Digging thru 3d game models to examine topology & also digging thru character lineups for height shape and ratio. It's just bringing up all my different professors' contradicting advice & critiques on art they often refused to acknowledge or view. It's definitely making this first pass not so useful

along with this letter and its warnings please consider this additional takeaway: if something feels off, if you feel disrespected or stonewalled or exploited--talk to your peers about it. it's very likely you aren't alone. and thank you for reading.

I wish I was better at delivering sub-par work instead of spending so much time working on but then not delivering on my slightly better work

Amusing to think that magazines spent nearly four years (the game came out Oct 85) talking about Deja Vu as an adventure filled with pointing and clicking, or played with a "Mac interface", before someone finally wrote "point-and-click adventure". We did get close a couple of times, though.

My favorite monologue from Andor is easily from Nemik's manifesto.
"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction." 1/4

Having fun writing and drawing the almost harmless events caused by the affliction "Unfortunate"🥰

For some reason, I absolutely love owning a file called MinorMishaps.csv now😅

I recently found this great plugin for blender that adds tools like the quake level editor. Do any of y'all other more robust level editing programs/plugins for blender like this? I love this workflow and want to explore more stuff like it.
