Anyways I now gift/curse you all with this:

Are there any official field guides for the planet, sort of like an art book that talks about the specbio of the creatures and what they were used for in the series? I would love something like that.

We do indeed have much to expand upon! Season 1 kinda wraps up in a nice way, but they all just went through something tough, and that can take time to process. That's what I was most excited to explore.

As Demily stated, both games are arcsys games, but Dragon Ball Fighter Z was their first game in that particular engine. The movement system was set up such that only one character (our titular Goku) actually had the code for movement, and every other character essentially had a line of code that said "see how Goku does it, and do that."

This has a few benefits. It decreased the amount of code needed per character, made it easier to tweak the movement across the board, and was really funny.

This same movement and mechanical system and engine would follow into the next Guilty Gear game. But why change the reference point if it still works just fine? So all the characters in that new engine ALSO had the code that said "go see how Goku does it, and do that."

So in the depths of Guilty Gear Strive's files, there is a lone Goku. In the wrong place, in the wrong timeline, holding everything together by being the only character that actually has the code for the core game mechanics.

Also, Conor McGregor blew out his knee in like nine seconds last night and Drake lost a million dollars betting on him.

It can also be found on Google Drive here and on Bluesky here.

I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.

Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.

So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.

Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.

Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵‍💫

Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.

Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.

I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.
