Any plans after?

Much appreciated, thank you kindly!

I think it's a bold choice for Helldivers to allow friendly fire, but in ME3 it's just one less thing to worry about when all you're trying to do is survive

All this talk about Marathon makes me miss Mass Effect 3 multiplayer.

There was a common enemy, multiple side goals every other wave, and all you had to do was either complete the objectives and or evacuate safely in order to keep what you got.

I could actually! It's not a bad workaround.

What I mean by transform issues is if you have a single image and just move it around, the tiling works -

but once you rotate it and then move it around the tiling breaks. This is a common issue across multiple apps.

Basically it's like you have to pre-rotate an asset in advance before importing

Today I learned something silly in Substance Painter. You can technically use any pngs as a color id mask, but if there's transparency it'll mess up the colour select.

I threw on a black bg which fixed the issue.

Making tilng textiles is a fun exercise, if a bit fraught with some transform issues

Reading all that made my blood boil.

Aren't dudes like him supposed to be responsible for finding and building this next "business model" as opposed to crowdsourcing on linkedin of all places? He has no plan, no vision, no contingency. Blaming our circumstances on social media alone is meaningless.

no skipping leg day

Of course there is no hero to save the day or anything, it's just more batshit inhumane things happening and people and insiders moving money around for funsies.

The insidious banality of it all is disgusting.

NBC has a show called "The Player" [Wesley Snipes was very good in it], where the premise is there's an all seeing AI observing world events for crimes that the 1% can bet on outcomes, our hero tries to stop crimes from happening.

We have an IRL version of this in betting apps. What the fuckery.

Sometimes I see cines that really wanna do the impossibly difficult things God of War[2018] was doing, which is so unnecessary.

In cinematics we don't need the camera tracking characters all the time if we just used hookup shots more effectively as we still can't do most realtime transitions.

Catching up on the Warframe devstream stuff and oh man DE is cooking so hard on the content cadence and sustainability front!

The art team is flexing so hard on Foley what the heck

I hope someone's given you the whirlwind grand tour of the town already!

underrated fave

this is so metal

i have to ask, did you put anything in the cargo pockets?

i'm watching buddies play super battle golf and it is the most exciting thing i've seen all day

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
