i read both "the jaunt" and "a short stay in hell" this year and i don't think any horror concept is more capable of fucking me up than "a really really really really long time"

The torment nexus will install updates and then restart. This might take a while.

When making prototypes it’s so easy for me to get wrapped up in making a little world for my little guy. But you also need little activities for the little guy.

Does Inspector Gadget struggle with the loss of his own humanity? Did he trade his flesh for steel simply to be a machine of the state? Does he not yearn for more?

so many times now, i've been struggling to figure out a character, and then a single funny drawing of them basically solves them for example, selene's "neutral" and "squint" faces turned out to be like... the entire tone of sunshine heavy industries

i actually think media about powerscaling is kind of fun... it just needs to... have an ending. writing a story about a scary godlike villain and then being told to write 80 hours of filler where they get in fistfights with the protags sounds like creative hell

games is such a funny medium. you could animate a giant space battle in like a half hour, but then something like having a 3d character put on a jacket onscreen is the kind of thing ten SIGGRAPH papers would be written about

now that we've shipped two whole games with stories, i'm so jealous of regular book authors. you're telling me you can just "write" that a thing happened and not have to also draw, animate, code, localize, and test it???
