"Jasper feels that most mainstream videogames today are trying to be too polished, instead referring to Hylics or Lunacid as examples of "old skool" styled graphics packed with soul. In Jasper's march for Palestinian aid, a real feeling of togetherness is present, even if none of these people met each other. Using reference images, he would use the clone stamp and other photoshop techniques to create a "trim sheet", extracting usable textures from elements of their clothing and likeness,"
"In Jasper's game ID Quest, he created a metaverse for him and his friends to hang out while the real world was off limits. "We did an online event and all of the avatars were anonymous - one of the most interesting takeaways from this was that everyone got really silly and loose as soon as they knew no one knew who they were. People would chase each other around or prank each other, acting really cheeky," says Jasper."
Jasper criticizes contemporary mainstream videogames for excessive polish and prefers old-school examples like Hylics and Lunacid for their soul. He organized a march for Palestinian aid that produced a tangible feeling of togetherness among participants who had never met. He uses reference images, clone stamp, and other Photoshop techniques to build a trim sheet, extracting textures from clothing and likeness and animating them while streaming his process all day. In his game ID Quest he built a metaverse for friends when the real world was off limits. Anonymous avatars led players to act silly, chase and prank each other. The virtual protest hosts diverse characters collaborating safely with humour. Low-fidelity nostalgic aesthetics evoke childhood and convey political steadfastness.
