A Few Movies

1. The Phantom Edit

To those who don't know The Phantom Edit is a fan edit of The Phantom Menace, and while it doesn't completely fix the movie it does alleviate a lot of problems the original had. It mostly just cuts out a bunch of Jar-Jar's silly scenes and ​other unneeded stuff. The download I got also came with an editor's commentary track, in it the dude goes over the reasons he cut out certain parts and the different editing tricks he used. I'd say it's worth looking into for that alone.

2. ​Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms

I seriously challenge anyone to watch this movie and to not cry during it. ​The general gist is that this kinda elf girl, who's life spans hundreds of years, adopts a regular human baby, who's life spans regular years. Theres also a bunch of other things that happen: wars, espionage, genocide, ect. But going too much into any of that would be spoilery. I wholeheartedly anyone watch this movie, it's really good.

3. Soldier

I found this movie while binging movies from the Alien cinematic universe. This movie is a kinda spin-off sequel to Blade Runner, taking place 17 years later; so yes, technically it takes place in the Alien cannon. This movie was really dumb, Last Action Hero / Starship Troopers action movie type dumb, so incredibly fun dumb. It's about this soldier who is discarded and comes across dumpster trash people who live on a trash planet. He befriends them and ultimately has to one man army protect them. Really dumb, really fun.

Roblox Pagodas

Roblox is kind of a guilty pleasure of mine, I don't play it as much as I did when I was a kid but I do still enjoy occasionally making levels with its editor. I started working on a CTF game set in feudal Japan. It's been pretty fun working on it so far, though I'm not sure if I'll actually finish it.

Anyway, here are my pagodas so far.

Besides the obvious color differences, these buildings only share the same colored roofs. Every other color is unique to that team, so red team's base features warmer tones while blue's are cooler. Lighting will be done the same way too.

The interiors need some work. I need to reskin these lanterns and do some stuff with the lighting. I'm also not sure yet how I'm going to make the second floor accessible by the player. I'd like to avoid using ladders as they tend to restrict player movement too much. Though I'm probably over thinking it considering it's a roblox game.
