A funny side bit. When you're actually working on a game, and you're testing your content in-game every day, where everytime you load the game you're playing that main character because it's the default... no matter how good that asset is, the team gets really sick of looking at it, day in and day out. The default player…
i think you've demonstrated why having fewer inputs is probably for the better. you are a single person and have pages of opinions about a character. multiply that by hundreds or thousands of fans and what is the character designer going to do with all of that? a programmer builds a tool to search all the responses and…
Let's be honest, most of the people bitching about it aren't going to be able to point to a technical fault or anything, because that's not their problem. They're just pissy they can't get their dicks hard because they're looking at female characters who weren't designed with male gaze at the forefront of their designs. It…
Perhaps an overreliance on scans, automation, and the lack of proper perspective in Zbrush are more to blame than any conscious decision from the devs ? There are many, many ways a head model can go wrong - and even details as seemingly insignificant as the lack of cast shadow on a eyeball or a hairline being a few…
I do wonder if the games industry should take a more involved approach with fans during development. At the moment its very NDA limited, we never really get to see what a games development is like behind the scenes or have any real input during production. Like interviews with character teams would be great to follow along…
Honestly I had hoped that SBI would have put out a PR response and this would not have escalated to the dumpster fire its become. I really tried to reach out to them and help but they really want to fight what they feel is a right wing neo nazi conspiracy to the bitter end. Its interesting to watch it play out. We now do…
I really am intrigued by Abby's design process and I'm looking into more articles and case studies from Naughty dog to understand their design decisions. They did release this documentary about the game, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC3C7GMMfDU So I'm going to watch it today and then reply more in depth, since the…
That is possible. The new Indiana Jones game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has a Harrison Ford likeness and he is voiced by a different voice actor. Bethesda was able to afford that license, maybe Ubisoft didn't want to or felt that the comparison would be too great. Its great to create a new character, I just feel…
I'm going to try my best and engage with some of the things posed in a good faith manner, even though these conversations tend to be kind of exhausting and go in circles. So just to get it out of the way here is how I generally feel about these conversations: Regarding appeal: It's one of those things that is ultimately…
