REDMASK'S PROFILE

Before making my game public I listened to so many online who made fun of hand holding in games like Navi in Zelda Ocarina of Time.

But after putting out my game I understand now that hand holding is very much needed for many players. So, yes put in a lot of hand holding but I guess try not to make it feel annoying.

Do phone games count because I got a smart phone for the first time recently and a good number of them are the worst games I've ever played.
Well instead I'll try to pick a console game.

Dark Cloud 2

Sometimes randomly generated dungeons are alright ... sometimes.

I got 10/30 I should have been able to do better but oh well.
The only RPG on the list that I've never heard of is Metal Max 2.
I'll have to look that one up some time.

So when I answer ethnological questions outside the confines of my videos keep in mind I will often choose to speak from memory like I would in a normal conversation just because it can be time consuming to find the academic reference. But anyway from what I recall for the uninitiated, like children of the Dogon, they will see the crocodile and bird but once they are older and get initiated they will be taught the symbols deeper meanings.

Next I'll show some Central African stuff.
Here's a mask that represents the Kuba King. Sometimes the king himself wears it. Other times someone else will dance it in his place.

Here's a divination object in the shape of a dog :3

And here is a figure sculpture and bowl from another Central African people, the similarly named Luba culture.

I noticed a few people in this discussion bad mouthed tracing. You guys don't know art very well. I happen to have a bachelors degree in art illustration. For one assignment our teacher had us replicate a master illustrator's painting as perfectly as possible and although you can't trace a painting, we were encouraged by our professor to trace the masterpiece art and then paint on top of it. I remember my professor clearly saying, "How you make art doesn't matter, the end result is what matters." This statement was from a highly respected art teacher. Having said all that, I don't know how he or my other teachers would react to AI art. I haven't fully formed my opinion on the AI subject yet.
