This Is My New Favorite MGS Fanart. Also, Quiet On A Tardigrade!

This isn’t related to progress on the game, but I made this a while back because Pacifica ruins EVERYTHING! (Now I crawl back into my hole to work on gun sprites and enemy animation so I can make a proper game update)

Not a screenshot, but an arrangement of some of the backgrounds and sprites for an 8-bittish Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker fan fiction game Glowdust and I are working on.  Yerba mate is a wonderful thing!

Hey, I just saw your post about PeaceDay and I'm really sorry to see that the game isn't going to get made. If you don't mind me asking, were you actually approached with a C&D or are you just trying to avoid that situation? I'm in the middle of a lot of fanworks myself and I just want to know how cautious I should be.

I wasn’t approached, but a bunch of friends sent me messages informing me that these types of things have happened.  There was an AMA with some copyright lawyer on Reddit that specifically said that people who get sued over fangames often get an NDA and can’t talk about it after the settlement.  Then there were the 500 or so fangames taken down by Nintendo from GameBolt (I think that’s the name of the site).  Then there was the one piece of fan art that Kojima tweeted about and immediately got DMCA’ed by Konami.  Putting together the pieces I just feel like that’s enough of a warning for me to stay away.  According to the copyright lawyer on Reddit, “You cannot afford fair use.”Personally I don’t think you have to worry about fan art or video or fanfiction.  It’s games specifically - possibly because they’re a medium in direct competition that seem to be the trouble.  I don’t know a whole lot about it beyond that.  I’m just playing it somewhat safer than I normally would with stuff like this because Konami has a reputation for being pretty awful.I appreciate the message.

hope is a skill

Self-reblog from my other game project, Unstable Scientific. I'm really proud of the way this pixel art came out!

RATE MY SETUP! It’s Chandra Cassini’s lab for the home base area in Unstable Scientific.  She studies the cosmic microwave background radiation, searching for signs of early collisions with another universe!

Oh my god. Fern Gully BBKaz, something I definitely needed in my life.

Paz laughing at him and Nuke being affectionate are the greatest things in this picture!
