Thanks for explaining, as a digital artist I always feel out of place in these situations and I never know where to put my stuff or how to work alongside all the analog artists. Sometimes I just sit on the floor, with everyone else, towering (almost tripping) over me, standing by their easels. Very out of place.

But how do you set your devices up on the easel? Or do you draw on your lap? Do you draw standing up or sitting down?

They look incredible. Is this digital? Is this Gimp or Sketchbook? Can you share your setup? How do you judge the brightness of your screen when in a brightly lit room?

Technically, unless procedurally generated with nodes, there would be a normal map texture/bump texture applied to the soup to get those reflections.

That's just to make sure people don't actually sit down on the ham, as it's collecting aroma.

Now it makes sense.

Can you explain them? Not having worked with them, I'm still in the "but why?" phase of complex numbers.

Didn't see anything else, in this video, that looks like the incredible rug.

Let us know if the sound of a big rug being shot, or the sound of someone walking by a big rug that can be shot, but not shooting it, wakes you up.

There are flags at 1:18:00, that look like they might react to gunfire, but they are not shot at.

Also, the rug was not part of any game mechanic. It was just a great rug. So it may be a PhysX exclusive rug, which I don't know this longplay used.

Yes, but all my memories are from the Windows demo, and that may not even be part of the full game.

This is a good guess, but I don't think the gameplay involved this much sneaking from what I can see at first glance.

 

Platform(s): PC

Genre: 2D top down shoot 'em up

Estimated year of release: 2002

Graphics/art style: Probably pixel art, I'm pretty sure the background was just black with stars flying by.

Notable characters: Your red(?) space ship collecting chicken legs

Notable gameplay mechanics: You are in a red(?) space ship in space trying to order chicken legs (drumsticks?), but the space KFC or whatever drive-through is all out. So you just floor it and shoot your way through the galaxy and collect chicken legs.

This may or may not have been a browser game.

 

Platform(s): Windows PC via Steam

Genre: Action/Shooter

Estimated year of release: 2000-2010

Graphics/art style: 3D third person shooter

Notable characters:

Notable gameplay mechanics: I tried a demo of a game on Steam many moons ago, but I'm certain it no longer is on Steam. Here is what I remember:

It was a third person shooter and early on in the demo you encountered this big rug hanging on a horizontal pole in a small backroom with many crates. You could shoot the rug, and it had physics calculations, that made it move believably.

[Fig. 1]

Then you encountered enemies in a huge room with ramps. Somehow you could take control of them or use your mind powers on them somehow. They had an aura to indicate this, which I think was a light blue.

[Fig. 2]

The same level also had a puzzle with ramps that were held up with hooks on a chain. You could mind-power those hooks to move them, so that the ramp would come falling down and let you walk up, or let enemies fall down.

[Fig. 3]

I know that many signs point to Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, and it looks close to what is in my mind, but I have not found any footage of the incredible rug, or the hook puzzle that I remember so clearly.
