Thats (among others) another great post and analysis. And the Nose? easy! The cartilaginous framework and growth changes + depending how she lives + simply aging means a differently shaped nose can easily happen. Like Fighting for example... and healing a broken nose. (okay that one is easy) Dorsal humps can also happen…
This is a good perspective. None of the other human characters in the game share these features though including Kay's mother so the devs made it exclusive to Kay. Also Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Rey and many of the cast of Star Wars Rebels, Mandalorian and Ahsoka lead similar lifestyles and none of them had make…
Going through Kay's backstory, I thought to explain her facial transformation as an adult as a result of a lifestyle. Ubisoft does say that she had a hard life of petty crime and the years were not kind. I though maybe she had an additiction, like gambling alongside dependency on meth or heroin that altered her facial…
I don't care what anybody says, space jam was a fun movie and unlike many movies I've seen, I still remember the plot and scenes many years later. Do I remember any of the star wars movies? nope
Found this video that discusses Ubisofts approach to Kay Vess's design and is especially critical of the creative directors comments on engaging in "Bad faith" conversations. it does feel on point, save for suggestion of using AI to blend Kay Vess and Humberly Gonzalez. I would have just gone with a straight 1:1 scan of…
It's not a transformation though, is it? She didn't really transform; she just got older and has a broken nose. Most of her facial features are the same as her younger model, just thinner because she's older. There are multiple good reasons for her not to take cosmetic damage in fights. * It means that's more models and…
In universe, these enchantments can do magical things, in fact you could just call them mods seeing how many DLC's you can add for a great many conditions and situations. Considering its a game being sold to an audience in our century, obviously it would take inspiration and reflect the real world. The point I'm making is…
This discussion is getting spacious on the main landing page of polycount. Multiple occurences where there could be art. Can this be tuned down to one link please. None preferred.
lol I always hear that the games industry is a competitive space, but I swear it's like watching maimed hamsters hobble around on the floor sometimes. Most of them are missing legs, another one is missing eyes, and one crazy hamster crawled off into a nearby snake cage because it was having fun exploring, and none of them…
It really is the intent that matters, and yes while the humor is from a different time it is still used to this day in comedy. Sacha Baron Cohen used the word as a clueless Khazakistan reporter in Borat but it is the context that mattered and in the situation in that scene he actually meant it well to the shock of the…
