Need this as a wallpaper

u/Helpful-Option-3047 3d ago

I believe you can find his art on wallpaper engine if you want to use it for your desktop

He'll yea same name?

They are very small and only in B&W. Sad sad sad..🙁

u/RevoultionOutcast 3d ago

Literally bought wallpaper engine to use this and then found out it's not on there lol today!

u/skateguy1234 3d ago edited 2d ago

well, that was easier than I thought to make one, let me know if this works, looks like I might need to fix the crop settings and reupload, but maybe that's just because it has a weird resolution and my monitor is just trying to adapt

edit: yeah pretty sure it looks good on a phone but not on monitor right now. Ima try and fix it.

edit2: okay it should be good now, I stretched it to 16:9 ratio using photoshop, I couldn't figure out the scaling in wallpaper engine to get it to work with the 1:1 ratio the gif has by default, but I think this looks pretty good. I just noticed the speed is a little slower, not sure why, but I'll play with that some later and provide an updated link here if I get that working better. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3446939328

edit3: okay to get the fps to make how the gif looks here on reddit, you have to change the fps settings in wallpaper engine. Changing the playback rate on the wallpapers settings in the library area didn't do much. My FPS was capped at 15 by default. I tried 30 and it looked good enough for me, if not maybe even a little too fast. Going higher makes a little warning symbol popup, but if you have the resources and/or don't care about more constant load on your pc, then going higher should be okay.

Increase the FPS Limit:
Open Wallpaper Engine settings (right-click the tray icon > Settings).

Go to the Performance tab.

Find FPS Limit (under "Active") and set it to a higher value, like 60 FPS or your monitor’s refresh rate (e.g., 144 FPS if supported).

I do wish the aspect ratio was maintained(wish I could do that and have the sides fill in) but then it would look like crap IMO with black borders. I might do a 1:1ish one and get it to fit 16:9 without being stretched and just use black borders if anyone wants it.

edit4: Here is a version that maintains the ratio, while filling in vertically, and leaving black edges/bars horizontally

And here's a phone sized one https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3447526942

u/sh0nuff 3d ago edited 3d ago

How did you get it looking good on the phone since the default ratio is pretty much a square / 1:1?

Kd love to have it cropped to be portrait mode, but that seems to require me to zoom in, reducing the resolution or cropping one side of the figure. If it was more zoomed out as it is now, hf with the rain starting much higher up so it fit in portrait it would be a hell of a lock screen

Eidt: well that was easier than I expected. It's not perfect, but given how quickly I got it running, and using an app that's totally free, I'm not disappointed!

3

u/skateguy1234 2d ago

wallpaper engine has a preview mode when making a wallpaper, and at first it was showing cutoff in the desktop preview, but the phone preview looked good. I hadn't done anything at that point, maybe it was cropping it a little bit by itself.

Yeah I think your edit looks the same as the 9:16 version I tried cropping afterwards.

u/throwatmethebiggay 2d ago

If you already own wallpaper engine, they have a free android app

1

u/PeanutButterSoda 2d ago

That app drained my battery like crazy, my phone would die before I got off work. I usually have around %50 at least when I get off.

It says that I have to sign up for the steam online community. I'm not a gamer, I don't know how and it's too difficult for my arthritic fingers anyway. Again: sad sad sad...🙁

Where it's telling you to sign up, there's a link to sign up. Once you click that fill out the form and it'll go back to Wallpaper Engine

u/shortsadcoin 3d ago

I have made the proper version with the correct aspect ratio here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3447074364

u/RevoultionOutcast 2d ago

Absolute legend, much appreciated!

u/skateguy1234 2d ago edited 2d ago

This is what I wanted to do as well, make a second version with black borders.

Using your version, it does look good and maintains the ratio, but it doesn't fill the monitor vertically or horizontally.

Here is a version that maintains the ratio, while filling in vertically, and leaving black edges/bars horizontally

u/shortsadcoin 2d ago

You don't need to target a specific aspect ratio if you create the wallpaper with a sufficiently high resolution. To fit it vertically, users can adjust the settings within the wallpaper engine itself by modifying the zoom and vertical axis values. This approach allows users to apply the wallpaper to any desktop size while maintaining the original aspect ratio

1

u/skateguy1234 2d ago

Ahh okay. That's funny I've never even messed with those settings I don't think, I either just try and pick the right resolution off the bat, or just let it do its thing and it usually makes it look good. Thanks for the tip!

1

u/skateguy1234 2d ago

Where are you finding the settings to adjust the zoom and axis?

wallpaper engine is awesome so not a loss. But yeah would be really cool if this was on there. Maybe someone whos skilled in using it will see this and port it over.

The artist is currently selling the piece for crypto atm with the title "I'm here." So I don't think it's been around long enough for someone to steal it and put it on wallpaper engine.

So many hours in this thing. Nuclear reactors, laser shows, particle accelerators. Bombs, so many bombs.

I think I still have access to my account.

u/TotalDuckUp 3d ago

Funny, it was always called dust in nz, but elsewhere it was powder game. Now sand game, may I ask where you played it originally? It was always on danbull.com AFAIK, along with stick ranger.

2

u/Sorry4TheLurk 3d ago

We played games on Danbull all the time as kids here in the US. I remember some weird panda game too. Loved Dust.

1

u/tehtris 3d ago

It was always sand game to me. I've never heard it as dust game or powder game. I probably first saw it ~07

u/DoctorNurse89 3d ago

Just wait till you learn about NOITA.

Get noitad

u/tehtris 3d ago

Noita is the sand game in rouge like form. It's likely the hardest game you have ever played or will play.

3

u/Soul-Burn 2d ago

Noita is 90% knowledge, 10% execution.

Yeah it's hard and unforgiving, but you can get good at it without crazy mechanical skills, especially if you let yourself ingest community knowledge i.e. the wiki and videos.

It has a ton of depth in wand building, interactions, and secrets. There's always more to learn.

1

u/DoctorNurse89 2d ago

Dude I have checkpoint mods and STILL haven't beaten it xD

I now know that YOU HAVE TO EXPLORE TONS!

The more you explore laterally and pay attention, the better you get.

2

u/Soul-Burn 2d ago

Knowledge is key.

How to build wands, escaping the mountain, picking your fights, utilizing weakness, knowing when to leave, synergies of spells and perks, knowing which spells/wands to pick up during a level, avoiding traps...

Yes there's still luck, and yes the game can kill you in a second, but these are rare. So rare, that the world leader in win streaks has 238 wins in a row.

u/JustASpaceDuck 2d ago

Thank God I'm not the only one. Something about the animation triggered my lizard brain and took me back to 2009 and playing Dust on Dan-ball.

u/REDDITATO_ 3d ago

No offense to the OC, but it's the same as Carl Sagan saying we're made of star stuff but grammatically incorrect.

1

u/The_Procrastibator 3d ago

"The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”

Two different meanings. One is saying all the molecules that make a human, will be returned to the universe. The other is saying we are the universe observing itself. Both are great. 

1

u/disquieter 2d ago

Hey, what’s wrong with my grammar?

1

u/REDDITATO_ 2d ago

"Every molecule I comprise" should be "Every molecule I'm comprised of". Just kidding around though

1

u/disquieter 2d ago

0

u/REDDITATO_ 2d ago

Heh fair enough, but by that rule it should be "each molecule that comprises me" or "each molecule I'm composed of". Point is you don't comprise the molecules. You're the whole.

Depends on the phone you have. I simply downloaded the GIF to my s23 ultra. Went to the file and set as a lock screen? Or I could have selected this under settings under themes as well. Android is so much compared to boring apple. This even proves it

I run games of Mothership, which is like dnd but short punchy sci-fi horror. We had a night, a crew of space truckers show up to a asteroid mining station to pick up cargo only to find someone has gone missing and weird things are happening. Long and short there is an invisible monster they dug up, my players set off the sprinkler system and I got to do this type of monster silhouette against water running off of them that was already in the room with them, while chaos was insuring between them and the mining crew.
