456 - October Is Almost Over.

HALLOWEEN is coming. My costume for this year will be a long-dead mummy with a sign on its chest saying "BIOWARE". What? Too soon? No, wait, that's not inclusive enough. It should say "AAA video game industry".

SHOP. First things first. Let me present to you this week's addition to the shop/gallery: Iris's brother CG. The pack includes the low-resolution PNG SGs ripped straight from the game and the PSD file. ^^

AI SLOP. MrLazare did his thing again and sent me a whole bunch of cool AI creations based on my work. This time, it's cool video game covers from games that I'm sure exist in a parallel universe somewhere. There are quite a few of them. If you're curious to check them out, the pack can be found in the attachment to this post.

THE INDIFFERENCE. A few days ago, a friend sent me a link to sign the "Save MASS Effect" petition. I did as he asked because I knew it would make him happy. The thing is, the news about BioWare getting shut down didn't evoke any emotions in me at all. Neither positive nor negative ones. While I was playing Dragon Age: Inquisition, I went through both denial and bargaining. With ANDROMEDA came acceptance, and after that, it was just indifference. The real BioWare died in 2012, when the last founding fathers left it.

THERE IS STILL HOPE? Some people say that The Expanse: Osiris Reborn will save us, but I've been hurt way too many times before, so I remain pessimistic. I will believe it when I see it. After all, it's being made by the same guys who created Pathfinder: Kingmaker, and the writing in that game was laughably bad. The character models look reassuring in the trailers, but the game itself may never be released, or the models could get nerfed before release. Anyway, like I said: I'll believe it when I see it. -_-

THE WORK. Work is work, zug-zug. I feel like I have been saying the same thing every week lately: I am working on Irma's bonding events. But it is what it is, just toiling away towards a brighter future. One of the scenes was missing some liquids, so I had to unsheathe my drawing tablet for a few hours, and after that, it was back to coding and writing. The plan for this week is more of the same, I'm afraid. Nothing too exciting for now. Thank you for your patience and support. Laterz.
