iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

HAHAH probably!!! tbf i am absolutely generalizing a whole genre of youtube videos and projecting my general distaste of them onto this one particular one as an example, but OH MY GOD

this has been nova subtweets a youtube video you haven't watched incomprehensibly thank you for listening

anyway its fine none of this matters these video's audiences are amateurs and if it gets them interested in learning more that's a win, it just annoys me personally to see someone miss the point on the beauty of it all

we as humans have this desire to reduce the subjective to the *objective* so that we can tame and control it and it and replicate it. we love pattern! but whenever i see it misapplied i get so sad. the world is so much richer than you know. you can feel it but not grasp it. im so sorry youtuber man

game design is not hard because 'turns out consumables are inherently flawed as a platonic ideal, you should only use good concepts instead of bad ones, that's where you went wrong'

game design is hard because its all about context, play, our essential proclivities as humans, storytelling, presentation, craft, and all of that is in relationship to itself and deeply introspective in how it is consumed by nature...

an occupational hazard we don't talk about enough is that if you get really good at designing video games half of all youtube videos become lethal brain toxin to you

animation is in blender, game itself is ue5. I'd reccomend godot though, I would probably have made this game in that if I was starting today ;P

her back hop is still really fuckin wip lol

the way this move is gonna work is: - ready sword - dash forward to enemy - quicktime event input - sword swing - hop back to midfield - dash forward to enemy - quicktime event input - sword swing and ive roughly played those parts in that order here

wip ava animation thats good enough for some new attacks. the sword arm actually properly tranforms now instead of popping in, but its so fast you can barely tell lol

I rehabilitate nervous dalmations (yay) to turn them into attack dogs (problematic; still a villain) because my girlfriend (appeal to a younger audience) was hurt by a mugger (tragic backstory)
