I beat The End and now I'm in the mountains - holy shit, The Fear and The End were such an amazing boss fights. It's as if the authors took respective scenes from some of the greatest movies, and let you be the main character. I swear, during the fight with The End, my wife and I, all tense from trying to spot the old bastard, were whispering to each other whenever we thought we've seen something suspicious... I can't remember that a game brought such an atmosphere in a gameplay sessiong since, well, Ico. Just pure unfiltered awesomeness. I'm seriously splooging over this game, and can't even imagine what the last few hours everyone is talking about will be like.
This would be a good time to post all the camoflage patterns that I submitted to Konami back then when they were running the competition. None of them were chosen to be in the game (there was a total of four patterns from four guys chosen), but here's hoping some of them will be available for download one day
This one is supposed to look like some digitized autumn leaves or something:
Two Russian Kilim patterns:
Stylized Night Sky - the idea was to have blue dots glowing in the dark.
Stylized tangled Snakes:
Snake Skin:
Russian Communist Star with some funky flowery patterns.
Good ole hippie trippy 60s
Stylized grass (this one's not really a pattern, as it does not repeat, but they said it was OK to send non-repeating stuff like this)
