfy but this one I would imagine being in to fall asleep. I would also imagine myself as being scizor the pokemon, I thought that was peak cool
>>739870631That's a good memory anon
>>739870762>>739866804Anyone know where I can find all the pages online? I couldn't find a scan of them anywhere, nobody uploaded them as far as I know.
>>739868119Those are pretty good rhymes, anon
>>739866804>>739870762Man I remember checking out I Onions books from the elementary school library and I am getting the urge to just order some from amazon right now.
>>739871560if they're so good you should be able to find all of those things
>>739866804A few years ago, I went out and grabbed some OG I Spy books - the sets are so beautiful.
>>739871417they really loved maps with islands in mp5, didn't they? I personally thought the space map was just a less interesting version of the weather sky map. I liked how the centerpiece tied the 4 islands together.
>>739871465Do you remember in classic when you could sneak into the inaccessible hyjal area pre-raid. And you could wander around and see all the sort of placeholder stuff and the beginning sprout of a new world tree?That was good stuff. It doesn't get as much attention as the kharazan crypts but it was still good.
>>739870057Tall and more solid buildings I've found can do a lot to alleviate the letters-shaped ruin look, but what's criminal is how austere it really gets. Rather than fighting over a seemingly real place, you're just playing over Tetris pieces with objectives that don't even represent anything, you just stand in circles. At least the next edition is seemingly taking notes to just moving them into the buildings, but time will tell if it's somewhat restrictive in setting up tables in a nicer way.>>739870307GW does sell themed terrain here and there but also used to produce books that told you how to make terrain from polystyrene blocks, PVA glue, shit tickets, cocktail sticks, and other knickknacks. That is more an in-house example of their artists taking initiative themselves. The problem with scenic boards is that they are often too lopsided for as much as they're cool to play on, and a myraid of factors moved to the current style, namely:>rules adjustments overtime moved from being intuitive, to being abstractions>the average unit's mortality in 40k today is far worse than it used to be>players are more or less pushed or corralled into 'competitive' and away from narrative, doesn't help that things for the latter are the weakest they've been>as an extension to the above, simpler terrain makes it less painful for TOs to organize and making everything ruins is less things to keep track of
smg2- no other galaxy left the same impression on me as wild glide. it was the most inviting stage i'd ever seen. as a kid i so, so badly wanted to run around the jungle on foot instead of flying through it
Dream machine always sucked me in no matter how many times I picked it off the school library shelf
>>739871525Found one at the farmers market thing in town
>>739870284Jesus I miss Star Wars
