Several years ago I played around with an idea of combining Soul Reaver with Mike Mignola / Darkest Dungeon kind of aesthetic
I felt like Raziel's character design combined really well with Mignola's angular style

Decided to continue my idea of combining Soul Reaver with the dark, angular, Mignola-esque aesthetic.
This time animated in lowpoly, cel-shaded 3D

In November 1999, Eric Jordan, Tony Novak, and John Carrol founded a digital creative agency called 2Advanced Studios.
The agency was renowned for its innovative, high-end design using Flash technology.

I hope we all find out the names of people in Rockstar's management & HR who made the call.
And I do hope they'll be found liable for openly breaking the law & face same hardship in future employment as the folks they put "gross misconduct" on.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Inspired by the thin lines and solid color fills of Moebius, Josan Gonzalez and BakaArts - “Castle Eisenstein” is my riff on Silas’ work and a way to imagine a similar game, made sometime in the (hopefully) brighter future.

Just like in 1981 developer Silas Warner managed to distil the horrors of World War 2 into a simple stealth adventure game for Apple II computers - the time may come, when the tragedy of here and now will too become nothing more than background scenery.
