Listen if you want more indies making things, they need money.

A lot of it.

Where is that money gonna come from anyway, and will it be remotely enough?? People gotta house and clothe and feed themselves and pay bills.

We need cash injection back in the arts and billionaires need to be taxed.

My concern is that there are no creator friendly platforms in which we can be truly independent and thrive. We either build them ourselves online or devise some completely new way to distribute media.

Got to help out a bit on this one last year, glad to see the trailer for this thing is finally out

Oh it's out, finally!

Honestly though? I think it's unfair journalists get a slightly longer build to play than we do with the Steam demo because we are kinda robbed of experiencing multiple ways this game approaches quests and puzzle solving.

It is my hope this game is able to stand on its own merit when it's done.

As for the writing, I find myself drawn to the bigger intrigue, which is great for what this demo is trying to do. I think this game needs a level of sincerity that cuts through the walls Hershel puts up to hold herself together.

The beginning minutes could make or break this game for others.

Narrative voice direction felt a little rough in the beginning, but became softer and infrequent as I went. The jazz music was a surprise and not unwelcome.

Hershel comes across as someone with undiagnosed ADHD and CPTSD just trying to keep things under control with coffee, cigs and candy.

I'm trying out Zero Parades [academic curiosity] and the art and visual presentation is slick and polished. There's a lil bit of an illustrative scribbly element to all the painted textures. The overlapping quest structure and putting together clues as I went was cool, patience is rewarded here.

steam next fest is on already? damn ok ok

imagine wine going up because the grape harvests were low

we just don't love fruits enough to fight for lower costs

re fruit discourse - all fruit is generally good for you, you should definitely eat more fruit

the costs however.... what the heck

🙏🙏🙏😌

pray frieren and jigokuraku go for longer to maintain proper sanity levels

in the middle of trying to find a drawing shorthand for vi but there's so many dang straps and stuff i gotta trim down

#vi #arcane #art

If you can, definitely get one that's been frozen

What I found more tolerable was the jackfruit which is like a much younger durian

it's like the asian rite of passage slash hazing ritual

some people are built for durian, i am not

what happens when his horns get rubbed

Thank you kindly!

hnn melvikaaaa

happy balloon dayy!

I certainly did for the backgrounds in Arcade Spirits The New Challengers, the only difference was there weren't any little 3d characters standing around or milling about

Congrats~

I thought sitting with the awkwardness of pregnant pauses was supposed to mean something, there was nothing. it gave me nothing but the worst vibes. I felt like people were reading the script and bad directorial notes at me.

It felt like experiencing a client from hell's film pitch.

I love your action-y stuff, and i appreciate the level of restraint on vfx/post processing

yep. agreed on grave of the fireflies.

Those two have a lovely dynamic

New Paranormasight game is out and so far it is a lovely celebration of Japanese folklore. Not quite as jump scary as the first game but the tension still sits heavy in moments that matter. I love the characters and their interactions, it makes the horror land.

Catch. gAI use in some codex entries.

the duck pouty faces are back!
