get well soon!

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

Disaster Report – 2002 Developer Interview - shmuplations.com This Disaster Report interview with Irem producer Kazuma Kujo discusses the pioneering survival game's central gameplay mechanics and character design.

And rounding things out, we translated a Disaster Report (Zettai Zetsumei Toshi) interview from 2002 with producer Kazuma Kujo. It's a quick read but manages to cover some nice ground on the game mechanics and character design. shmuplations.com/zettaizetsum...

Yeah that's the thing that bugged me so much I ended up writing a long ass article on that.

I really can't say that GoT is a bad game designed by a committee - there's a lot of love poured into it, but this love is so eh, misguided at times?

‘It’s the underground Met Gala of concrete murderzone design’: welcome to the Quake Brutalist Game Jam Quake Brutalist Jam began as a celebration of old-fashioned shooter level design, but its latest version is one step away from being a game in its own right

thanks to @ricklane.bsky.social for talking to me and other modders. sorry not-sorry for the ludicrous headline quote

btw credit to @asponge.bsky.social who coined “concrete murderzones” years ago to describe QBJ1 and it stuck in my head all these years

Speaking as someone who's worked with Capcom, stays in touch with its people, and has, shall we say, professional room to maneuver, I'll just say that contrary to what the technical director in the IGN article asserts, I know for a *fact* many Capcom employees are VEHEMENTLY against this direction.

Cover art for new edge sword & sorcery issue nine. This is a photograph of a model set displaying a deep underground cave with lots of painted Styrofoam stalagmites and stalactites. Plastic and clear lacquer are used to create the underground lake covering the cave floor, and a homemade model warrior woman stands in the middle, half sunk in it. Looming in the shadows is some long, serpentine, aquatic horror with big white eyes, watching her...

Oh hey, it's the cover art for issue 9! Modelwork by Plastiboo.

1. Batsugun офигенная!

On Pluribus, System Shock and Collectivism With spoilers

Hey, so my first ever substack post is live.
Had a lot of thoughts after watching Season 1 of Pluribus and couldn’t not share them.

On the show, System Shock 2 and the notion of collectivism.

Any critiques that are written entirely through the lens of Campbell/Hero’s Journey. Shut up.

some empty husk of an ai gen anime warrior guy

awesome and cool purple haired samurai girl drawing with colored pencil

Wizardry The Five Ordeals allows players to use their own custom character portraits and the soul vs soulless disparity has never been stronger than the chars people have shared

ai art could never hope to compete with the raw power of scanning in your pencil & paper samurai HELL yea

Which usually crumbles under its own weight - I don't remember people saying King Kong game was immersive thanks to the lack of UI; it led to more confusion.

The thing I personally like about certain games is that they feel "immersive" as a mix of "logically deducible rules" plus "social life".

Yeah I also happened to write a bunch of words about it and basically came to conclusion that "immersion" as understood by US game industry is a foremost tech/haptic/perceptive value. As in "you die in the game - you die in real life"memes/plots - the technical wizardry able to fool you.

Somehow ended up writing a bunch of words on Rambo, the 2008 arcade Sega game. Also some other things: pathological male rage, self-image and mass shooters.

That's good to read.

I was perfectly fine with Nightreign's concept (roguelite-y spin-offs are not unheard of in Japanese games - see Mystery Dungeon), but I never thought it would end up scratching the itch of 'actually good 3D beat' em ups', which Nightreign is in a way.

Hyped to play more.

winter rolled in right as i took this

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Luca Ronconi's production of Niccolò Jommelli's opera "Fetonte" Set design by Mauro Pagano (1951-1988)

Tennessee Williams’s Suddenly Last Summer in 1998. Set design by Ralph Koltai (1924-2018)

Jean-Christophe Maillot's production of Faust. Set design by Rolf Sachs (b. 1955)

Simon Armitage's production of the Odyssey. Set design by Robert Wilson (1941-2025)

There should be more games inspired by avant-garde stage design.

Бесконечная развилка Об этике и эстетике в Dishonored

Не считая интервью с Колантонио для книги, где про Dishonored мы говорим - и таким текстом карма отягощена (это не столько об игре, сколько ответка-размышление): panmeditat.substack.com/p/b3f

Есть такой грешок, давно уже. Наверное, как и в случае с Dishonored, апдейтну текст потом для сабстэка: dtf.ru/games/745806...
