I am unfortunately deeply in "need to talk about riverine spoilers" lately and it sucks. Someone else should finish reading it so we can talk about it. Tired of being the only one.

Having to find a reference of an injured animal with a specific treatment being performed on them is. Not great. Because I have seen a number of things I wish I hadn't.

I'm proud of a lot of things in Riverine so far, especially with power usage and trans stuff, but maybe the most is using HEAT as a vehicle for Brooke to realize that Caleb is aromantic

Panel 1: A young woman and a man are on a couch watching a movie.
Movie dialogue from character 1: Yeah I'm sure.
Character 2: I don't know what you're doing. Remember Jimmy Macawain on the yard used to say; "you wanna be making moves on the street? Have no attachments, allow nothing to be in your life...

Panel 2: The tv is displayed, showing character 2 (played by robert de niro) talking
2: ...that you cannot walk out on in thirty seconds flat if you spot the heat around the corner." Remember that?"

Panel 3: character 1 is on the tv now (played by val kilmer, rip)
1: ...for me, the sun rises and sets with her, man.

Panel 4: The young woman ponders for a moment.

Panel 5: The woman turns her head and says "Can I ask you a personal question?"

Panel 6: A close-up of the man's hand using a remote. He replies "Sure."

Panel 7: The young woman asks, "You've moved around a lot since going underground. Have you had to like...leave anyone behind?"

continued from previous image
Panel 8: The man replies "Not in the way they're describing. I've only moved out of caution, and to avoid becoming complacent.

Panel 9: Man continues, "I have made some friends that I do miss quite dearly. It's not healthy to stay completely isolated."

Panel 10: the man finishes, "No girlfriends or relationships thought. Hasn't crossed my mind, honestly."

Panel 11: the young woman looks at him and says "Because you didn't want to date anyone else besides Charlotte?"

Panel 12: The man says "What? No no, Charlotte and I were never like that. I loved her, but she was like a sister more than anything else."

Panel 13: The woman looks downcast and says "Ohhhh...I didn't realize...I misunderstood, sorry. Offscreen the man says "Nothing to apologize for."

Panels 14-17: The young woman thinks before having a realization and turning her head, "Caleb...are you aro?"

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.

Being back on hrt means I'm remembering dreams again. Might as well make a thread. C/w: suicide

I had a dream that I was in this city and I think helping this person look for someone missing. I do have instances of being at work but those aren't shown, I'm mainly wandering around investigating.
At one point my friend is accosted by two young women who work for some beverage company and are vendors trying to like sell product or something. One of the women is very assertive and demeaning and I walk by and go "what are you doing stop being weird" and the assertive one is goes "uh btw we are gay like you two" and my friend and I are like "we aren't dating" and I kinda intimidate the assertive one bc im over a foot taller than her before leaving.
I then end up at a local park that's very busy but there's a ||suicide|| cult there? They just have people ||kill themselves very painfully in the middle of the park in gruesome ways. Like feeding themselves to sharks || or something. A family also looking for someone missing i think sees their person in the cult and the mom goes "HEY WTF" bc there are just so many bystanders watching and then a massive brawl happens between people and the cult
