I'm still LIVE but Marvel Rivals just announced that the mid-season rank reset has been cancelled! My relief on stream is immeasurable. There will still be new rewards for the second half of the Competitive season though, so the grind continues.

Looks like there will be a mid-season Competitive Rank reset for Marvel Rivals on the 21st of February. Which means I gotta get Grandmaster QUICK before then. But it also means a new costume reward for getting Gold. We're gonna be BUSY!

Marvel Rivals' details on monetization was released and this is HUGE! The biggest W announced is that Battlepasses have no deadline! There's no need to grind & no FOMO. Considerate to those who can't play 24/7! & there's FREE units!

You can read more here: www.marvelrivals.com/devdiaries/2...

Moreover, once you purchase a Luxury Battle Pass, you can continue to redeem its rewards in subsequent seasons if you don’t finish it during the current season. There’s no need to worry about not having enough time to complete it.

Our team has backgrounds in #film 🎬 So we thought it'd be cool to share film storytelling techniques we used in our #indiegame Forgotton Anne!

PRISON BARS
When a character is trapped, this can be visually expressed by putting bars near them to symbolise imprisonment #DevDiaries #gamedev #indiedev

In this scene, there is a gutter with the prison bar effect behind Anne, to indicate that she is trapped and has no control over her situation.

Another place where this technique is used is when the Caretaker is talking about Bonku's past.

Once Bonku disappears from the human world into the Forgotten Lands, there are striped shadows falling across his work desk, which visually suggest that he has now become trapped.

How're we feeling about Marvel Rivals cosmetics?

Battlepasses don't time out but skins are gonna be fairly expensive! Around $16 - $33 per bundle (Skin, animation, spray, nameplate).

@plhblue.bsky.social

I have never seen...

Unlike League of Legends, Overwatch (2), etc.

Which a devs team can listen... It takes years or months to get there

But Marvel Rivals w/ their Rank Reset, following up with MASSIVE uproar and then actually listen and said "ok" in a day
