I’m always brainstorming ways to keep the blog relatively lively between ZAP related posts, but a lot of the ideas seem like more trouble than they’re worth. At the same time, I think I should play to my strengths whenever and however I can. Having said that, I’m thinking sometime tomorrow I’m going to try something a little different. It’s going to require some screenshots, but I think a guided tour of some of my spaceship builds in Space Engineers could be as helpful to me for improving them as the LGT sessions have been in helping me stay on focused while editing my work.

I’m at least thinking of giving it one or two tries to see how the format and presentation comes out.

EDIT: (9/8/21

Let’s put a pin in this one for now. I’m missing one of the lighting+skybox mods I use when I’m not working on important builds. I’ve got no idea where it went and I’ve already spent too long trying to track it down. (Would help if the name was intuitive so I could narrow things down with a search) As for why the lighting and skybox matter, they can go a long way when presenting ships in the game. When settings are all normal space is too milky, textures are too similar, and nothing really stands out unless it’s some weird color. So I’m going to take the extra time to polish the ship up some more, then when I find the lighting mod I’ll grab those screencaps and handle the guided tour.
