>>123520221
They definitely are! Are you drawing on the side, or wanting to make a job out of it?

I've doodled since I was little, and dedicated a couple weeks to it as a hobby. It's amazing how much you can improve when you learn how to draw with your eyes instead of your memory.

>>123520781 Here again. I also wanted to say not to get discouraged, and call your stuff "shit." We are frequently our harshest critics. Developing a new hobby is hard, especially with drawing. You're using hand muscles in ways they've never been used, and developing hand-eye coordination.

If at all possible, I'd recommend joining some kind of group while developing your art skills, preferably a fucking supportive group, and not a bunch of jerks. Positive criticism from peers, along with the motivation that comes from a group environment, are very useful to developing a hobby.

This takes some explanation.

Back when I was about 9 or 10, I used to make little comic books and posters about whatever the fuck I could think of: superheroes, cartoons, and video games of all kinds. You could say I was born with the talent; all of my relatives are involved in the arts in some way.

The question "hobby vs. job" is the one question I can't answer. The more I grew up, the more I became interested in gaming culture and gaming technology; I have more fond memories of games like SMB3 and Sonic 2 than regular childhood memories. I wanted to be a part of the industry, but I also wanted to make cartoons...like another animator turned let's player we know.

Long story short, I don't know which path to take, and it's fucking up my college experience.

Person you replied to here. I'm 29 years old, and in my fourth year of college. I'm finally in the second year of my degree. What I had to do was stop pussyfooting about what I wanted to do, and pick a direction.

I picked programming, and told myself I'm not changing careers or majors ever again. Things that affected my decision was job availability, guarantee of stable income, and most importantly, the potential for improving. I got lucky, found a tech support job, and will be starting an internship there as junior developer next year.

Out of curiosity, how old are you? Are you looking for a career that you think will be fulfilling, or something pragmatic that will give you a house, food, and a couple of kids?

Also, you have to keep in mind that your idea of what the industry is like is not always a reality. I've heard horror stories for both the animation and video game industry. There's always the success stories that inspire us, but they are success stories because they're not the norm.

I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but I just feel like I may have been through what you're going through. I wasted a lot of years wanting to be a renaissance man.

18, Freshman at my local college, going into "Digital Media".

The biggest problem is that I've barely done any research into either career. I don't know how to use ANY animation software (besides fucking Stick Figure Animator) and the only video game I've ever made is a shitty 2D platformer using GameMaker, with stolen assets. As far as my job experience goes, I'd be up for anything at this point.

And yes, I'm fully aware that I'm not going to get as good as Disney or Nintendo right off of the bat, I'm going to have to wade through some deep shit if I'm even going to get into Volition.

>>123524863
Ehhhhh, no offense, but "Digital Media" sounds like wasted money. Then again, I'm concerned with the hard benefits my degree can offer me. Is that like at a technical college? I personally would recommend going to a technical college. Two year degree and cost way less. A lot of them have specific courses for transferring to a 4 year college as well. The tech college I attend has a full video game development degree, and only takes 2 years to complete.

It sounds like you might be in classes with other folks who have made some games, huh? It just sounds like you're comparing yourself to other people. You're fresh into college, and not expected to know how to use any of those tools. Hell, I love video games, and I'm making a simple text-based RPG for my project. Sure, it's not super fancy, but I'm having so much fun with it.

Again, if you're in a 4 year college, I highly recommend taking a look at local 2 year options. By the time you're done with that degree, you'll either be happy with what you have (and most importantly, employable ((tech colleges focus more on jobs instead of "enlightment"))), or you'll have a better idea of what you want to do with your life. You'll also have a lot less debt, heh. I'm currently at 22K debt with student loans, thanks to trying a 4 year degree at first.

Things change fast when you're that age. I just hate hearing stories about people getting a full degree, with all of its debt, at such a young age. Shortly after, some of them realize they wanted to do something completely different with their life.

No, it's just a regular run-of-the-mill general college. I'm only there for two years, and then I'm transferring...somewhere.

Nobody else in my classes (except maybe one of my professors) has any experience making any video games or animations whatsoever, which I should take as a big fucking hint that I might be on the wrong path.

Finally, I don't actually have any debt at the moment. Benefits and grants payed off my first semester no problem, and I almost have enough for the next one.

I'll bite, but only because it'll give people awake at midnight or later something to read.

>open world
This will go out of style in 5 years or less, hopefully because people will realize that most of the "open" parts are just artificial padding and an excuse to make as little content as possible. Plus, it in no way fits with the Sonic style.

>dynamic weather
Pointless. Sometimes barely atmospheric, sometimes annoying, and always tacked on for no other reason but to flaunt the production value of the product.

>frequent boost gauge alteration
If you're even going to put a boost gauge in a Sonic game, keep it a set length and make it extremely difficult to fill and extremely rewarding to use. Having it filled to the brim from destroying loads of badniks, then taking it away because it's a "populated area", is a tedious and absolutely retarded gameplay mechanic in my opinion.
>>
>>123532889
Well, I want a Sonic game that gives you a feeling of liberating freedom and speed, and let you explore without feeling like you're boxed in one lane like in the boost games. Like Prototype where you can fuck around running on the sides of buildings, do parkour, etc, but on a grander scale that also incorporates zones that are more platform focused.
>>
>>123533282
Here's the thing. I feel like that could be done without going full open world. Honestly, all you'd need to do is just fuck around with Lost World's mechanics a bit so they work in actual levels, and make said levels incorporate a lot exploration, but less like Prototype and more like the classic games or Advance 2, where skill+ curiousity gets you rewarded
>>
>>123532889
Let's see.
>open world with emphasis on speed and exploration
Most open world games where the fastest normal mode of transportation is a car are decently small and are usually empty. This has only ever worked in favor of the game with the Fallout games/just NV since it's the only good 3D one. With Sonic's speed, seeing the whole map would be something done in hours instead of days and that map would be empty as well since there is no direction or focus or level design in general since Sonic is a platformer and should stick to that in some form otherwise he completely loses his identity gameplay-wise.
>literally just Prototype but...
That would be glitchy and uncontrollable as fuck with Sonic's movement abilities. Go play Hulk Ultimate Destruction and turn on a speed hack and see how well you can control how he moves.
Dynamic weather and day cycles are tertiary and don't really matter.
>kncukles hide and go seek without a radar
What a stupid idea. That's the next step backwards from SA1 after SA2.
>limiting Sonic's speed in an open world game with an emphasis on speed and exploration
That would piss off almost anyone playing the game. The people playing would be the kind that would just want to go fast and go to cool places quickly.
And that's not even taking into account how a game like that would never be able to be made and would be a financial sinkhole if was greenlit for production.
There. Almost every idea in that thing is dumb and stupid and both.
>>
>>123533502
>What a stupid idea. That's the next step backwards from SA1 after SA2.
Not to mention they already did that with Rouge in 06.
>>
>>123533676
Oh yeah. Fuck that shit.
>>
>>123533502
>limiting Sonic's speed in an open world game with an emphasis on speed and exploration

The reasoning for that is because going full speed in a crowded place will cause collateral damage. Zones will have Unleashed speed which you already know is pretty fucking fast, with the hub world upping the speed limit.

Literally Unleashed but instead of having a world menu for getting around, it's a bigger hub world.
>>
>>123533718
I've never seen someone mention this, but one of the biggest problems with Sonic 2006 isn't even the loading times, or the level design, since I played it on a late-gen Xbox so the former wasn't a problem, and I usually just adjust to the latter. The problem is that all the characters dn't seem like they want to be there. Rouge sounds eternally bored, trying her hardest to express emotion but not quite doing so. Sonic's voice feels devoid of energy, Omega now has a generic robot voice. Tails's voice, its worse than even Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Heroes. Its worse than having an actual kid do the voices. This goes hand in hand with how the level aestetics are the blandest and most generic ever too.
>>
>>123534073
Hell, this even extends to the animations. Nobody really emotes or has any interestin animations. It's very stiff and lifeless, and it's the antithesis of how Sonic should be animated
>>
>>123533961
Or instead of allowing him to cause collateral damage, just don't or just don't give Sonic access to cities. There really isn't anything to find in cities if Sonic is just running around exploring shit.
>>123534073
Yeah the characterization in that game was awful but the design and story of the game is and always will be the worst part of that game.
>>
>>123533502
>That would be glitchy and uncontrollable as fuck with Sonic's movement abilities
Then build the map around it. Ultimate Destruction isn't a good example because it obviously wasn't made with speed in mind.

>Knuckles
Wasn't my idea but it had exploration so, meh.
>>
>>123534073
>>123534209
Thankfully this was remedied in Unleashed.
>>
>>123534219
>Then build the map around it
Then the city would cease to be a city. And having endless stretches of plains and forests would be not only boring but unfeasible to create. Ultimate Destruction with a speed hack is a perfect example of how Sonic would end up traversing a city in a Prototype-like manner.
>>
>>123534409
Not really. I'd say it would be like Empire City if the boundaries were removed and all the buildings could be ran on.
>>
>>123534685
>crowded thin streets full of shit or going up and down buildings like someone multiplied a sin function too hard

>>
>>123535029
Yeah. It'll be vast empty flatlands and forests, too. It would be so riveting!
>>
>>123535086
Yup, depending on how much detail they put in the hub world, and dynamic weather, it could be quite an experience full of freedom and excitement.
>>
>>123535236
>Yup
That was sarcasm as was the post before it.
It's either detailed and small or empty and large. It it's the former, they'd be better off just making bigger normal levels. If it's the latter it would just be shit.
It would be an experience full of confinement and/or boredom.
>>
>>123535393

Not a single open world game has ever EVER managed to be large and detailed. Such a thing would require a copious amount of time and money that a company would just not be willing to shell out for such a thing. The risk is too high for such a meager reward since the demographic would be small to begin with. The one thing Sonic fans do have in common is that they enjoy playing a platformer when they play Sonic. Only a small amount of that player base would be happy with the product. It's a shit idea on top of just not being practical. Try not having the flimsiest defense ever next time.
>>

>Such a thing would require a copious amount of time and money that a company would just not be willing to shell out for such a thing
Or couldn't, in Sega's case
>>
>>123535881
Sega Sammy has more than enough money to do such a thing. They just wouldn't be willing to trickle down enough to Sega Games or Sonic Team to do such a thing. And the only team making open world games regularly is Bethesda and I'll kill myself before I see them touch this franchise with their grubby hands.

>>
>>123535758
It doesn't even have to be open world, but the scale of the boost/adventure levels are too fucking narrow to get that feeling of freedom I want. Unleashed had the right idea with the hub world, but it's not enough.

Then do not ask for open world. The inherent flaws with such a thing are numerous. Just ask for big open levels instead. At least that implies a start and an end that has focus and design in mind.

Did she even know what she was putting in the soup or did she just grab random fucking potted plants.

Maybe pre-reboot, but that's fully organic post-reboot
>>123572483
The latter

>>123572554
Are you joking? It's confirmed she's robotic down there in this new reboot as well bruh

Oh, no, they've learned very well.
They know you fucks WILL pay to play, and that you DON'T have standards. You're acting like making a skinner box unfair and reliant on your wallet wasn't their goal here.

Maybe if you're talking about her legs, but her 3D render (Plus literally ever on panel appearence of her) says oterwise
>>
>>123573437
Outside of one panel, drawn by a literal DeviantArt DBZ fanartist, only her legs and arms have been metal.

And that's not even getting into the fact that her robot parts in this continuity are prosthetics, so unless her crotch got destroyed by that building (It didn't), it's fully intact
>>
>>123573851
They started out roboticized before being replaced with prosthetics, same as the old continuity. The only difference is that the implication for the new continuity is the rather logical "metal versions of an 8 year old girl's limbs aren't going to fit a teenager" instead of the melodramatic "YOUR ROBOT LIMBS ARE KILLING YOU!"

Right, I always forget that detail
>>123574412
Congrats, that's one page for your point, compared to every other appearence of her in the reboot, which doesn't have the metallic crotch
>>
>>123574412
See

She's wearing a one piece that covers it up. Don't be stupid Anon.

>>123551443
YOU KNOW

>>123574842
And Dulcy's nosering is secretly a power ring she paints black.
And Sally fell into a chemical vat.

Sometimes an art error is just an art error.
>>
>>123574842
Or she could have had a bracer plate on the older model. This logic goes both ways, m80.
>>
>>123570992
I put it out of its misery.

>>123569735
>Trusting anything of dark color and soft from Sally.

>>123574412
Could argue that it was a temporary brace to help her balance or ease the pain of the nerve damage there. Once it recovered it was no longer needed.

>>123574990
I must be the only one that liked that Sally explanation.
>>
>>123574990
Adding onto this, it wouldn't be the first time Bunnie's midsection was drawn wrong (One of the little details of the pre-reboot is that nobody could decide on whether she had a metallic crotch or not, even into Ian's run. It varied from artist to artist) And judging how that comic origins story was the only time it was like that (And it was drawn by one of the few mediocre-bad artists on the comic), I'd wager it's an art error
>>123575067
>>123575086
These explanations also make sense because that same story showed her having trouble with walking
>>
>>123574842
>>123574990
>>123575067
Can't we just do the sensible thing and send a letter to the comic people about the fictional cyborg rabbit's crotch area?
>>
>>123574990
So your logic is just because it's not being shown now it doesn't exist? If I'm understanding you wrong, by all means set me straight otherwise that's tarded.
>>
>>123575207
Or just ask Ian on twitter. He seems good about answering dumb questions that I throw his way.
>>
You people are arguing over dumb shit that doesn't matter to anyone other than furries.
>>
>>123575250
Not that anon but Bunnie's metal crotch pre-reboot was a thing because one artist made a mistake and artists after that kept it that way.
>>
>>123575196
>>123575067
>>123575086
>>123575086
wouldn't this page prove she still has it? That it was just operated on, to be less robot-like or more real looking possibly? Maybe she felt because of how it looked after the operation she felt it needed to be hidden?

Hmm, maybe you're right.
And maybe Gala-Na is Red.
