I worked as a freelancer in games for about 7 years. Your reliability and professionalism is everything. If the client can’t rely on you to deliver work when promised they should absolutely work with someone else next time…

This looks rad as hell and like a LOT if work!

That’s not to say there shouldn’t be any built-in history or background to a dungeon, just that it should all directly be intractable or relevant to what exists there now in some way (which is obviously the case with most good dungeon design)

Wasting the players time. In a TTRPG, you’re muddying the waters by describing layers upon layers of history and set dressing if it’s not actionable in some way. The players attention drifts or fixates on something that can’t be manipulated.

Hard agree with this take. Layers of history are only as interesting as they can be directly interacted with. This is very much in direct contrast with video game design. There a history is useful because the concept artist can craft a visual space that communicates it through osmosis without

Here's a handy guide. If the media are saying a politician is doing socialism, they're not doing socialism. If a politician is doing socialism, the media is telling you they're doing islamic terrorism, destroying western civilization, turning your kids gay and in league with china.

what happened to 90s video game star COOL SPOT?? This four part comic has the answer 1/4 🧵
This is a comic about what Cool Spot is doing in 2024. Told in four parts.

Panel one: An aged Cool Spot is woken by his alarm. He looks like absolute shit.

Panel two: He puts on his comedically giant sunglasses but they bring him no joy. There is nothing funny about his life in 2024.

Panel three: The once moderately popular 7UP mascot makes himself coffee and lights a cigarette. The threat of smoking related illnesses means nothing to him. Does he even have lungs?

Panel four: Looking forlornly out of the window of his trailer park home, Cool Spot fantasises about killing Sonic the Hedgehog with a shovel

People need to try KalaPaint! I’ve worked in videogames as a concept artist for 12 years now and this is the first time I’ve felt comfortable switching away from Photoshop! I’ve tried CSP, Krita, Affinity etc. This is faster, clearer and more feature rich imo. kalapaint.app

I'm not much of a Pokémon person, but my son is & trying to buy him cards at retail prices has been nigh on impossible the last couple of years, and I refuse to pay scalpers for anything. So it warms the cockles of my heart to see so many of them having a full meltdown about the recent set. Enjoy!!

In-game AI character Ms. Second is using AI generated voice. Using humans voices for AI character would be cultural appropriation.

It’s my preference too. I always point to the Electrum Archive whenever this comes up. It’s the one system that has a ton of negotiation and ephemeral outcomes, plus it feels structured enough to be actually playable.

Yeah it’s an absolute nightmare. Capcom could maybe foot the bill for something like that? But I’m not actually sure the Death Stranding games were profitable… they really only work as interesting catalogue pieces for console manufacturers.
