www.twitch.tv/TerminusEst13/ All right, I took a week off. Time to get back to mapping. Gonna try my hands at a Dead Simple clone, the classic mapping cliché, so might be a short night tonight. Please feel free to come along. Let's work together for a brighter future. #vtuber #envtuber #streami5

Since double game night was cut a bit short last week and I am very excited about Enigmatic Worlds, I'll be starting with that on Friday and then go back to mapping on Saturday. Schedule will go back to normal next week. Dev house on Friday, game night on Saturday.

I appear to have come down with a cold tonight, so that plan for double game night is getting put on hold. Sorry, mates. Enigmatic Worlds for Game Night next week!

Last week was my birthday week, so my friends are encouraging me to take this week off of devving and do a double game night.

Turns out there's quite a few #Goldeneye campaigns out there and I never knew. I knew there were hacks, every game under the sun has a hack of some kind. And, sure, I thought there'd be custom levels. But I thought it was, like, the author's house or such. Boy was I wrong. There's GOOD STUFF here.

GoldenEye is incredible. Amazing how much it holds up. There's a couple things that are a pisser, like inventory management and a couple rather daft objectives, but those are minor wonks. It's fun to play, fun to replay, and fun to do challenge runs on. I love it so much.

www.twitch.tv/TerminusEst13/ It's been almost 30 years, and #Agent64 reminded me of how good it was. Time to do a casual run of one of my favorite retro FPSes, #Goldeneye007. I only recently got 1964GE up and running, so I'm quite rusty. But it'll be good to play again! #vtuber #envtuber #streami5

Another #speedmap for UZDoom. A colleague noted I use lotsa doors, and I could generally go without. So here's a try at only a few doors. Except for monster closets. Those have doors. drive.google.com/file/d/1LcGY... As before, no difficulty/multiplayer spawns, etc. #doom #doommapping #crafti5

32 years ago today, we held the launch party for DOOM II at the Limelight in NYC, a former church. Happy birthday to DOOM II, but also, happy birthday to the Super Shotgun, the be-all and end-all of many a monster.

www.twitch.tv/TerminusEst13/ I've done a bunch of tweaks and adjustments to the stream. Lotsa new emotes, rehauled alerts, bits/points actually do stuff now, and etc. Time for more speedmapping. Please feel free to come along. Let's work together for a brighter future. #vtuber #envtuber #streami5

Managed to get 1964GE set up and I've been using it to replay #Goldeneye. What a truly phenomenal game. God, I'm rusty at it, though. Maybe I'll give that a run for game night this week. It's getting close to the 30th anniversary, after all.

Reference sheet for my avatar is done. This is Jay I-5, a combat-deployed field-repair unit. He's a synthetic humanoid used by the Galactic Earth Authority for planetary defense and extraterrestrial excursions. In layman's terms, he shoots things with bullets from a gun. #art #oc #ocsky #jayi5

Folks who've followed my work for a while know that, generally, art/mapping are consistently my two big weaknesses. I've had many hiccups because of troubles with those two. I don't like having weaknesses. So for the past decade, I've been trying to learn how to draw. I think I've made progress.

Truth being told, it feels weird calling myself an artist. I like to think of myself more as a pixel hacker. But that's unnecessarily euphemistic, yeah? Art is art, in the end. I can make art, now. It's an old truism, but it's amazing what you can do as long as you keep at it and don't give up.

Sorry I haven't posted my latest two weekly speedmaps on here. First time it was because I wasn't happy with how it turned out, second time it was because I was doing other art in the background and that was taking most of my attention. Speaking of which.

www.twitch.tv/TerminusEst13/ Another week, another map. I don't know what about this train is the one that's encouraging me to make maps, but I'm riding it until it crashes. Please feel free to come along. Let's work together for a brighter future. #vtuber #envtuber #streami5

www.twitch.tv/TerminusEst13/ #Doom64 was good! Really good, actually. Like, really, really good. I liked it quite a lot. So now I wanna go about it from the other angle. Gonna try out Doom 64 for Doom II! Wow! Exclamation marks! #vtuber #envtuber #streami5

I hear this is the new meme floating around. I've been known to engage with a meme or two, in my time. #Doom #GotchaForce #Unreal #Metroid #HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi #MegaManX #FZero #YumeNikki #SilentHill #my9games

www.twitch.tv/TerminusEst13/ #Doom64 is a game that I've always liked -- at least, the bits and pieces I've played of it. However, I've never seen it through to the end. I'm a fake Doom fan. Well, time to fix that. I wanna give it a go and dive in! #vtuber #envtuber #streami5

6th UZDoom speedmap, made in 6h. The map name is "60 Revenants". Guess how many Revenants are in it. I've never made a slaughtermap before, but I wanted to try something different. drive.google.com/file/d/10uk0... As before, no difficulty/multiplayer spawns, etc. #doom #doommapping #crafti5

www.twitch.tv/TerminusEst13/ 6/9ths of the way to a full episode of speedmaps! Nice! I don't know if I'm going to compile them together at the end or just let them exist. But I'm still goin' on. Please feel free to come along. Let's work together for a brighter future. #vtuber #envtuber #streami5

I do not do market research. I do not find a niche. I do not bother with SEO, or AEO, or viral marketing, or audience aggregation, or trend chasing. I work on what INTERESTS ME, and if I LOSE INTEREST then I STOP WORKING ON IT.

5th UZDoom speedmap. Made in 6h, w/ a bit more for polish. Ran out of streamtime, doing the center room took longer than thought. So combat's a bit rough -- but I'm still happy with it. drive.google.com/file/d/18Xzf... As before, no difficulty/multiplayer spawns, etc. #doom #doommapping #crafti5

On one hand I appreciate the "make bad art" calls to action, because they are invested in encouraging people to do art things (which they should!) even if they don't think of themselves as "artists" or whatever but most of the time the bad art... isn't bad? why are you calling this art bad its good

www.twitch.tv/TerminusEst13/ Five weeks so far of speedmapping! If I keep this up, soon I'll have a full episode of speedmaps. Which in and of itself is motivation enough to keep going. Please feel free to come along. Let's work together for a brighter future. #vtuber #envtuber #streami5

www.twitch.tv/TerminusEst13/ I overslept and haven't had time to fire the engine up! So, Dev House mapping will resume tomorrow. In the interim, tonight I'll be playing through a Nightdive remaster that I never finished -- #Heretic. I heard they made a lot of changes! #vtuber #envtuber #streami5

So unless someone releases a game that sends me actual real money directly to me every time I kill an enemy, Agent 64: Spies Never Die is pretty much my game of the year.
