(reupload as original was too dark!) I made an Art Students Inventory screen to practice texture projection and the basic blender animation timeline! I had a Vision and I'm really pleased it came out like how I saw it

As a big fan of puzzle games (Lorelei and the Laser Eyes was one of my recent favourites), I really really really wanted to love Blue Prince, but 5 runs later, this just isn't doing it for me. :( Is it worth persisting? Will something major change and make my jaw drop?

fun fact: if you draw fanart for a game within the first week of any sort of major PR event for it (announcement, demo, release etc) there is a 99% chance the entire dev team on the game knows who you are because they are doing nothing but reposting fanart in slack

I hope that at the end of Wicked Part 2, it shows Dorothy rummaging through her pockets, only to find a single $10 bill. Camera zooms in on the face on the bill, then sudden cut to the caption: "Stage musical adaptations will continue in 2026".

Rodrigo Monteiro @amzeratul.bsky.social · 30/11/2024
Wow, I'm actually shocked by how good Wicked Part I was! I'm a huge fan of the musical and was ready to be disappointed, but it was beautiful and it was fun! Certainly my favourite stage -> film adaptation.

I guess a few different ones, but the one that comes to mind is when I called out GameFAQs on their bonkers credits policy (something like no developers, only executives and composers), and they re-activated their account after 10+ years to address it, apologise, and announce changes!

My journey into gamedev began in 1996, when a friend and I saw an ad for K&P in a gaming magazine. We were very sceptical (having had a bit of a disappointing experience with WinLogo), but his mum bought him a copy and we were both obsessed with it!
