i’ll beat this drum over & over again:
game devs obsessing over Steam as if it’s the only viable platform is self-sabotaging and potentially the death of their business.
case in point: rift riff was designed for Steam with $30k marketing spent. yet it makes 6X on the App Store with $0 on marketing

In my day 52-pickup was a prank, not something you paid money to experience
They're all the same damned thing, pretty much all of them are lazy AI ripoffs of one another, and it's the worst sort of anodyne numbing dissociation-as-gameplay in the world.

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

I find this stuff fascinating; this is basically the animation world's equivalent of how pixel art games were designed to be played on glass tube TVs. The "imperfections" created in the process of publishing the work are part of the planned end product.
The Disney renaissance movies used to look different. They were planned to be printed on 35 mm film -- that's how they were first released.
Modern editions skip that last step in the process. It was a highly developed, overlooked craft, as we explore:

Also amusing that “work hard” in this context is synonymous with not seeing your family. I work hard as hell every day and clock out at five. Skill issue, but if that’s their process I’m stoked they’re at least open about it!

I very much enjoy rigging and animating, from humanoid and animal, to less conventional designs. Working in Unity and Godot to get extra features like associated VFX through frame animation is a plus that I'd love to do more.
