IMO the best designs in the realm of "science fiction" and "science fantasy" are the ones that look fantastic, but functional. I need to be able to look at it and understand how it works, not just look at it and accept that designers cause for function; "It floats because floating is cool." Yuck. I hate 'magic' elements in…
the fantasy genre can all basically be tracked back to shakespeare as a matter of fact :) at least, shakespeare's midsummer night's dream is the earliest example we have of a story that fits the description of what is nowadays called the fantasy genre, featuring creatures like trolls, orcs, elves and all of the above. but…
Looks good. But I expect it'll fail. The trouble I have with all the recent "Sci-fi/fantasy/graphic novel" movies is that they have to make everything scientifically explainable so our feeble minds can comprehend it and the film can appeal to a larger audience. (I think the trend started with the first Xmen film). This…

personally, I want a majority of my games to offer something I don't see in real life every day. there's lots of fantasty and sci fi out there, but as long as some of them are somewhat original within those boundaries I'm fine. I see plenty of real-lifey stuff too, so, whatever. There's other avenues that aren't explored…

Yeah is most ways Skyward Sword was a big letdown. I'm really hoping they can pull through with a great game this time. Though from the sound of things it won't be out until over a year from now. The rest of Nintendo's offerings seem pretty nice though that are coming out sooner. Maybe Monolith Soft can help the Zelda team…
I do read fantasy a bit too much but the sketchbooks i fill from these are worth it. Visual library for the win. I've polished off a few book series this year already: - The first law series - - Very dark and grimy fantasy taking the idea of heros and really fucking with it. Ends justify the means and progress has a…
Something ive been playing Recently Ys, Ys is a PC ARPG and honestly Ys origin on Steam is easily one of my top 10 ever played games on PC. think zelda with more focus on the gameplay. it can be a tad wordy which i dont mind but teh actual gameplay is tight and a great mix of Action and platforming that works insanely…
because otherwise making a fantastical creature just becomes an excuse to not have correct anatomy or design. Even if something is meant to be outlandish or mythical it should still follow certain rules so that it may be believable. Skeletal and muscle structures are formed certain ways because it -works-. Nature didnt…
