don't know the person and it's not really my business but fascinating that there's no denial of using it in this message. just hurt feelings about being called slop, as far as i can tell.

Yeah, which is a very ironic thing to change given he used to be the one character who had a smartphone lmao

yeah i accept that it's just a totally re-written interpretation of the character [either approved or literally suggested by hussie] to work better in the cartoon.

and i agree it's definitely still irony poisoned! i actually think his inner personality feels accurate, just not how he shows it.

something i think would be really interesting would be if this is ONLY how he looks/talks to John in the cartoon, but then tries to be cool and stoic to everyone else

i get why it's different but it's still funny that dave didn't smile or express himself more sincerely for like 50,000 pages in the comic and this is the very first shot of him in the cartoon lmao

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Also, by coincidence, the second part of my series is going to touch on enemy formations in much the same way as Dungeon Encounters plays with.

And that was a perfect example for you to dive into which completely goes against the grain of what I claimed about "player attack variety" mattering.

Love the post! As I always do.

I'd be happy to link this in the intro of my next piece in the series as additional design reading, if that's okay with you? Totally understandable if you'd rather I don't. But I think it's super insightful and helpful.

I ended up having more fun with Shadow Generations than Frontiers or Colors! I was pleasantly surprised.

I genuinely like when they do these sudden context-less gimmick marketing drops.

Mavis & Johnny Zing Song | Hotel Transylvania | CLIP
YouTube video by Boxoffice ANIMATION โ˜† Movie Scenes Mavis & Johnny Zing Song | Hotel Transylvania | CLIP

I've only seen this movie once, and it was years ago, but I'm still mad about the lyric "And listen to the ballads of the man named Sting."

It feels so forced. I hate it.

The rest of the lyrics are fine. Even the Lion King reference!

You can have moderation drama when you come back with the basic site features

The people who run this site talk a big game for a site that doesn't even have private accounts, the ability to turn off RTs from specific accounts, or a way to search keywords in posts from people you follow.
