I was not expecting the thrill ride that I received when I downloaded Ib. Ib is a horror adventure game created by kouri. The game puts an emphasis on puzzles (I just love them) and discovering. There's an genuinely interesting story that I thoroughly enjoyed and also scares that made you jump.
The game follows the story of a young girl named Ib who is visiting the art gallery with her parents. When she stumbles upon an interesting painting, everything changes and she must find her way out of the hell that she's fallen into.
If you have ever seen or played To The Moon, you'll quickly seem similarities in design. The game takes an interesting turn in creating a spooky atmosphere and it is definitely one of my favourite games. I finished the game all in one go (excluding my dinner break) in around two hours and a half, and I loved every bit of it. Different endings, sudden scares, unsettling events, all of these are featured in Ib. You can download the game for free from the official site.
Another Lyric Video?
After finishing the Can't Hug Every Cat kinetic lyric video, I soon thought about making another one. I actually enjoyed creating the video and look forward to doing more kinetic typography if not kinetic lyrics. Anyhow, it might just be another short side project to add to my list. I just wanted to put it up on this blog as an update to what I'm doing.
The song I currently have in mind is Counting Stars by OneRepublic.
Cognitive Process
As I've said in a few posts before, I have taken up anime and the series I last finished was Accel World (which by the way I really enjoyed watching). In the anime there is a program called Brain Burst that increases the cognitive processes of the user. Essentially to the user it seems like time slows down and gives them time to think.
So the idea that I have derived from this concept (that is unfortunately fictional) is that time passes more slowly if you increase your cognitive processes. The fewer processes that you have, the faster time goes by. That is saying that if somehow we were able to create something that increased our cognitive processes (or perhaps our consciousness), we would (in a way) slow down time.
It's really interesting to me because time slows down for some people while to others time just flies. I don't know what I'm saying. It's just how I see it.
Post Done.
Playing Ib took a lot out of me (glad I didn't have any homework today), and that will be all for today. It feels like summer has been really long and school is still a far amount of time away. I'm kind of anxious to see how people will be like after we've gotten over our first year of high school and now know (for the most part) the true colours of each other.
It feels like some of my friends have grown really distant and I'm actually scared of losing them. I know I will never be able to be good friends with everybody that I want, but I still want to be friends. What I'm scared most of all is missing out on meeting people. I'm an 8 today.
