GTA4 down 🤓 1) make basemap 2) draw routes 3) make mission flowchart 4) animate flowchart and names 5) add map zooms and pans on blank map 6) replace blank w route maps, copy anims so i can fade while zooming 7) export, narrate, match map timing to narration 8) lose faith in idea throughout 9) viola

i love it because he pronounces it with a nice roll, and poses it as a confused question. "so.... you LIKE azure dreams??"

finally, another soul who can appreciate the numberblocks thing I made with my kid a few years ago to show them how photoshop worked! he's aged out of it now but i'm fond of the little guys.

GTA San Andreas camera programming finally done 😵‍💫 3/5 of the way there, BUT this is the longest one, so I'm trying to power through since i'm over the hump (60/60/100/90/70 missions for GTA3-5). not sure how i'm gonna narrate this mf. roughly 1-2 weeks per game to prep these after drawing the maps

DONKEY KONG 64 - Jungle Japes 🗺️ in which coconut cannons aid ape escapes. this game pushes the absolute limits of partitioned primate trinket collecting, it's a sick scientific experiment in a way.

sprinkled the GTA video edit with some sound effects from ALIEN to give it that extra juice 💻 only because i watched romulus yesterday and i wanted to listen to the noises a million more times

GTA video animation programmming 🎞️ i made a separate .mp4 that is just the flowchart animation, cropped it to the top part of the screen and fade in the routes while following above with a highlight box. splitting these out still makes for a messy vid project but can't manage so many layers at once

yesterday i bought a new computer 😤💸 last one was crashing suddenly, every 15-20 mins. replacing PSU and GPU/CPU/RAM scans didnt fix. after weeks of extreme frustration (+tons of corrupt photoshop files and lost work) i gave in. maps may now resume. (big PDF project is not v serious, but relaxing)

tried to clean up the page template for a future mega-map pdf project, more bright and cheerful.

whomp fortress. taking inspiration from some cross-section books i have, these pages are not meant to be guide-like the way my original maps are.

GTA5 plotting is done finally! total damage is like ~600 route PNGs for all the games mission by mission to animate in a video with the flowcharts. it will either be an interesting little GTA overview or the longest most boring video ever. san andreas for comparison. not touching GTA online

working on some mission infographics for GTA series discussion video. categorized each one by emphasis (big shootouts? lowly thuggery? driving someone around? applying driving skills for other goals?) and overall the games are fairly balanced. kinda falls apart w/ newer ones as missions get complex.

sometimes i make the intro bit of a video really early, to motivate and amuse myself. (they often get copyright struck) in this case I didn't quite get there. but here was my extremely niche LIES OF P x WILD KRATTS remix intro that still makes me smile

LIES OF P - KRAT, as far as I got. abandoning this project for now. I told myself I was gonna focus on youtube this year and I've only managed 3 measly videos in 7 months and nothing meaningful in the works. need to focus somehow. if i post some WIPs where my fire's burned out, i can set them free.
