Absolutely loved my time at PAX and at GCAP, was a really wonderful way to spend a week away from home! Lovely to meet a whole lot of new people + people I only knew online. Had a blast demoing GO PHISH with folks and so so stoked at the response from players. Going home tomorrow with great vibes!

Right?? It’s been so long… also honestly post-Obscur I think it’s prime time for the series to come back in a big way

I made a mistake by starting CONTROL: Resonant this side of MIGW because I have a lot of work to do but all I want to do is play CONTROL: Resonant…

perhaps the worst kind of bug to find is one that was caused by a decision you made three months ago and were not expecting it to be the root cause of a problem in a completely different system

So I expect I am gonna be feeling some type of way/definitely will be suffused with impostor syndrome… but I’m hoping to hang out and meet folks and get to know some of my mutuals here that I’ve not met in person yet!

I’m gonna be at MIGW this year (GCAP and PAX). It’s simultaneously my first time going to these events and also my first time leaving NZ (I know, I know - I just never prioritised travel over my other savings)

When I played FF14 a couple years ago I tried to get to Shadowbringers but ARR obliterated my will to live by the end of it… I’m glad you managed to get through to the good stuff!

There is a gameplay-used-for-storytelling moment in Zero Company that was quite literally jaw-dropping. What a fucking game!

Sean @ MIGW @doctorears.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Probably easier to decimate a 3d model but I don't know that it would the exact look that these have. They really look like they've been scanned...

001

Sean @ MIGW @doctorears.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I'd love to know how the artists made these models, if they're just decimations from a high-poly mesh or if there's any possibility that they actually built miniatures of each of the locations they needed for these scenes and then scanned them into 3d to get the desired effect.

110

Sean @ MIGW @doctorears.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

There is this one little visual detail that I can't get over in Zero Company and it's the holograms of the mission locations whenever you're in a briefing cutscene. They really specifically evoke the kind of low detail 3d photogrammetry scan you might get from something like the app Polycam.

I read A Wizard Of Earthsea for the first time last week. What a good book! Kind of wish that it had been part of my introduction to fantasy when I was growing up, it would have been very formative.
