S3: "quickdraw"

Video link



When I first started recording these demos, it reminded me of the quickdraw minigame from Kirby. It reminded me of that since these frags were like duels with quick thinking involved. There was a possibility to draw in that Kirby minigame, but in this case with the frags, both people died which is like a "tie" anyway.



Since I had more creative control by confronting the truth, I had a more stylistic approach to the video, directly inspired by the Kirby minigame. I know game audio is important, but the stylistic vision overrode that and I muted the game audio before the "duels" began. First time using some basic color grading and even black bars on this channel.



I think in the third clip, my iron bomber didn't have any bombs loaded, explaining the crazy wiggling I was doing near the point of firing.



The "outro" was again inspired by the minigame. Since both people died in the "duel" no one really won, so I made a failure screen. There are some easter eggs here but they are extremely hard to get.
