Oh of course, games are so complicated, you can “put” so much into them.

I think the “mechanics” of the game are important for the moment to moment engagement, but I find the “story” elements are what tend to stay with me after I finish the game.

Both very useful tools!

Games are such a broad medium that I feel like it really depends on the genre:

Is the narrative that important in Pacman or Minecraft? Not so much, I’d agree with you there

But take it out of a telltale game or the last of us?

I suppose it’s a matter of where the devs are focusing their attention

Ceci n’est pas une mossy rock.

All works of fiction are by definition “not real”, but that’s never stopped me from empathising with any figure in a painting or character from a novel, tv show, or film.

Oh I can see it! I think I might make some separate animations later for some mimics :)

A bandaid when what we need is surgery.

That’s the time period I’m trying to hit! :)

Thank you! appreciate it! :)

Thank you so much! :)

Thanks! Appreciate it! :)

Haha yeah exactly. Especially with movement, my brain just keeps trying to autocorrect to one or two point perspective.

I’m just listening to podcasts and drawing dozens of frames at a time, at some point it just clicks. You gotta just power through the first bit!

Thanks!
I think just getting one strong model done, and cut and pasting the limbs as to keep them proportionate and cleaning those up. I’m really just focusing on key frames and letting squash and stretch do a lot of heavy lifting

I’m an oil painter, so the isometric perspective is a bit wonky haha

Thanks! I’m nearly done with the vertical slice, and the first tests have gone well, so if I keep to pace, the demo should be out in a couple months?

My hard deadline for sure will be before Next Fest in Feb, but I’m shooting for January!

Oh, there was a small bug in the arrows that made the critical hit change the colour of the NEXT attacks text. Fixed! Thanks!
