I agree, something like the Director from Destiny or at least the galaxy map from Mass Effect would have been ideal imo.

Like I've been looking for the Crimson Fleet's base and checking all the systems without being able to find it. Quick access or indicators over a flattened map would have helped.

Absolutely, just wish the rest of the game would be as pleasing as its visual, navigating the star map, loadings and so on are still doing this game a disservice.

Hopefully this will be improved with a more focused experience if they do a Starfield 2 one day.

First person with some the game Starfield. The player is holding their weapon toward the landscape with a morning view over a blue sky. There is an abandoned alien temple in the background and a human spaceship on the right of the screen.

First person with some the game Starfield. A sunset in the distance with a morning fog giving an atmospheric look to the light. The sky is a mix of pale-orange and pale-blue, giving an hopeful mood.

First person with some the game Starfield. The player is holding their weapon toward the landscape with a morning view over a yellow-ish blue sky. There's a distant mountain surrounded in fog with flying alien creature in the sky.

First person with some the game Starfield. The player is holding their weapon toward a mountain with the sun rising behind said mountain, giving a very mysterious look to the picture.

I had forgotten how beautiful #Starfield can be.

Almost every frame could be a painting, and wandering around on some undiscovered planet is still something quite unique and breathtaking.

I am neck (haha) deep into this manga/anime. #TheSummerHikaruDied is such a poignant exploration of what makes humanity lovely and terrible by juxtaposing an actual eldritch horror next to the everyday horrors of human hate.

Please check it out!❤

In these past few weeks, I mostly played linear FPS games, from Prey (2006), Quake 4, Golden Eye 64, F.E.A.R, Timeshift and so on, truly had a blast! 😄

I really wanted something simple, accessible, no RPG mechanic, no quest, just a cool story with some hits moments, linear corridors and explosion 💥

"Designers are like grown-up who helps make things look nice and easy to use. They listen to what people need, draw pictures to show their ideas & work with others to make sure the thing works well and makes everyone happy. It's like drawing a treasure map so everyone can find the treasure easily!"

Asking the following to some LLMs is giving me the most wholesome explanation of the work a Designer does ✨

"Explain what a Senior Product Designer does, but make it simple enough for a 5-year-old to understand"

On the other hand, some friends are now questioning their entire career 😅

Create a larger, invisible hit area around the element, making it easier to click without layout shift!

How? Use a pseudo element with `position: absolute` + `inset: -{value}px`

Browsing the web became a real mess these past few years... Way too much features added to many services in hope of farming user engagement without thinking about the overall experience.

At my level I hope to fix this with Kana, offering soon a simplified and more focused version of these websites.

Gameplay from Spartan Survivors showing a top down view with the main character at the center of the screen fighting several smaller enemies and two bosses moving toward the playable characters.

Currently having SO MUCH FUN creating and play testing the different bosses we're adding to the game, especially on Heroic at 150% Speed Game 💥

Can't wait to release our next update and get your feedback ✨

If I get a flash of a new idea, that alone keeps me happy for the rest of the day. On the flip side, if nothing like that comes up, I end the day feeling kind of unsatisfied. For me, the joy of discovering an idea might actually be greater than the feeling of making progress on a paper. #philosophy

This might be related to our occidental work culture & environment. People rarely spend many years in the same company therefore there's less incentive to coach younger designers for them to leave.

In Japan it's quite different. With less turnovers, coaching Juniors is seen as long-term investment.

Godot Engine for Battlefield showing how a map can be edited to add content.

Wait, the Map Editor for #Battlefield 6 available to all players is actually @godotengine.org?

This is totally unexpected by really curious to see how #Godot can be used to create content for this game and how the whole workflow is mapped!

Magazine page from Arcadia showing characters and their stats in Japanese over an oldish orange background with creatures looking like dragons.

We don't see much layouts like this nowadays, I love it

Arcadia Magazine cover art showing an artwork with 3 characters from King of Fighters 2001, the character in the middle is holding their head in their right hand and having a crazy look in their eyes.

Just found a Internet Archive account posting complete scans from Japanese magazines such as Arcadia and it's a real delight graphic design wise, a must for being inspired:

I mean, look at these amazing cover art 🥰

And it's out. Riveo is now on the mac:)

Now you're telling me an (unofficial) port for #Balatro on Game Boy Advance is a thing? 🤩
