Life is Strange - Render Tests by FGRaptor
First time rendering in Blender. I want to make some compositions for
wallpapers, so I have been playing around a bit. Not as difficult as I
thought it would be, but since I have never posed / rendered before it
took some getting used to, and I can’t say I am really there yet. Tried
some normal renders first, then with background, and finally using the
Cycles render, but the lighting is weird there, somehow too weak.
Posed in XNALara/XPS, rendered in Blender.

Life is Strange - Together Forever - Wallpaper by FGRaptor
I am still collecting my thoughts and feelings after finishing Life is Strange… so I had to do something to help with that. I saw these amazing renders by Bertzs (www.reddit.com/user/Bertsz)(imgur.com/user/Bertzs) and made them into a wallpaper (dual 1080p).
Though I have to admit, after looking at it for a day, I am not sure I still want it as a wallpaper… it makes me too sad.

After a week of hard work we finished our game entry for the Candy Jam. Check it out by clicking right here and play it and maybe rate it or comment on it!
The game is a combined effort of Johann “Carbonated_Soda” Ackerman, David “Skyhark” Svensson, and me. We are all part of Wedge Labs and also still working on Project Harmony!
After a lot of debugging I have added Newgrounds medals and leaderboard support to You Will Hate This Game on Newgrounds.com – with the new version 1.2 update. There are 15 medals for a total of 500 Newgrounds medal points. All have their own unique icons, plus new unlock graphics and sounds in-game.
If you have played the game before, please consider giving it another go. The difficulty, which used to be a big problem, has been adjusted according to the feedback I received.
Since the new features are exclusive to Newgrounds, I doubt they will be making their way to the Kongregate.com version. It was also a test for me to try out how to implement these functions. I will try and add leaderboards and possibly medals to level.break as well and my upcoming flash game: Lucky Dragon.

I have nothing special prepared, so I just wish you a happy new year! Germany is now in 2014, so I will wait for you in the future if you are in a timezone that’s behind.
Do you play The Secret World and look for something to do on Saturday the 7th December? You like to win prizes and you like investigation missions? Then I got just the right thing for you!
On the 7th December at 7PM sharp Beyond the Veil will do a repeat of their original investigation mission Stir of Echoes. I have already played this the first time they did it and it was awesome. I actually won the grand prize, although it was a close call.
This time around the prizes are a little different, but they’re still prizes. The first person to complete it will win 1200 Funcom points and a Beyond the Veil in-game T-shirt. Everyone who participates and finishes within 2 hours gets the T-shirt as well. We all win!
You have to sign up on the forum here to be eligible to win.
Good luck and have fun! See you on Saturday.

I have updated some more links, typos, and descriptions across the site. If you don’t yet know I have expanded my section for The Secret World with useful links. I am also in the process of adding a section for some of my short stories. I haven’t fully figured out how I will do it yet exactly. There are of course copyright concerns, but the formatting for stories is also not the best here on tumblr. I may look into some fiction-sites that let you publish work.
I have also added a “Support Me” link. Please have a look at it and see if you would consider supporting me. I will spare you the details, but things don’t look so good and I may be in serious trouble next year. That’s why I’m currently doing anything for money looking for ways to improve my situation.
Oh, and here is what you might have been waiting for when you saw the title.
As you may already know I’m part of the cabal Fenrir’s Legacy in The Secret World. As you may or may not know Fenrir’s Legacy is celebrating its 1st Year Anniversary on this coming Saturday the 23rd November 2013. There will be a Hide & Seek event for cabal members only (Yeah, sorry, them is the rules!), but also events open to all players of The Secret World: A Fashion Contest in the Albion Theatre, a Dance Party in the same place, Flash Mob events throughout the day, and the awesome DJ Cherri from Gridstream Productions will be playing music for the event.
You can check all the event details here and here is the post on the official forums concerning the Fashion Contest in particular. It says the events start at 12PM EST / 5 PM GMT, but that’s the time for every single event, so I’m not quite sure how that is going to work. I’ll ask around what’s up with that.
If you are playing The Secret World then come join us for the celebration on November 23rd and if you’re not playing yet, then get the game already – it’s great! I might also still be able to hook you up with a 3 day trial if you contact me with your email address via “Ask Me Anything.”
Hello again! I decided to follow in the footsteps of a fellow cabal member in The Secret World (check his Extra Life page here) and also signed up for Extra Life. What is Extra Life, you ask? Basically it’s an event to play games for 25 hours on November 2nd 2013 and raise money children’s hospitals. Check my extra life page here!
I joined the Funcom team for the chance at some prizes, but don’t think I only do it for that. I’ll be donating myself (even though I’m actually broke or rather already in debt), but you only live once, so why not give something, right? Funcom starts their own stream around 16:00 GMT, I’ll probably start around the same time, maybe earlier.
Feel free to donate to me or anyone else for this charity event and maybe have a look at me playing The Secret World on my twitch channel on November 2nd. I may also play something else, depending on how it goes. I received a Rift starter pack and got a free copy of Defiance, so I may play those for the first time!

Wow, another post so soon? What is going on? Anyway, Samhain 2013 is in full swing. I have completed all the new content yesterday and have thus updated the TSW Event Wiki with the current information. If you are still wondering about which new missions to do or what loot you can get, all the info is there.
The missions from Samhain 2012 are also available for everyone, I have done them too and can confirm they are the same as last year, so you can use last year’s guides if you haven’t done them yet or want to do them again. The mission chain will award you with the Nermegal pet and Baron or Baroness Samedi outfit at the end.
There is also a Nightmare difficulty version of the Cat God dungeon which can drop the Amethyst Mouser pet, a unique pet only given to the winner faction of last year’s Halloween contest. There is only one pet so you will have to roll for it. I was lucky and won the pet yesterday when I ran the dungeon.
You can see both pets in the screenshot above: The pink one is the Amethyst Mouser and the black one is Nermegal.
If you are interested in the new clothing, check out Sephora’s Closet which lists all the clothing in The Secret World with screenshots.
Lastly if you don’t want to send your email for a buddy key using the Ask Me function on this blog, you can send me a message on reddit as well, where I have also offered people keys in the TSW Buddy Key thread.
