In the 2000s, Ford had its best years yet. It began at the turn of the 21st century when a group of Ford designers, led by J Mays, set out to develop a concept car.

Pony Island is not what it seems at first glance. That's all I say.

And Squirrel Stapler is a short hunting game from the creator of retromodern boomer shooter Dusk and submarine short game Iron Lung. About a desperate man that hunts squirrels for his beloved wife. And a promise of meeting God.

Critique Time!
My first thought as a lover of retromodern design, it looked amazing. Very well acted, and shot.a few points of dialog felt a bit off, as well as some of the pacing. Although to me it felt kinda slow, I didn't feel like it was too long.
I would have like too see more of their powers,

A greyscale image:
A witches hat sits on a 20 sided die next to "Basic Witch Games" in the upper left, above stylizedtext reading "Cord & Sorcery"
From right to left there are four characters:
Declan the Dwarf has short dark hair and a patchy beard coming in on his face. He stands relaxed in overalls, only one suspender clasped. He is otherwise shirtless. He has a tool belt and is holding a wrench. There are light scars just under either of his pectoral muscles.
Tamara, a Human Magic-User, sits in a wheelchairwith a spellbook in her hand on her lap, her other hand brimming with arcane energy. She is wearing a white dress and a tiara, her natural black hair freely flowing.
Corra the Orc is standing tall with a pole hammer in her hand. She is very fit, weaing a sports bra, a flannel shirt tied around her waist. She has small tusks pointing up from her lower lip, several errings in her pointed ear, and she is looking at the elf next to her playfully.
Zaedra the Elf is a pale skinned elven woman with long black hair, casually goth clothing, a spellbook held closed in both hands. She is shyly glancing away from the Orc to her side
Their names are bold under each of them.

It would be one of those retromodern tail wagging the dog setups tho. I would think you could halt the z80 and write directly to screen memory or something

Made some minor changes, namely got rid of the double thumbs as it was a fun idea I suppose but I felt like it didn't add enough to keep. And the shades are now literally embedded into his face (think Boris the Animal from MiB 3)

please look at his peets

Rendered illustration of a humanoid alien reclining into a retromodern couch, being served a mysterious glowing drink by a snake-like alien waitress, and asking the viewer "Who invited you?" irritatedly. This is a fancy, private party setting, and it's implied you snuck in.

Small reference sheet for one of the previously shown aliens. It's an artist-type looking guy, with two sets of arms and very short legs.
The text associated to the main figure says "... Autograph? Ma'am, please, this is an art exhibit, not a *ech* convention center...", implied he's been stopped by a fan.

The half bust sketch to the right of it depicts him signing an autograph from an implied intruder (unrelated to the fan above). Text says "Well, I don't know *how* you made it past security... Hope the effort was worth it..."

The bottom portion of the image has 6 headshots that showcase the visors' ability to emote. Text says "These are referred to as 'ocular enhancements', or 'visors'.
The 'pupils', which are simply pixels projected onto the OLED screens that make up the surface of the visors, can present in a range of shapes and colors, to the owner's discretion.
The pupils only turn off when sleeping, or otherwise unconscious.

The visors themselves as a whole can't be taken off, as they're embedded into flesh and bone."
