Studies: portable electronics edition. Mixing it up once again, will probably try some building/environment studies soon as well. Seems like a good way to get more comfortable drawing backgrounds #studies #tech #fashion

The number one enemy of indie narrative games is the comma splice. Please help spread awareness to this serious issue.

Wild way to open this one up, my guy.

Interviewer: What has led you to this point? And how do you think of the problem of predators on Roblox?
Baszucki: We think of it not necessarily just as a problem, but an opportunity as well.

Yeah, the VO lines in Arc are so soulless and this is why. Just flat. There's a reason why people love the quest givers in Destiny, and the actors play a huge part in it.

What I'm trying to say is, ain't no one making fan art of Embark's characters kissing any time soon.
If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

The topic of AI and Embark is once again here. To me, that studio is making some of the best stew you've ever tasted. Gourmet stuff. But at some point, the chef put a trickle of piss in the broth. It still tastes great, but you know it's in there.

My hot take is they should remove the piss.

Thats Cronos finished. Amazing game and I really wish more people were talking about it. Bloober had a unique vision and they executed on it expertly. It feels like they're hitting their stride.
Cronos continues to be a vibe.
