I always ride for Team Reptile because they are tapped into the culture in a way other things that do "street culture pastiche" aren't. I grew up with street dance so the authenticity gets bonus points from me. The director Dion Koster does some of the dance mocap himself

I thought about how Mecha Vallak from EDF 2017 has one of my favorite boss intros. Only the walk-on is cinematic. Then they spawn you like a mile away and you get to see it do an atomic breath style laser sweep across the skyline. EDF excels at scale, which is naturally cinematic

Sanvein on PS1 has a presentation I can only describe as "peak cyber bullshit". So much stuff on the screen but it's all coordinated really nicely.

Been thinking about mecha strategy games a lot, so I decided to code A* pathfinding but working directly off a Godot tilemap, in case I wanna make one some day. Nothing particularly interesting or impressive, it's just really fun to watch the lil box snake around the map.

Anyway, go find an obscure mech game with spinning 3D robots and show everyone how they spin

Dope character select screen. Got everything I like. Spinning mech renders, holographic projection style diagrams, cyber UI with all kinds of tiny text labels, hexagons

I like that classic horror filmmaking tricks of getting a contortionist or someone with unusual proportions as practical effects has translated to other media. The Exorcist spider walk clearly inspired this awesome scene in Koudelka, but can be taken to an extreme in video games

some trivia: this guy is a international level bboy named Atsuki from Naruto Japan and Real Akiba Boyz. He hosts Akibaccano--underground dance battles where they dance to anime songs. If you're a Miku fan, you will recognize him as breakdancing Miku from that old viral video

Unironically, I think ASCII has tons of potential as a graphic style, especially given how much the core techniques have evolved beyond just "one character, one tile". I've actually made a number of small game prototypes that use purely text graphics (not textmode, tho)

One of the great pleasures of exploring 6/10 and lower games is discovering games that are bad in almost every regard except one person (usually the composer or artist) putting both feet in it like they need the job

re: music. Some people don't like "Precious Thing" but it's important. As dance evolved, underground producers started making music specifically for dance. PT is in a style of G Funk specifically made for popping. Once again, Team Reptile showing they are dialed in on the culture

I fuck w/ it. I know what this is. It's giving French house, disco house. It's giving Cassius. Martin Solveig. Spiller. I hate how kneejerk "le video game music" fans are when it comes to genre experimentation as if 2000's jazz fusion and hip hop OSTs weren't also experiments

Reminder: there is a Winamp Skin Museum where you can see 80,000 archived Winamp skins (and use them). There was an era of Y2k hyper-maximalist design, before Apple mandated minimalism in everything. UI design had a lot more room for self-expression. It's art.

One of the topics I definitely want to cover are Mech Programming games since I'm p. sure very few non-Japanese people have actually played many of these due to steep learning curve and language barrier

One year of drawing mechs, 2025 A lot of stuff in here I never posted. Also a lot of stuff I did do not included (pixel art, animations, many style studies, etc.) What will 2026 look like, I wonder

Ancient free indie games: Gigantic Gear by G-cube It's really short. Only 3 levels and the dash literally lets you run past everyone in the first level. But for something free made in 2000, it's pretty awesome. As close to a full 3D Valken as you could get at that time, probably

Listening to the Alph-Lyla Mega Man X arranged album and drawing robots. It is a simple life. It is a good life.

A user named BabaJeanmel has begun translating the obscure PC-98 action platformer adaptation of Dante's Inferno made by Koei. First of all, look at that gorgeous UI border. But more importantly, listen to the music lmao. Not what I expected Dante's Inferno to sound like.

I think my favorite Y2k era UI design is from Marionette Handler 2, a game I will simply never shut up about. It and the entire mech programming game genre is ripe for "obscure thing" content but nobody talks about it. Amazing "fake Operating System" style presentation.

Here's a compilation of the finished ones so far. Of course, nobody is obligated to commit. The goal was just to encourage drawing and spotlight some obscure designs. They appear in the order of the thread. Good job everyone. If I missed you feel free to reply with your art.
