you guys are richards
just because its not BLOCKO doesnt mean its bad. infact i MISS the days when weapons were this quality; those were the loving SIMPLE days.
its not perfect, but its not the best, either.
make instead of smoothing it out however, make the edges more ...edges.
"just because it's blocko doesn't mean it's bad, but make it more blocko anyways"
and beyond that yeah it totally does mean that it's bad
he's explicitly going for a specific artstyle- the unified artstyle that the REST OF THE GAME employs- and you're just like "ehh whatever he tried his best"
forget you
if he tried his best, he can try his best again and again until he gets it right.
then you praise him, and
then he continues to pump out quality and
then we'll have a modding community instead of just people who drop one-shots and disappear into the night
it doesn't look realistic, detailed or remotely blocko
it just looks nasty
see what bugs me is that he's trying to make it proportional to real life but blockland's schtick is that everything is fat and cartoony and safe for little kids to play with and easy to mould and manufacture in, like, a factory. you know, like real legos. but with less curves.
first thing he'd have to do is make it fatter, simplify the geometry a little bit.
... actually include color, maybe.
