I'm clicking but nothing happens. The splash screen reminds me of indie games like VVVVVVV. posted by Lovecraft In Brooklyn at 7:13 PM on July 10, 2011
Ah nice. This aesthetic was a bit before my time, but looking at maps of ancient games in Retro Gaming magazine makes me happy. Reminds me of that. posted by Lovecraft In Brooklyn at 7:34 PM on July 10, 2011
He needs to spend less time on theory and more time visiting the CG Society. There's LoFi minimalism and there's Can't Be Bothered to Learn the Software. The notion of making CG fine art with United States Geological Survey data sounds as source material seems really promising, but he didn't actually do much of anything with it. I don't expect a Blizzard game trailer, or even representational art per se, but for crying out loud, at least take a color theory class. This would have been laughed out of EVL in 1998.
Minecraft is a tremendously compelling lo-res 3D experience, and a heck of a lot closer to Bauhaus than this. posted by Scoo at 7:58 PM on July 10, 2011 [1 favorite]
