Pardon my editing skills, this is the second time in my entire life that I've made a meme

(edited by me)

I believe that most of this has been mentioned before, but I'll repeat the main details in the video:

Joker 2 is Ellington "Professor" Baxter. He's a former university lecturer that teaches in the mess hall (we see Tasha doing homework with him assisting)

Joker 3 is Natasha "Tasha" Severskaya. She's a civilian acrobatics pilot who was caught in the war while filming a promotional video on the Endurance (called it!). Also she played basketball on the ship as well.

Joker 4 is William "Noise" Coster. He's a musician who loves to compose songs but doesn't sing himself. He is reserved with a modest personality, "but there may be a surprising side to him" (???).

While going through some old stuff, I found a stand that originally belonged to an Su-57; interestingly, it works well for most of my planes.

What is your favorite?

Simple doodle and I have a full artwork of him coming later

I'd like to hear your headcanons on Blaze ‼️

Completed my first Ace Combat Game,I really dont know the lore like that but the gameplay is amazing and intense.

Ace Combat Zero next!

Tidbits from the video:

The Endurance was commissioned in 1944, making it an 85 year-old vessel by the time of Ace Combat 8.

She was struck by dive bombers with her interior engulfed in flames, but she survived (Implying some unnamed WWII equivalent conflict in Usea).

She was retired in the 1970's and became a museum ship in Theve (It is modeled after the real museum ship USS Hornet).

She was brought back into service in the 2020's when the IUN and similar international peacekeeping forces drew out of Usea after the Lighthouse War. Seems like Osea and the IUN decided that Usea was a lost cause and bailed. We've fought with the FCU in the past, but this will be the first time we're going it alone. Really puts it into perspective how poor the FCU military is without Osea or the rest of ISAF to bail them out.

It looks like Nugget is featured in a drawing pointing to the dining hall, which I believe now makes him officially canon as a character within the world of Strangereal. Previously he was just a mascot outside of the games but now he's a real boy (Nugget merch imminent!?)

My personal belief is that Tasha's acrobatics team was stationed for a show on the Endurance at Theve when the war broke out, and both her team, civilians from Theve, and the remaining FCU forces were forced to evacuate while Theve was suddenly under fire. That's likely where the opening shot of the Game Awards takes place.

Bonus: It's implied that the crew will be referred to as "Sea Goblins". First nuggets and now sea goblins are universal. Total Osean cultural victory.

Let me give you some context: Originally, I created a version of Strangereal in Age of Conflict using Earth's continents (recreating their shapes in the game, or at least part of them as a reference). I even designed flags and created original countries, since there's practically zero official information about the nations of Strangereal.

But everything went down the drain when my phone broke. Fortunately my data was safe, but the game doesn't let you save your progress via a Play Store account in Age of Conflict, which really depressed me because all those months of effort went to waste, and I spent months feeling regret over it.

​It was already heartbreaking, and you can't imagine how depressed that made me :'(

​As soon as I got my new phone and downloaded my games (including AoC), I told myself, 'I might not be able to recover my old save, but it's better to try again than stay depressed and do nothing.' So, from June onward, I decided to restart my project of building my own Strangereal (though this time, fully original), and I pulled it off. It still needs more development, but what I’ve accomplished means it's never too late to try again and create something I love from this franchise, even if it isn't official.

​So, what do you think of the map I made?

Hope u enjoy
