After Dark Souls 1, I finished Metroid Zero Mission, and right now, I'm playing Zelda 1 (NES). Next could be BOTW, which I found too hard when I played it back then.

The link between all these games is... level design. I'm looking for world design inspiration 🗺️

I'm currently enjoying the challenge in Baby Steps 👣 Recommended!

When I beat Dark Souls 1 a few months back, it changed my relation to games. Until now I was easily frustrated from the friction a game would opposed me, so I didn't enjoy lots of titles, or never pushed to the ending

first time using this tool^^ I struggle to do magic on greyscale pictures

either lines I want removed are still present, or I can strengthen the range but the result is aliased. cause lines to keep and lines to erase can be the same value

did i miss something?

good call!
Question, as i don't understand select-by-range well, how can it replace the lasso step?

Painstakingly trying to clean and reframe drawings from photos, on my phone

Scanning method - 2nd part

I didn’t find a good app on iOS to clean and reframe a drawing, so I still need a pc + photoshop
1 - send photo to pc (with phone link)
2 - lasso select the drawing, create a
new layer
3 - delete previous layer, replace by white fill
4 - reframe to center+ add margins

Scanning method - 1st part

Phone - default ios app
1. Take photo - flat & evenly lit paper
2. Crop it to hide the other stuff
3. Adjust expo/brightness/contrast/black point -> +30 each
4. Set saturation to -100 (=B&W)

This takes 30s max. You can save adjustment preset for batches.

Vistas along the road are gorgeous, look at them!
Fake perspective is fascinating, how was it made?

I don’t understand how much it plays a part in the final result though, bc there’s a palette reduction post process at the end. I guess it enhances the effect!

The checker pattern is blended as « overlay ». It works so well
