  1. Four months after Crafting Com (eeeek only 8 months until next time!), I picked up the wig for Faith Connors again. With help from @brezeldrache to put on the wig and check against artwork multiple times, I now got the sides done and I think they turned out pretty good. I also like the undercut on the back of the head I did at Crafting Com. Looks like I'll finish the wig until Dokomi! That's the first wig I'll have done myself! Yay!

  2. Gamedev funding webinar now (promising), Unity work next (motivated), sewing later. Might be a good day.
    Faith's runner bag is finally coming along! I really want to get it done until Dokomi. Wig work is planned for this week, too. If I manage to finish both, I'll have enough parts to cosplay Faith at Dokomi (wig, top, pants, shoes, tattoo, bag). Swing bag, vest and MagRope will be added later. At least that's the plan.

  6. The gamepad is charging for Lightning Returns later, the 3D printer is printing a part for the portal gun and I am making a paper mock-up for Faith's runner bag because I have exactly the amount of material I need which is nice because no leftovers of weird plastic material but also stressful because all mistakes will be visible.

  7. Mirror's Edge has very unique specific vibe that I think 2 fails to recreate.
    Not only is the city you're running through beautiful and clean, but it's almost completely empty, vast office complexes and infrastructure unused by anyone.

    It's really cool, like the hallways of Portal but it's an entire city.

    I'm pretty sure it's unintentional too, just a limitation of cpu power at the time to populate the world with random NPCs, the only other people you meet are like 4 other runners, and sparse police who are only there to get you specifically.
    There
    are distant NPCs you can see on the street but they're so far away it feels like a different world.

  8. I finished Mirror's Edge today, a game that I really longed to play when I was younger. But I've gotta say, kinda disappointing. The story started out kinda nice, but mid-to-late game both the story and game felt really rushed. Also the guidance system became noticeably worse at "guiding" me during the later half.

    All-in-all I'm glad I got to play it, but I think once was enough 😜

  9. Following on from previous toots, I had a sudden urge to dig out this banger from #Chvrches - Warning Call

    Whilst #MirrorsEdge continues to have a cult following, it's a shame it didn't catch on as well as it should have.

    The soundtrack for both games were bangers though. Mostly from Solar Fields, but with the addition of the vocal talents of Lisa Miskovsky (Still Alive) and Chvrches (Warning Call)

  13. I need to read some detailed text about Marathon game visual style and it's comparison with Mirror's Edge.

    I don't care about game, but that art style is top notch

  14. Wanted to show my 13yo where the parkour in 2 comes from, so I dug out . I passed it by at the time, so it was a joyful, thrilling first playthrough for both of us. I'm lucky that he still engages curiously with his crazy Dad's quirky old . We discovered the game leans into themes of authoritarian overreach, protest, corruption, and illegal over-policing of dissent. As a result, in the game, acab, who you can disarm & disable, but your best defence is to run...

  15. I finished streaming Mirror's Edge and had 12 deaths which isn't that bad given that I hadn't played the game in over a year. Most of them were like in bunches at certain areas, so overall, I did most of the game without dying, including all of the annoying death rooms in The Shard at the end which I'm pretty proud of. In fact, I don't think I died in the Shard?

    Anyway if you want to watch future streams or watch the replay or just follow me on Twitch in the future (I will try to stream every day or at least multiple times a week from now on) it's at twitch.tv/sith_princess

    Also my other videos & replays can be found on YouTube at: youtube.com/@AmisAngelstreams

    including a bunch of onimai edits >_>

  16. Mirro's Edge Catalyst no está mal pero me hizo conocer a CHVRCHES con el tema Warning Call.

  17. <yo>: vaya backlog de juegos más grande que tengo.
    <También yo>: y si me vuelvo a pasar el Mirror's Edge Catalyst?

  18. Continuing work on Faith's shoes. Sometimes adhesive tape does not rip off the acrylic paint I'm replacing with leather paint. (My) acrylic paint does not dissolve in alcohol, but I had mineral spirit (Terpentinersatz) and tried that. It works. That will be a messy and slow process though... glad most of the paint comes off easily. And then finally painting the shoes again, this time with paint that stays on :)

  19. This weekend, I'll be attending Crafting Com in Dresden with @brezeldrache! It's said to be very focused on crafting, so instead of a large artist and merchant area, there are areas for the different crafts.
    We'll be there all three days. As always, I enjoy having a chat and meeting new people, so feel free to message me or say hi at the con if you're there! :) You'll recognize me by the Faith Connors arm tattoo.

  20. Disassembled the runner bag and made a paper template / prototype for the outer pockets. Searched my stuff for matching buckles and materials for the pocket lids. Satisfying results! Sewing and photos tomorrow.
    I also analyzed the swing bag, which is Faith's main bag (the runner bag is more like a quest item). I have matching straps, zippers and buckles already and will make a template for the pockets later just like I did for the runner bag. Good progress :)

  21. I've been pretty unfocused for a few weeks, but it's better now and while I wasn't necessarily less productive, I like me some proper To Do lists and priorities.

    I want to take Faith to LBM, which is mid March. I won't get everything done, but want to finish runner bag, wig, MagRope and either vest or sling bag. I hope to get help with the wig at Crafting Com.
    Meanwhile it would make sense to experiment with boot covers. I also still have two bags to finish for Lightning.

  22. Project detail 3495834: For some reason, I have a lot of these padded modular inserts for camera bags. I probably forgot some of them every time I sold a camera bag (which was quite a few times, I'm picky with my bags). I'll use them to create a padded camera pocket in my runner's bag. Carrying the camera around in the bag worked well at Anime Festival, but provided little protection, and a runner must never let damage happen to transported goods.

  23. Looks like my version of Faith Connors is getting a signature trait of wearing two different length socks. I'm always missing one of those that disappear inside the shoe. 😂

  24. I'll be at Anime Festival Kassel on Sunday and as always, I'd love to meet other cosplayers / artsy / friendly people! If you're there, too, and would like to have a chat or meet up, please message me. I'm in Kassel from Saturday evening and will attend the DCM finale on Sunday and then hang out at the con in casual runners' clothing (didn't finish Faith Connors yet).

  25. My skin felt cooperative today, so I experimented a little further with Faith's eye make-up. I quickly got used to the weird smell of the eye-liner and the feeling on the skin. Decided to use tape to make drawing the triangles easier. I used actual painter's tape. It actually worked great but naturally wasn't comfortable. If you know more skin-friendly alternatives, please suggest!
    I'm still struggling with how to hold the eye-liner, but 100% made progress today.

  26. I accumulated a couple note- and sketchbooks over a lot of years, some probably go back to me being a kid. I stopped drawing when I was like 4 and I started using a PC age 7. There was a brief period where I would write fictitious journals but otherwise, those books collected dust.
    When trying shapes for the MagRope, I discovered that I like drawing shapes related to my cosplays, and since that's a useful skill, well, might as well practice a bit. So here's page 1.

  27. I thought it might be funny to put a not-AirTag in Faith's runner bag since these bags are kinda trackable in-game.

    1. Apple's system has cm precision nearby tracking.
    2. Android's system doesn't have that.
    3. There are much less tags for Android and they are more expensive.
    4. I have an Android phone.
    5. Not sure about the "show yourself" sounds. The runner bags have a constantly repated sound in Catalyst.

    Might build something myself instead.

  28. Painting over an unwanted logo and planning pockets for Faith's runner bag. I got lucky and got a used, very robust yellow bicycle / swing bag that I think fits the setting really well. The runner bags in OG Mirror's Edge are more like hardshell briefcases, but I think in Catalyst they've introduced more variability in those bags and there is also an official merchandise bag that looks similar to mine. I hope I have enough of the fabric for the pockets.

  29. Finding the right angle for the elevated part of the MagRope bracer and adjusting the lengths of the three segments. Faith seems to have super long arms in some of the artwork but actually, her proportions are very similar to mine (just that I am taller overall), so the close-up concept drawings of the MagRope where just part of the arm is visible are probably a bit off.

  30. You have Cloudflare problems, I have half-baked salt dough which has the consistency of marzipan, which is super satisfying to cut. So... more experiments! I have settled on a design for Faith's MagRope, mostly a mix of two concept art versions, so I'm now trying to actually create the shape I want.
    #cosplay #propMaking #MirrorsEdge

  31. Diving further into the construction of Faith's MagRope, figuring out joints and comparing artwork to figure out what's complex and what is simply fake. So far, the arm attachment does seem to make sense physically.
    I love this phase of every project, be it coming with an own mechanism or analyzing another one. I'm jumping between projects heavily lately, but who cares, it's my free time and I'm making loads of progress overall.

  32. I played the #Motorslice demo. IT'S GREAT. omg I haven't laughed this much when trying out a game for a long time. Had a bit of performance problems on high graphics on Steam Deck but erm graphics is not what I'm playing this game for and it runs well on Medium. It's indeed very Mirror's Edge-y plus all the 90s platforming stuff, traps remind me of OG Tomb Raider trilogy. Movement feels super snappy and satisfying, definitely less realistic and sometimes more guided than in ME. 1/2 #MirrorsEdge

  33. The new #PerfectDark game can be easily summarized in the following sentence:

    Deus Edge: Crysis

    When a project tries to be multiple things at once, more often than not, it never becomes anything.

    Hopefully #CrystalDynamics and #TheInitiative don't butcher the game, which has been rumored to have a tumultuous development.

  34. Additionally: The most hilarious fourth wall breaking and respawning. Damn this game is FUN. I bet once you really get the hang of all the crazy movement possibilities, it's also satisfying as fuck, like a weird but awesome combination of #DevilMayCry and #MirrorsEdge. #SunsetOverdrive
