bro where is the retopo for high density static assets tutorial

kinda surprised there's not a whole lot of video resources on youtube about 3d modeling specifically for games?

long running episodic format animation is extremely inaccessible, change my mind

Apple still desperately trying to force the touch bar into being a thing huh

I wish more modern AAA games were as ambitious about defying conventions as this game is. This is easily the most refreshing and captivating RPG I've played in years.

Retrospectives seem to compare it a lot to Dark Souls and honestly it makes a lot of sense. There's a whole lot of underlying nuance to the battle rules in both that richly reward players who take the time to learn and experiment around them. Playing smart turns a slog into a breeze.

I'm reading that Vagrant Story's battle system was divisive on release and many people had trouble hooking onto it. Which is odd, because while I find it complex and cognitively challenging — and probably dreadfully boring to watch — I was pretty much instantly hooked. It really feels like it's building on itself as you finish boss fights and accrue support magic to help respond to situations. The weapon crafting feels like it's rewarding me a lot for being conscious of the battle mechanics.

mmmmmm been eating sourdough have you?

every time you sniff freshly baked bread you're really just huffing yeast farts

unreal engine amateur devs really should turn off camera motion blur entirely and stick to object motion blur

the default camera motion blur setting is great for cinematics and absolutely TERRIBLE for gameplay

The game convincingly fakes Fresnel rim lighting with barely any performance issues. Most games didn't even try Fresnel until the Xbox 360 came out...

Vagrant Story is an insanely ambitious game in terms of presentation. That opening sequence is more advanced than many PS2 games...
