Update #76 - Druid Assets
🕑 Added 2020-10-31 14:27:52 +0000 UTC
Happy Halloween!
The Mystery of the Druids video was a long while coming. It took a few playthroughs, along with endless outline and organizing to figure out what should fit in for pacing's sake rather than desperately try to point out everything weird about every frame which could've balloon it into Lord of the Rings length. In any case, I'm hoping it was enjoyable and I have some of high-res stuff! A lot of these had to be knocked down in post to try and make them look like game assets.
As for the Extellus intro posted above, that's (un)fortunately it as far as production stuff goes since it was such a simple idea. There'll likely be something a lot more in-depth in the near future though.
For the original "ending scene" the animator Xilefenko has put it up on his own channel in 1080p, so you can see full detailed, low detail, Halligan.
As for the song itself, I wrote it up a few months ago and it was an ongoing process to get it made in time to be synced up with the animation. Some people in the comments still thought it was real to leave baffled messages, though most realized it wasn't at least halfway through. It was finally composed and performed by Ben Levin with the backup vocals being done by Justice Cow. There was some back and forthing on how to proceed and some minor tweaks, but Ben is another one of those insane geniuses who just "gets it" immediately. To those who thought it sounded familiar, that was very intentional. The primary inspiration for it was a combination of the opening for both Little Shop of Horrors but particularly a Pup Named Scooby Doo. The game gave me weird Scooby Doo knock-off vibes a lot, so having a song to complete that would help solidify that idea in the brains of others.
With that, I'm attaching the very first mix of the song before the backup vocals were made and the lyrics were finalized for people who like that (it's a little bigger) along with the completed song! I'll have to release the mp3 soon publicly so people stop barraging me for it, but at least you'll get the production stuff and have it first!
Also, the art without the video overlays for the names. There are actual thousands of images, so narrowing them down was a difficult process since I didn't want to go through an entire gallery. Also ones relating to the streams and those kinds of jokes too much had to be omitted for a general audience, though many of those were also excellent.
As for the next project I'll be taking the Halloween weekend easy for now, but I'll have more to show soon.
Thanks as always for your support!
