Orken is so dope. Would love to do a project like this for some of my own stories and characters.

Page 8 pt. 2!

The blue beam of light lifts multitudes of the aliens, their expressions changing from joy - to sorrow - to horror as they float skyward, their last embraces still clinging between bodies below.
< Surrendering our bodies meant trillions of shared experiences and combined knowledge. >

Floating amongst holographic representations of knowledge: science, planets, biology, engineering - a single figure arises. Their face, a horrifying mixture of awe, triumph, and twisted joy.
< Our advancements multiplied infinitely. As our neurons danced we brought order to the quantum realm. >

< We became entwined with the building blocks of creation. >

Peer at Page 8 and into the origins of the Assimilator! Comic by @sketchsawyer.bsky.social @brianatkinsart.bsky.social @joewillsart.bsky.social @derekree.se As always, new pages on our Discord first: chroniclersoftware.com/discord #indiegames #gamedev #comics

An apparent utopia, idealized mostly by the vast public green spaces plus the utopic vision of free, high-quality mass-transit in harmony with nature.
< We knew our beginning and we saw the end. >

A beam of light emits from a stylized city, abandoned public park and lake reflecting the central tower’s light.
< The universe was set to expire. >

A crowd of three-eyed aliens celebrates, flags waving. Mothers embrace their children.
< Our only chance at finding a solution was assimilation. >

When we're designing puzzles, we start with being silly in the office! Then we make an animatic explaining the idea to our designers. (Awesome work by @emmagracereynolds.bsky.social!) What are some of your recent favorite game puzzles?

And of course I wouldn’t end a thread on design without asking @joewillsart to tease the heck out of you all. Thanks for entertaining some of my thoughts on good character design for games! (7/7)

The silhouettes of four characters, each inspired by a suite from a deck of cards, against a blue, sci-fi background of towering buildings.

Updated Character Design for a project. The first image is the original done a few years ago, and the one I did today. 😁

A rag tag bunch of misfits [specifically some former Xbox and Valve game devs] and I are working on an Afro-Futurist 1-4 player co-op story/puzzle/shooter game. Nya, a space salvager, is our main protagonist. Super fun story, extremely fleshed out universe. Can't wait to let you all play it!
