Takato14

[Night Fox]

his entire style- art, conversation, design- revolves around this ridiculous special snowflake syndrome sort of thing and seems to appeal specifically to the type of people who are like 'oh man that's so different from what currently exists!' instead of simply working his own style into the bounds that everyone else has agreed to work within. it's like showing up to a forgetin drag race with a sailboat and i can't stand the fact that he gets such a big head over such a half-assed curio-style appeal. it'd be different if the situation was like, the drawing megathread, where everyone's styles are all getting all over the place and i would be wrong to say 'no, takato, you can't continue to draw dragons in a context where you can draw whatever the forget you want' but in the case of blockland's modding community he's in the exact same crowd as the jackass who made that 'vulpine vitality' thing

um, excuse you
by "what currently exists" I assume you mean your add-ons?

Maybe you grab hold of the round part by the knives and seductively squeeze it

I mean the fact that there's no handles or grips of any kind leads me to believe that it's a vehicle-mounted weapon, but then why does it have knives all over it? I suppose you could argue that it's for ramming or something, but then what's with the two blades mounted at the very rear? You can't do anything useful with those if it's bolted to a tank. You probably can't do anything useful with those even if it was a man-portable weapon. Do you grab it by the barrel and swing it like a scythe? You'll eviscerate yourself on those dumbass front-points.

And Frogfreak's. And Tingalz's. Basically like most people that don't faithfully recreate guns down to every last bell and whistle and then throw custom reload animations on it, ignoring how terrible it looks when held by a simplistic playermodel with like 15 faces on it.

i'm not saying 'conform to me', i'm talking about the entire default blockland aesthetic as a whole

as in, the aesthetic that most modders follow, considering the population of the add-ons section

the rules that everyone follows to keep the art style at least sort of unified, that has enough give and wiggle room that everyone can have their own personal artstyles and signature habits and still simultaneously have no glaring tears or seams in the art style

even outside of frog and tingalz i'm talking like, khain, filipe, yndaaa, rusty, zloff, a lot of people in the 3d megathread going older we've got kaje, thegeek, ephi, the list goes on

takato, you've been acting pretty highly and you really ought to get down from there. Humility is the best way to get yourself over- there was this guy named woolys, who was legitimately good at art, but  since he was so condescensing everyone attacked his art and he got perma'd. Just a warning, don't be a prick, bht you didn't do anything unforgiveable so w/e

However, I might get some flack for this, but i'm very dissapointed in Bushido. By chastising him for not conforming and not improving to a standard you set, you have become the aggrevator. You are not helping, you're only adding to the problem.

oh no i'm not denying i'm the aggravator

the issue isn't 'takato is being a stuff'- which seems to have been resolved?- it's that someone asked why people hate takato and i just so happen to have several pages worth of reasoning as to why i hate takato

like, it's his drama topic, we're all talking stuff about takato. might as well dump what i have

[Planr]

Takato is fairly nice from the times I talked with him; He created some pretty cool weapons too. Love the RYNO V and his UBER guns. I was the one who originally requested a gun design that eventually turned into the Uber-Shotgun. Its supposed to look like the Nerf Longshot :)

Espio is a richard to people anyway

Lolno?

everyone?? I wouldn't even say most. a few popular mods may be in that style you use, but plenty of mods aren't. even something popular like gravity cat's weapons. and we're only talking about weapons. filipe's vehicles, or barnabas's, or phy's (I can't remember how to spell the whole thing), or night_hawk's, there are big differences between all of them
everything doesn't have to look the same. add-ons for garry's mod aren't all the same
if you don't like a mod, don't download it. the fact that it doesn't fit in with your idea of what should be in the game isn't a valid criticism

Bushido isn't talking about making it look the same, he's talking about making it fit a certain art style.

One of the reasons I don't like using Takato14's add-ons is because they're so out of place, and they look really bad contrasted against everything else. The model of the super laser gun thingy is really detailed and whatnot, but because it's radically different from the art style, it's just an eyesore.

I don't get what is wrong with making things look good.

Sure, not everyone likes that they don't fit with the default content, but is it really such a big problem? Blockland's newer graphics actually makes it feasible to have those high-quality models in the game without looking completely out of place. If anything, the issue is that the old default content looks out of place among the new rendering features.

[Bushido]

garry's mod is the absolute epitomy of a disjointed 'art style'

i was going to straight mention garry's mod because blockland's art style is nothing like that and it's more appealing as a result

the entire point of blockland having an aesthetic is specifically to make sure that it doesnt become a ridiculous garry's mod clusterforget

no it doesn't what the forget

graphics aren't an art fixer, they're an art facilitator

with that sort of logic i could go forgetin steal something from crysis and staple it to a blockhead's hand with no issue whatsoever, you can't just tape 'graphics' onto something and have it instantly improve the actual art underneath

how about responding to the important parts of my post

this is what some people said about the weapons that you specifically said were a problem

Wow, these are pretty cool! What about your Halo weaponry?

looks cool

Weelp, time for constructive critism
The fingerles gloves are just ugly. Please get over them, and use plain hands with grey color :S
The Taurus Bull is way up in my face in 1st person, it looks like it's sticking out of my mouth
What is with the flying shurikens when I fire the Taurus or the Spas?
The SPAS damage should be adjusted, I think a shotgun should easily kill a blockhead in a point blank shot just noticed it does that lol
The texture you used on the scopes of the G36K and the Vigilante look really bad, you might want to change that
The sounds seem a bit off sometimes, but overall they are okay
other than these they seem pretty cool
I would like to see your go at more Half Life styled weapons, the spas is super satisfying and fun

(nothing about the style)

Great middle-ground style between blocky and realistic, although they do seem to be leaning more towards realism

These weapons look very amazing :D

and I'd like to point out this specific thing sgtdaemon said

idk guys, it's good to see these once in a while next to all the guns that claim to have reloading when it's just the blockhead swinging them around like a brick tool

[Pecon]

Why is it a issue.

You don't have to download his weapons.

You don't have to look at them.

You don't even need to acknowledge their existence.

The real question is, why are you so hostile towards everything that doesn't conform to your exact opinion of how it should work? Sounds to me like you have some kind of ego issue where you're always right.

Oh hold on a second, that reminds me of something you were just complaining about...

[Night Fox]

while we're on the subject of bushido I wanna mention that he thought typing without capital letters was his thing or something

also they don't use caps. i think the only reason i find it obnoxious is because ive been talking like this for years and now people are moving in on my turf

isn't drama supposed to be that board where you are hostile towards things
