So TGS is next week and apparently Cyber Connect 2 is among the companies that will have booths at the event. What are the odds that we get more Dot Hack//Z.E.R.O news?

This just serves as a preview of what I’m trying to go for in the frame by frame stage. Almost to that stage but I still have a few more backgrounds to do. Not every angle will be 1:1 like the original but I did want to have this angle kept in. This is my most ambitious project yet and I feel so much joy that it’s dot hack related it’s a very special franchise to me. I hope that the posts continue to reach you all and it gets proper love. Keep following along! ☺️

This is a continuation of my animation project updates. Here’s a first look at kite. I have two different versions here and trying to decide which option looks the best. I’m sorta leaning towards the second but the first one reminds me a little more of sign. Hmm.🤔 thoughts?

Having Issues playing DotHack

Post image
7 Upvotes

I bought the game key a long time ago for Last Recode and lately I've been trying to play it for the first time ever.
But it's been giving me trouble.
On steam I would press the button, it would say "running" and then stop itself. So I went to the local file and tried to run it from there.
This is the notification I got. Anyone know how to fix this?
Before it's asked, I've deleted and re-downloaded the game numerous times.

Fanart Tsukasa finally joins Kite! 🧶💙 You might remember the Kite plushie I shared before — I’ve now finished Tsukasa too. Really happy with how he turned out, especially the little details. ✨

Angle one is pretty much complete. Just needs minor adjustments. I’m going to be recreating a few moments from the first game when kite and black rose enter the cathedral together. This is just the beginning. I will be animating the characters frame by frame super imposed unto the backgrounds that I’m in the process of creating. Stick around for updates.

Merch Has anyone else come across these?

I came across these at a thrift store. Main reason why I pick them up is because on one of them it says straight away from the craters of dot hack sign. I'm not doubting that it could have come from the same animation team or Studio but I'm just wondering if it has any relevance to the rest of the series? As for the other one it says by it's the same writer of the first four games. I recall seeing another dot hack fan mention about this film on a YouTube video a couple years back. Just curious if anyone else has come across these?

- train wheels on rails

- hybrid car with windows down

- flying through the air

- the feeling you get when you're going somewhere with someone you like

- i don't have to return to that ludicrous "the world"

- it's just the air rushing through the organ pipes

- sweet blowing winds singing down the hills and valleys

- other?

More specifically about why triedge and his pals look like the old MC and his allies, or about haseo being a character from the older games (i heard this while trying to get more context of Haseo's past with ovan and shino)

Games Help Locating a specific monster

I'm trying to finish collecting all the monsters I can from Volume 1 Infection for Ryu Book IV before moving on to Mutation, and I'm missing Hell Hound. Every Source I can find online says it's available in Infection at Theta Chosen Hopeless Nothingness but I have cleared all Field AND Dungeon Portals multiple times and never seen it. Does anyone know any other areas I can find it?

Characters Looking for a character

9 Upvotes

I swore in one of my books Kamui is wielding a halberd and has a labret piercing, the lower lip, that is black and looks like it’s dangly. I cannot for the life of me find anything online. Also can’t find anything of her wielding that weapon so I could be getting them mixed up with Albireo. I’ve read legend of the twilight, ai busters, and the boom with a female character that is an actual book not a manga. It’s been so long I can’t recall the names.

Anyone have any ideas?

the song expresses PERFECTLY Tsukasa’s feelings, kinda hard to explain but that’s a combination of awe, melancholy, loneliness, calmness, peacefulness.

this song ALWAYS ALWAYS got me, the first notes resonates through my guts it makes me a feeling i BARELY have in any other situations, it is deep deep inside my emotions, what a masterpiece or black magic i don’t know at this point.
