I've been doing all kinds of stuff lately.

Mostly nothing.

I have also been working on my new game project. Working title is Credence Filter, and it's about a dude who's the chosen one. I like this concept because it brings to light the idea that most games ignore, that your character is the most important character in the game.

The scripts are getting a bit convoluted. The player can pick up different items, and I wanted each of the items to have their own set of player animations associated with them. For instance, when you're holding a weapon, all the protagonist's displayed sprites are of your character holding that weapon. The way I set this up to actually work is needlessly convoluted.

Anyways, one of my favorite things to do is use the S tag design aliens. Also, I just like aliens. Here's a concept I made for the friendly aliens in Credence Filter.

The design is admittedly inspired by Half-Life (particularly the Nihilanth). I wanted them to look strange and otherworldly, but not frightening. I'm a bit iffy on the color scheme, but I like the logo I designed even though it doesn't really represent anything.

Also, I made a shitty song. It seems as though the more I attempt to make music the worse my ability to make music gets. I'll probably end up bothering someone else to make music for this game.

Yeah that's all I got.

I wonder what the effects would be if I were to operate a microwave next to one.
fried calamari?

EDIT: it would kinda depend on how much water makes up their bodies though

also they would have to be inside the microwave…

No, no, I refer to the effects of microwaves upon other transmissions surrounding it. I happen to know that the microwave in my kitchen on the opposite end of my house has enough willpower and spite in it to block my laptop's signal from the router that's in the room next to mine.

Like most aliens in fiction, this alien happens to be based off of human biology. It's a way to retain recognizability as an intelligent communicative being. As such, it probably has a similar water content to humans.

I guess we should probably not let those aliens near running microwaves then. Seeing as they might suffer anything from a light headache to full-on seizure as a result.

I admit I've never met a microwave that can cancel out wireless signals…

presumably whatever waves are coming out of the microwave aren't the ones being used to heat up water molecules though, because then humans in close proximity to the microwave would be boiled alive

lol nvm apparently microwave ovens can block signals if they're placed in between sender/receiver because the box meant to keep microwaves from escaping can also absorb waves of similar frequencies
