Immediately my favorite scene in all of cinema comes to mind, the lunch meeting in Jurassic Park. "I'll tell the problem with the [decompilation power] that you're using here. It didn't require any discipline to attain it." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Nz8...

Maybe a crazy idea but I wonder if this actually isn't the Drawbridge Stage (st47a) as we know it. This may actually be the mysterious stage 12 (ICO bridge) that was removed from the game. It would make sense to reuse the concept of a removed stage when they needed to connect stages 4 and 7. #ICO

Various symbols used on the flash website that counted down to the 2004 SCEJ New Work Presentation, meant to be the ICO/Wanda side of the countdown while the sakura petals represented Genji.

I sometimes worry that when people speak of "Design by Subtraction", they simplify it too much. It is a form of minimalist design, but its goal is not to remove *everything* except the core concept. The goal is to push the depth of each element included so it can achieve a sense of reality.
A slide from Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido's GDC 2004 presentation. It shows a graph claiming the average game has a wide spread of elements at 'average quality', it then compares this to ICO's approach, where the elements stack atop each other to push well beyond the average quality, and past the boundary of 'reality'.

The slide reads: "Same cost (area), but more protruding design"
"Higher detail and quality within limited volume ~"
"Maverick (or, "behind the eight ball" type) approach"

Here's all the NICO boys horns I'm not sure if any of them are using cut designs from ICO (Black-shirted boy I've used the hiring poster since there's no good shot of him)

なぜGoogle翻訳は単に「影のモデル」としなかったのでしょうか……

ASapphicKitsune @asapphickitsune.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
ワンダの発売まであと数ヶ月という段階で使用されていたボス戦のシャドウモデル(影のモデル)の中には、極めて古いもの――おそらく2003年当時のもの――が含まれていました。変更の優先順位が低かったのも頷けます。

I will say 'Miss' and 'Ma'am' can also have a air of deference/submission in the same way 'Sir' can be used. In school we would refer to our female teaches as Miss and our male teachers as Sir.

I imagine the graves in the graveyard stage are for Queen’s previous bodies.

ASapphicKitsune @asapphickitsune.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Oh I didn’t mean to imply the idols were the bodies. More so the bodies (or souls) are interred within them. I was actually thinking of the big ones in Queen’s room since the black blood might be seeping out of them, completely forgot the main ones have that pilot!yorda figure on them LMAO

ASapphicKitsune @asapphickitsune.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Grim thought but I wonder if the various idols around the castle are where the horned children who were ‘used up’ get interred.

I really can't tell, I think it's just a drawing they mirrored. Perhaps a paint over of the model?

You get to the Cerberus boss and you have to sit in for a recreation of the 12 hour meeting the developers had about fixing the boss.

Apparently the stereoscopic 3D they developed for SOTC was used for later projects during that push for 3D.

ASapphicKitsune @asapphickitsune.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
I actually spoke with someone who worked on this briefly some years ago. It primarily was done by contractors while BluePoint worked on the other parts of the rendering pipeline and one or two devs at SCEJ sent data and provided art assets (@zackmannx.bsky.social made the trophy icons i believe)

if shadow of the colossus was a good game it was have like 2 more minotaur bosses

I am actually losing my mind. I finally decided to get a good rice cooker and ended up going with Zojirushi's Neuro Fuzzy. I just looked at the first image on the website and I feel I'm going crazy. That color reduction looks so similar to OPTPiX iMageStudio's algorithm.
