Here is a project I hope we can get moving again (was put on ice a year ago), and finish off sometime in 2025.
It's a Super CDrom System game for PC Engine!
Vid below shows a test level with temp artwork.

Ps2 game likers should be aware that full metal schoolgirl is out now. It's a hack and shoot where two highschool gals fight against an evil corporation producing the "working dead." brainless as heck and feels good to hit buttons.

they really must think we're stupid.
It was nice to see NUKE projection mapping to add particle snow in one of the shots, so they actually did some legit post work on this, but that was clearly on top of the AI slop.
yet that is literally fixing it in post, instead of doing it right the first time

In recent months, some American friends had pointed out to me that the few remaining news outlets still doing journalism were unexpected, like Wired and Teen Vogue.
Of course, the latter is now being swallowed up by its parent company, because it was already too much journalism for that country.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
