not to absolve disney of anything of course... but my theory was that disney invested in this shit for the sole purpose of staving off a near cataclysmic economical implosion that was imminent up until they announced this disney isn't stupid, they know association with it is detrimental lol

Macaulay Culkin wrote a tribute to Catherine O’Hara after her passing “Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you but I had so much more to say. I love you. I’ll see you later"

15) Silksong: the worthy sequel of Hollow Knight trapped me in its fascinanting world, complex map and obscure storytelling. Travel with the untamed Hornet to the top of Pharloom, where a secret scheme has been set up and an ancient ruler is reclaiming their old position. Difficult but I loved it.

14) Stray: A cat falls into a droid-city and gets involved in a rescue mission of inimaginable scale. Impersonating a cat in a futuristic urban context was definitely good, despite the jump-limitations felt contraining. I enjoyed it although the cat ends up a bit overshadowed by the worldbuilding

13) Hob: an alien world, a plague, one last inhabitant trying to recover the original state of things... or is he? An engaging platformer-metroidvania, where organic e mechanical mix together in a lush but decadent realm. Don't get lost and make you final choice wisely!

12) Peak: I didn't actually finish the game, probably never will but I have already nice memories. The annoying trumpet played by my friend, his screams when assaulted by a skeleton, a collaboration based on giving helping hands or blaming each others. Reaching the peak shows players's true colors!

Pronti per leggere tutti i pensosi commenti di liberali e illiberali di destra sulla sinistra che diventa “radicale”, “estrema” e tutti gli aggettivi che gli stessi editoriali evitano accuratamente di adoperare per i fascisti?

11) Bioshock Infinite: a gift from many years ago which I decided to approach. I am bad at shooters. Very bad. But the steampunk setting, the entertaining dynamics between the two protagonists, the superpowers made it closer to my taste. Not sure I got the story right. Easy mode, nothing to prove ^^

Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio had a budget of $35 million and every single character was moved one frame at a time by a human being. What the fuck are we even doing!!!!!!!

Positive thing of being stuck at the vet for two hours: you happen to see two different owners realizing that their two dogs are called respectively "Freud" and "Jung"

10) Many Nights a Whisper: protagonist of an ancient ritual, you have to train your skills to achieve one,single, decisive shot. And each night before the ceremony, you have to listen, accept or refuse the desires of your people. Shall you fail, those dreams will be lost forever. Archery & feelings!

9) Firewatch: an adventure with touches of psychological thriller, compelling characters, well crafted "red herrings" and beautiful red sunsets. The faraway lookout acting as a landmark, an objective, a character and an aspiration. An ode to nature, exalted by the art of Olly Moss. It's a classic.

Some kodama-like creatures realized for a cancelled videogame project. The last few images I can show so far. It was a fun task back in Tequila Works, since I have a soft spot for this kind of creatures and Princess Mononoke

8) Bramble: The Mountain King. Olle needs to save his sister from trolls who kidnapped her, venturing into a grim world inspired by nordic folklore. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the sudden shifts in tone and the art direction (caught between gore and fairytale). I rarely feel so distant from a game.

7) Strange Horticulture: a puzzlegame about solving the sinister secrets of the city of Undermere (and providing solutions to its hinabitants' more mundane needs) by crisscrossing botanical descriptions and observations. A very recommended cozy, crepuscular, fantasy mistery tale.

6) Undertale: after much convincing I played the game and loved it. An rpg where sparing the enemies not only is an option but turns the combats into mini-games and puzzles, unfolding all the story's potential. The writing, the lore, the meta-element make this gaming experience threedimensional.

5) Endling: a survival adventure game in which we play a mother fox taking care of her cubs while the natural surrounding deteriorates into a wasteland. The artstyle is so catchy and cozy that creates an intentional fracture with the intense gameplay and general vibes. Not relaxing but it moved me

4) After Storyteller I wondered: What else has Daniel Benmergui done recently? So I discovered Dragon Sweeper: a dungeon-themed-minesweeper that kept me hooked for HOURS. I studied the book, the monsters, the patterns and also played it in company. I couldn't actually slay the dragon but I had fun!

This movie (which is available on youtune btw) reminded me how cinema can open doors to fascinating pocket worlds. Do I needed to know about nuns loosing their temper on the Himalaya? Apparently, yes! Black Narcissus (1947) directed by Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger

3) Storyteller: the main mechanic ("trying to enact the given prompt with the characters and scenes available") is a way to apply logic and problem solving not only by following the common rules of storytelling but also the ones of sequential art. It's enjoyable and the artstyle is very funny.

2) Paper Trail: to help Paige finding her personal journey, we need to turn the page (see what you did there ;) ) of the screen, to reveal paths and solve puzzles. A distant relative of Carto, nice artstyle, it's fun and clever but sometimes I solved it after random tries more than clear intuition.

Games completed in 2025: Monument Valley III. This is the chapter in which the developers decided "ok let's actually create a world around this concept". A master, an apprentice, a ritual, a lighthouse, even a short-film. Maybe, too familiar gameplay. But good. Making it seasonal, was a great call.

I watched the videos and took some notes on random paper in the past, but this month i've decided to do it properly like I used to do as a student :D I wrote down all my notes in my "official workshops book" and followed the process step by step. Now I feel like a "good boy" XD

I took some time to practice a bit with Nicholas Kole's course "Fantasy Character Design in Procreate". I also tried to take notes by doodling silly characters, which I think works better for my memory :D
