I've had this stupid joke in my head for the past 3 weeks, I had to put it into drawing
Theatrical poster for "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me," except the portrait of Laura Palmer is replaced with a Walkling from the game Big Walk, and the film name is replaced with "Big Walk with Me"

Formal affordances are the elements that pull a player toward certain actions, they “cry out” for the player to take those actions. Material affordances are the actions a system actually allows the player to take. Agency occurs when the two are in balance. (Mateas 2001)

Genuinely, this completely rules
-Recently, the game has been going viral on X for its beautiful undressing animations. I’ve even read in one of your previous interviews that the development team practiced stripping themselves as reference for the undressing animations. What was the process behind making the animations actually like?

Matsui:

I’d love to know how far that story has spread. It’s true.

First, we write a plot for each undressing scene, then draw storyboards, exactly as the original team did. Then the real work begins, because the animation is essentially all keyed by hand. A designer moves the clothing’s 3D model, frame by frame, manually. It really is pretty much like the claymation method I mentioned.

We did try automating it with physics simulation first, but it was a total failure. The cloth moved in a physically correct way, but had absolutely no allure. We learned a profound lesson: accuracy and sensuality are two unrelated properties. In the end, we accepted that humans would have to do all of it.

Then VR adds its own weight. In a normal game, if something becomes awkward, you can cut away or swap models between scenes. In VR, the player can look from any angle at any time, so none of those tricks are available. The same model has to undress convincingly no matter where you’re standing. When I described this to a designer at another studio, he said, “I would never do that.” I’ve chosen to take it as a compliment.And then, yes, the part you’ve read about. The undressing motions themselves use motion capture, but the deeper problem was that nobody actually knew the correct rhythm and order in which a person takes off clothes. So, the directors gathered and undressed themselves as reference. “That zipper is coming down too fast.” “She’d pause once before slipping her shoulder out.” These were serious, sober discussions. For compliance reasons, the Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns team works in a walled-off section of our office – and that was the moment those walls truly earned their keep.

wow. even the less dramatic version of this (the graph that probably includes data centers, with better frame of reference) still paints the picture. that's. hmmm

would it be feasible to replace the 0-alpha padding with texture dilation? that would fix the issue without changing the filter mode

The world would be better if we all made and stayed friends easier, always had energy and patience to be kind, and remembered to check on one another. I think the biggest pain of grief is that there should have been more time and love and kindness.

For folks just arriving at the party: it's even cooler than this, since it's 3 if you squint! The hemispheres also function separately. Very cool/weird shit happens if they get severed. There's an entire subterranean world of rabbit hole there to dig into if you want to learn some WILD brain stuff.

they also produced the (terrible) animal farm adaptation earlier this year. when they're not making religious content, they have a conservative, revisionist bent to their media. i'm a bit surprised runner isn't that - it would be a first en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_S...

Ah, hello prince. This is a nice day for rolling, isn't it? We got the idea for rolling up some things. Well, for you to do it. Maybe some fluffy things. Fluffy things with points in their mouths. They make a noise, aw aw? I don't know how it goes. Get a lot of them. Anyway goodbye, I don't love you

hmm. that stray balloon string seems... *odd* to say the least. i can see the weird hand pose kinda making awkward sense, like i can make that pose with my hand. but the string... makes less sense reverse image search doesn't help. i wonder if there's a synthid watermark
