Absolutely in love with our foliage system and how it turned out, and weather creates an insane atmosphere!

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Right, but outside of Looper which wasn't as succesful, I don't think he made anything that was as crazy as SW. He definitely has a knack for mystery and ultimately if he made non-skywalker film, I think it would be a pretty good movie and would have been received better.

They did that with Rian Johnson, which did so much brand damage I think they are extremely averse to that whole idea unfortunately.

Agreed. Very disappointing announcement. If I want something safe, warm and fuzzy, I'll just rewatch the OT. Give it to Denis Villeneuve! But I bet he wouldn't want to touch it knowing the LucasFilm / Disney middling into the production start to finish.

Very foggy sunset but I really like it

My game is getting more and more atmospheric everyday! Can't wait to catch some anomalies!

All of these were added as options to remove in Accessibility setting in day one patch, so I wonder if all these options didn't ship on time and weren't included into difficulty options disabled by default for "normal" difficulty? Or maybe "focus group didn't know where to go" so here we are.

I did like it, definitely lots of new questions, but man was the road here rough! Could easily have been 2 and half maybe 3 hour long movie, taking mostly Episode 5 and 9 and 10. Too much sitting in the vans and going up and down, up and down...

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

But, it is spooky and got so much to learn from it's sound design!

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

IMO it's leaning so heavy on symbolism that it left the actual story substance on the table and outsourced all of it to the player, and then backtracked even with that by having a slideshow at the end explaining the entire plot. That type of stuff really grinds my gears lol.

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

TBH, I tried playing the game, and heavily dislike it's game design language and story writing mechanics and it's delivery. But atmosphere was top notch, yet got so bored looking for objectives that watched through the game on youtube instead. The biggest dread is the story leaving you hanging.

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Ooooh I thought it's the new one! Still pretty impressive

100

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

that's impressive, how in the world did they manage to render the game 8 times with same framerate, I bet the graphics are lowered but still

making spider crawl the wallsies

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Well it's straight from the game haha. Idk the character creator is a bit weird

Man the face shapes are so weird in Zero Company like none of them look good lmao

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

If the prices go down within a year, maybe... But wonder if they will ever will at this point =\

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Idk I'm not impressed with GTA6 it's like, just regular GTA stuff but better and different idk what the hype is about tbh ngl

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

idk just something about it wasn't jamming with me, it might be just a me issue so don't take it seriously 😅

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

I couldn't get past the UI, it was "too" detailed even though I'm a sucker for that style it just didn't stick in my brain, just didn't feel good to work with. Wonder how it is now after updates though.

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Totally! Even though personally, reviews don't really sway me one way or another, but I see your point. I wonder if reviews / critique like this does influence the bottom line though? I just go by taste, if it entices me & am in the mood, I chase no matter the reviews.

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Makes sense and I respect that! Either way excited to play even more now

110

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I see I see! Makes sense about length but you kinda got me excited to play it and see if I feel the same or differently about it! Thinking about doing a playthrough of it this weekend.

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Would love to learn your quibbles! I still need to try the game tho, just having too much fun making one that can't make time to play any lol

making a game about investigating anomalies in the bavarian exclusion zone WATCH / DISCERN / REPORT

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Godot is good but it's very cultish and witchhunty and I'm not talking about AI. Also very unreliable with so many issues closed cause of weird decisions at the foundation layer with bugs being there since 2016 (like changing scene won't update instances until restart).

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Making a game that feels like this

Digital Photography of level blockout inside Flax Engine. Super excited for the game we're making.

like look how this screen is so JUICYYYYYY

David Svez @daveranan.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

This is the best design / pitch deck I've done for our concept game and I'm really excited about it. I wrote and designed the entire pitch deck in just two days! Would you play this game?

I would say pretty successful level blockout for a few nights! Needs detailing now and interior layouts. Excited to start playtesting it within next week with some gameplay of anomaly investigations!
