Rambles about the mod: I started developing the mod in 2023 but it was too ambitious for one person to make, so I didn't really make much progress.
It would be about being on a comet which orbit is really eccentric (most of the time is far away, and then it gets REALLLY close to the sun, inspired by the interloper from Outer Wilds lol)
The ice melts or sublimes when it gets close to the sun, and then it freezes back again when it goes far, creating some interesting puzzle ideas..
The idea was to have all sorts of cool things going on like navigating the caves inside to protect yourself from the sun's radiation, slingshotting yourself to the the comet's natural satelite, and derailing the comet by controlling where the gas evaporates from ( maybe even intentionally crashing the comet into the sun, because that's the only way to charge the massive alien battery stored inside the comet, and that energy is needed for some big thing to happen (The story isn't really thought out, but it could be really cool) )
I made the OST mostly to act as "concept art" for inspiration, just with music instead of drawings.

But yeah, I made some songs for it, and this is my favorite one!

I dunno, I really love this track Every time I worked on something cool I thought I should put this song on the project, but I thought that I should wait for the "perfect" project for this song, but there's really no point in holding on to it, it's just it's own thing
Maybe someone else will appreciate this collection of sounds the same way I do, which would be pretty neat
I could upload the whole OST if ppl wanna hear more (4-5 songs) I really like the outro track too-
sorry for the bad english btw
so yeag

Rambles: I love how the lighting turned out here, with the stars as well
The lighting uncovers so little of the map, but sometimes less information is better because it leaves room for imagination for the brain to fill in the blanks. I think this is the reason why low fidelity graphics can be so immersive

Also my first attempt at making choppy animation lolYoure doing good, boy [SFM]NvC_DmN_CH2023-10-08 | "are ya friendly??"
Some things about the process of making the vid:
I chose to render it at 720p because the stars looked very contrasting at 1080p or more, and I liked the smooth look of 720p more. And to prevent youtube compression from obliterating the quality I uploaded the vid at 2k ))
I hope people won't be disappointed when they see a 1440p option only to realize that its still 720p lol whoops
Also SFM decided to not render the radio tower sprites for some reason !! So I had to remake them in blender. I don't complain tho since I finally got to learn how to do motion tracking. Its very cool and alot easier than I expected.
Also the smoke sprites clipped pretty noticeably inside the APC so to make it smoother, i exported the video from sfm 10 times and the final vid is the average of them all - making the smoke look abit smoother. Its kind of dumb since I saw that SFM can make particles soft in the main preview mode, but I couldn't find why it wouldn't export it in this higher quality smooth way. But at least I did a few things for the first time because of all this and I'm glad!
