Back in 2017 (jfc) I interviewed Team Cherry about how they designed Hollow Knight's map, and got a bunch of sketches and mockups from throughout the game's development to go with it. Bringing it back in anticipation of Silksong!

The creators of Hollow Knight describe how they built a complex, interconnected world, from sketches to final game.

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead” even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.
On her first day in the facility, Becky asked for a scrap of paper and a pen, and began to draw the inmates on the table next to her. She was immediately inundated with portrait requests. A Mexican woman called Lopez, who had a photo of her children stored on one of the iPads, told Becky she would buy her some paper and colouring pencils from the commissary if Becky drew her kids. She soon became the dorm’s unofficial artist-in-residence, with women huddling around the dirty mirrors to make themselves look presentable before they sat for her. They would decorate their cells with Becky’s drawings, or send them to their families. Lopez declared herself Becky’s manager. “She kept saying, ‘Becky, you need to ask for stuff in exchange. Ask for popcorn.’ And I’d be like, ‘Lopez, I don’t need anything.’ I thought, I’m here briefly, you’re stuck here a long time. I’m not going to take your food away from you.”A three by three grid illustrating in blue pen cartoon portraits of women in an ICE detention center. “Mrs Kailey,” Bana, Lewelyn, Ikram, Asil, ‘Auntie,’ ‘F.Z,’ Kseniia, and “P.A.” Two have light hair, three have glasses, one wears a hijab, one poses, and one holds a drink.

Hihi! I'm Ida, a Malaysian-Chinese queer artist! I love drawing girls in dreamy and ethereal situations! 🧡💙
A blue character has her fingers steppled over a dress made of negative space. An imagery of her lungs is filled with black roses and brambles and two bright stars. She has a rose coming out of her mouth as well.A void creature with one horn sleeps in a sea of white stars. Her hair is pulled up and are bi-colours. There are tiny stars dancing around her A woman holds three girls in her hand and she cradles them with a gentle smile. She wears a dark gown and has a veil over her face. Her hair is done up in beads and a braided bun.Two pink skinned characters are in an embrace, there is a knife pointed at the others neck and is drawing blood. There are wings sprouting out of her head and a lotus blooming.

Fixing tech debt is 500% harder than building a solution from the ground up. Layers of bad tech in a massive stack that you need to change and fix while the system is in use without the whole thing falling over. You also do this often without any documentation as to what the code is supposed to do.

What we found was one of the very worst examples of workplace abuse in the history of this industry. That may sound hyperbolic. I really don't think it is. Here's our investigation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR9H... (5/7)

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)
The video thumbnail for PMG's original documentary, showing a white, American hand clasping cash in exchange for the labour of a Southeast Asian workforce, represented here as being weighed down by their immense workload.

This thread is pretty great! In indie teams, I usually teach something similar, but the Project Director role is generally split between a "Creative Director" and a "Producer". One protects the game vision, and the other ensures the game ships on time and budget.
