Yeah, this instantly reminded me of the children's books which are apparently called "Wimmelbuch" in English as well (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wimmelbilderbuch) - this is a Wimmelanimation so to say...
I love the ones that are foreign to me because I don't understand any of the idioms. At all. Are those pies on the roof? Stabbing a brick wall with a knife?
This is basically animated version of this subreddit. It has an astounding collection of images like this. There are so many stories in every single one (most) of them.
Well, for these particular challenges, we're all on a Discord server (https://discord.gg/createwithclint), and these are semi-regular community challenges. There are also smaller weekly competitions, but these are the big community collabs:
The author has a blog post in Russian explaining how this works (they implemented a custom video format and render it to canvases) [1]. The author's flow chart is slightly reminiscent of Drakon [2] ... I wonder if that's still a thing over there :-)
It seems like the implementation is compiled from another language, but I'm not sure which one (I'm just curious about this).
I really do enjoy Bosch's work. It gives you a sense of what monsters looked like to people of the middle ages, many of which are animal and fish like.
That was really awesome, I've been a Buckethead fan since I discovered his music through Guitar Hero way back in the day.
Enter The Chicken has to be one of the most underrated metal albums of the 2000s, the collaborations with Serj Tankian stand out but there's a lot of great tracks on there.
I'm a guitarist so I enjoy shred wankery more than the average joe, but the actual songs with lyrics on Enter the Chicken stand up to repeat listening much better than most of his work imo. (ymmv)
Thanks for sharing that, I enjoyed it a lot. I had no idea Praxis existed, putting Bootsy and Buckethead in the same studio was bound to result in something good!
Amazing! The only way I can imagine to improve this would be to add music/sound effects that become louder or fainter depending on your location: Boney M, Pink Floyd, the Muppets "Mahna Mahna" song etc. etc.
It has a changelog in the top menu under "Changes" which lists all the additions by date. You can even get notified on updates (although only via Telegram, an RSS feed would be nicer).
It "performs well" in the sense that I as a human enjoy it smoothly, but it does make my modern laptop's fan spin up quite loudly; and I don't know (I could be wrong!) that it renders graphics that is effectively fundamentally more complex than the ones I enjoyed on Amiga 500 and x286?
This is not in any way to reduce its awesomeness; I just lost 15 minutes I don't have scrolling around and will return to it this weekend! But I wouldn't say it had great performance.
edit: Unless you meant "Stellar Performance" in the artistic sense, i.e. "The figure skater put up a great performance today", in which case wholeheartedly agree :-)
Funny, while listening to my laptop's fan going crazy I was thinking that any computer from 2000 would have enough power to render this if it was native :P
Sure - also on your computer from 2000 the fans would be on all the time time, one fan would have a bad bearing, and the HD would literally be making a crunching sound, and you would constantly be cleaning gunk off the mouse ball.
Funny enough, i can't seem to find a single studio ghibli reference.
I thought this style of art would lend itself well to alot of characters from that studio, but after clicking around for an hour I can't find a single one.
If you're a fan of this type of art, https://www.reddit.com/r/wimmelbilder/ is full of good stuff.
